Oak Barrel In Alessandria

11/07/2025: It was a journey of taste, with well-balanced dishes served with beautiful presentation. You can tell the restaurant is a former Michelin star. The veal tonné was among the best in Piedmont, and the desserts were exquisite.

29/06/2025: There were 4 of us for dinner, but it wasn't our first time: we had already come two/three years ago and we had great memories of it. This time too, the place struck us for the beauty and elegance of the rooms, the refined and relaxed atmosphere, and a truly excellent service: the staff was always attentive, helpful and very friendly. We really appreciated both the first and second courses, of a high standard in every aspect, from the quality of the raw materials to the precision in the execution. The only aspect that convinced us less were the desserts. Each of us chose a different dessert, but unfortunately all four disappointed us. While recognizing the care in the presentation and the attention to contemporary trends, we found them not very incisive in taste and structure, especially in relation to the price (11 euros). Certainly beautiful to look at, but not satisfying to the palate: unfortunately it is a trend in contemporary pastry making, but it makes us miss the simple but tasty cakes that grandmothers and mountain huts make at home. I hope this little tip is welcomed in a constructive way, since I recommend the experience in this place.
