Locanda Cortiletto d'Alba In Alba

We went here for dinner on a trip to Alba. The environment is very cozy, a nicely decorated courtyard, which even though it is just a stone's throw from the center, is neither noisy nor messy. The inn is run by a family, which is noticeable in the welcoming environment and the relaxed atmosphere. We received fantastic service and the staff always answered our questions and explained, among other things, the difference between different wines we tried. In addition to the regular menu, there was also a pasta with freshly caught seafood and a menu with dishes of the day, which we ordered from. Before the food arrived, we were surprised with a very good starter. I ordered a spiralotti with gorgonzola sauce and walnuts, which was absolutely heavenly. The pasta was perfectly cooked, the sauce was delicious and they also offered grated parmesan on top, which we accepted. The size of the portions is perfectly just right in my opinion, enough to fill you up but not nauseating. Afterwards, we each drank an espresso, as we were too full for any dessert. When we went in to pay, we talked to the woman at the cashier for a long time and also got to taste a delicious liqueur from the area. In conclusion, I can highly recommend coming here to eat, and I can't wait for the next time I'm here!

Great little restaurant here. Very welcoming and helpful service. The only place I’ve seen in the area that offers risotto for 1 person. The food was delicious - especially the risotto!

I had dinner and slept at Cortiletto d’Alba, a stone’s throw from the center, and I really enjoyed it. The trattoria is cozy and familiar, with brick vaults and attention to detail that create a warm and authentic atmosphere. My room was bright and equipped with a “single” air conditioner (without an external unit): convenient for cooling or heating, but a little noisy at night, nothing serious, but it’s worth knowing. There is no private parking, but there are places nearby. At dinner I enjoyed the Piedmontese dishes: good, made with quality ingredients and served with passion, and the morning breakfast was genuine and varied. The staff was kind and attentive, you can really feel the care of the family that runs the place. Overall, a great experience: perfect location, high-level home cooking and good value for money.

What a fantastic place to eat. Family friendly with a killer wine list. Easily the best food we had after three nights in Alba.

Really impeccable service, everything very good.

A lucky find and highly recommended ❤️👌 I can't comment on the rooms, as we only had a fantastic dinner. Great value for money. Freshest food & super friendly service.

A very nice and good discovery. Very pleasant service and perfect dishes. Only one drawback: we ate too much 😂😂😂

Très jolie salle dans une cave en sous-sol (attention escalier peu pratique pour une personne âgée). Il semble avoir une terrasse pour le midi. L’accueil et le personnel sont très souriants, très agréables et le service très efficace. Les plats étaient délicieux, cuisine fine et recherchée (slow food) Très bon conseil en vin du pays Roero Arneis blanc. Les plats sont copieux. Nous avons trouvé ce restaurant sur TripAdvisor et le recommandons vivement

Accueil incroyablement charmant & en français 😍 Petite carte, mais un résultat vraiment délicieux. Le conseil et le service était vraiment topissime

My review is for the restaurant. I come to Alba for wine every year and lunch with them completes the special day. The menu features traditional local foods. The excellent quality and courtesy complete the pleasure of lunch. I've never eaten the vitello tonnato as good as they do in Piedmont while traveling around. I also recommend it for the quality/price ratio.
