Piazza Duomo In Alba

Dinner for two - kitchen table - for an exceptional experience. A true pleasure for all the senses.

An absolutely unforgettable experience at Piazza Duomo in Alba, led by the extraordinarily talented chef Eduardo Crippa. What stood out most for me was not only the exquisite food but the impeccable service—warm, professional, and almost theatrical in its flawless choreography. The young staff carried everything with grace and humor, creating a truly joyful atmosphere. It felt like watching a perfectly rehearsed dance: courses arriving in unison for both of us, glasses refilled seamlessly, and plates whisked away the moment they were finished—so light on their feet, I was in awe. It’s no surprise that Piazza Duomo has earned its three Michelin stars. We chose The Journey—eight incredible courses. Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly eat another bite, a new dish would arrive and somehow we found room to savor it all over again. The staff’s knowledge was exceptional; they anticipated every question, explained each dish with clarity, and even surprised us with an extra course tailored specifically to our preferences—something they had thoughtfully asked about before our reservation. A dining experience that was not just a meal, but a true work of art.

Top shelf experience for fine dining. Easily amongst the top fine dining restaurants of the world.

We truly appreciated the warm service and the immersive kitchen experience - it’s something we will never forget and will remain grateful for. However, the food itself was, to be honest, quite disappointing. And I don’t say this lightly, as someone who deeply appreciates gastronomy and the creativity and effort that goes into it. Still, I believe honest feedback is an important part of this experience. The only truly memorable dish was the signature salad - which, interestingly, was not part of the tasting menu and had to be paid separately (think 5 euros). The mushroom dish was very good, while the risotto and veal were just fine but nothing extraordinary. The beet “three-set” course was especially underwhelming; the beet sandwich with cream cheese and caviar was, frankly, one of the worst sandwiches I’ve ever had - and coming from the UK, that says a lot 🥲 Dessert also felt rather ordinary. Overall, I could not believe this was three-star food quality, although we really appreciated the experience. I think the star is for the creativity and techniques of using of different veggies and herbs… I am hoping that they can do a bit more for on the flavours themselves because I do want to be back! 🙏🏼

I had high expectations for Piazza Duomo, having wanted to dine here for years. Given these expectations, it’s pleasing to report that my expectations were exceeded. The meal (the journey) was expansive yet flawless. Each element was carefully executed & beautifully balanced. The service was attentive yet retained a warmth and humanity which reflected a passion for sharing the exceptional cuisine and vino. While the menu might seem on the fave of it to be expensive, this is a truly five star experience which will live long in my memory and inspire my own culinarily endeavours. If you come to Alba you should reward yourself and invest in a visit to sample the menu at the wonderful Piazza Duomo.

We tried the seasonal menu, everything was very good and well-prepared. It was definitely a must-see.

An exceptional experience, from the first course to the last there was always an emotion of flavours, dishes presented with obsessive care, excellent guys in the dining room, congratulations

Nuova visita e menù Il Viaggio: non è solo l’ispirazione dal mondo dello chef ma un vero viaggio tra idee geniali, sensazioni di gusto raffinato, tecnica di cucina eccellente. E poi l’orto, che la fa da padrone …..

Sabato a pranzo. Abbiamo osservatole persone ai tavoli e visto sorrisi, espressioni del sentirsi felici. Persone accese, vive, senza la necessità di avere un cellulare in mano per riempire la noia. E' un'esperienza che coinvolge tutti i sensi, è sentire di star ricevendo amore, lo stai gustando lo stai vivendo e questo produce endorfine a profusione.
