Piazza Duomo In Alba

Everything was perfect! What can I say, the salad really amazed me. A place where you can have an incredible life experience..Congratulations to everyone

A Truly World-Class Experience – Refined, Warm, and Unforgettable Piazza Duomo in Alba isn’t just my favorite restaurant in Italy—it may very well be my favorite in the world. After several visits, I can confidently say this is the epitome of fine dining done right: deeply refined, yet never cold; innovative, yet rooted in nature and simplicity. The service is, in a word, flawless. Attentive without ever being intrusive, friendly yet professional, humble yet supremely knowledgeable. It’s rare—even at this level—to find a front-of-house team that creates such a consistently warm, welcoming experience. Every detail is polished, but nothing feels forced. It’s service at its most human and elegant. The sommelier stands out as one of the best I’ve encountered in Italy: non-pretentious, insightful, and genuinely helpful in guiding the wine pairing journey without overwhelming it. A rare balance that elevates the whole experience. The food is exceptional. There’s a clear focus on vegetables grown in the restaurant’s own garden, and the result is a celebration of flavor and purity. The chef’s talent lies not in theatrical tricks, but in coaxing out the very soul of each ingredient. It’s magical and honest—a thoughtful departure from the over-processed, over-complicated techniques seen in many other three-star establishments. We appreciated the health-forward approach of the vegetable-centric tasting menu, though if I had one small suggestion, it would be to include just a touch more indulgence—perhaps a dish with foie gras or lobster—to fully round out the luxury aspect. The interior is another standout: playful but elegant, bright but never garish. Every corner feels considered, and the overall effect is both uplifting and deeply comfortable—something few high-end restaurants manage to achieve. To top it all off, Chef Enrico Crippa, as always, remains humble and kind. He graciously took a quick photo and signed our menu—gestures that speak to the spirit of hospitality that defines this place. Piazza Duomo remains a benchmark for what fine dining should be: soulful, smart, and deeply satisfying. I will always look forward to returning.

An incredible place, an incredible experience Don't miss it! You'll experience art in a different way, created with love and executed with skill at the highest level. The entire team is a highlight, with a great deal of closeness yet distance. Simply professional. The sommelier is perfect in his actions. The service is a feast for the eyes, coordinated in secret, everything comes and goes in a relaxed manner. The chef and his team are sensational. Our sincere thanks to everyone else in the background for this experience.

An incredible experience. Michelin-star service, a modern ambiance in a historic setting. But above all, food as art. This applies to the presentation of the dishes as well as the taste. Perfectly balanced, fresh, with plenty of vegetables and herbs. Simply fantastic, 5 points.

Alba, November 2024 Piazza Duomo moved me in a way few restaurants ever have. From the first amuse-bouche to the final delicate bite of dessert, I felt the chef’s passion woven into every detail. The flavors weren’t just refined—they told stories. At one point, I paused and realized I hadn’t spoken in minutes, just completely absorbed by the moment. One dish in particular (I won’t spoil it) brought back memories I didn’t even know I carried. That’s the kind of magic this place holds. If you ever find yourself in Alba, gift yourself this experience.

Refined restaurant classified among the best in the world located inside an alley in the center where the cuisine of the chef Enrico Crippa transforms the dishes into real works of art that satisfy the sight and the palate with unique flavors thanks also to his passion for the vegetable garden and flowers, you cannot choose à la carte, only tasting menu I recommend (Il Viaggio) which represents the most classic and iconic dishes of the Chef infinite and superlative choice of wines and Champagne finally the staff offers a dream service.
