I migliori ristorantinella città Alba della Cuneo

15/09/2025: Unfortunately, I must express growing disappointment with Livio Montaldo's bakery, which I've enjoyed frequenting for years. Lately, however, the quality of service has significantly declined. For example, the other day, I ordered a tray of pizza and focaccia for the following day. However, when I picked it up, the tray wasn't ready, and instead of being prepared as requested, it was made up "on the spot" with whatever was available. This meant the requested products weren't present in the quantities requested (given that it was an office celebration, this embarrassed me). When I tried to pay by card, I was rudely told that I needed to "be patient" because my phone was out of battery. After five minutes of waiting, I opted for another payment method. This isn't an isolated incident: I've had the cash register close early several times, making it impossible to pay electronically or obtain a receipt, or being asked to make multiple transactions to avoid fees. Furthermore, when I asked to pay by card, the comments were never the friendliest, with phrases like "Hey, if you don't have cash/Satispay." This isn't the first time orders placed in advance were not prepared correctly or even "lost." The lack of organization has ruined more than one occasion (this is a problem noted not only by me, but also by friends and family). Another disappointment is the poor product availability. In the past, when I arrived in the morning around 7:30, the counters and shelves were always well stocked with all kinds of products. Lately, however, I often find the store sparse and with limited selection. I'm truly sorry to write a negative review, because the bakery used to be really good and decent, but for now, I think I'll change bakeries. I hope this can be constructive criticism and that the bakery returns to what it once was.

15/09/2025: This morning I walk into the shop and the girl behind the counter is wiping down the shelves. I wait for her to finish and ask for two scoops of plain flour. She tells me the price and I pay. She doesn't give me a receipt and starts serving the next customer. I wait and ask for one. Obviously annoyed, she goes back to the register and prints it out for me. I thank her and leave. I'm home and we get the bread. It's soft and crunchy to the touch, except for the thick, burnt underside. When I open it, it gives off a strong smell, somewhere between vinegar and ammonia. The crumb is like play dough... where has the old-fashioned bakery gone?

18/10/2025: Worst food I've ever eaten. Worst food ever. Pick another place.

05/10/2025: What can I say...we were inspired by the €18 fixed menu during the fair (appetizer, first course, second course, and dessert). The place is small and a bit shabby, but passable considering it's a bar and not a restaurant. The food was typical of a cafeteria: the first courses weren't what we expected. The lasagna was a nightmare for any Bolognese (sour and floury). The appetizer was acceptable, as was the second course, but the portion was very small. The hazelnut cake, however, was a bit stale. All this was topped off by the shouting of a waitress and the countless flies that accompanied us throughout the meal.

17/09/2025: Unfortunately, I have to give one star because on Sunday, September 7, 2025, I purchased the traditional Alba hazelnut cake from this bakery. As the sales assistant suggested, I stored the cake outside the refrigerator in a cool, dry place until I could give it as a gift. According to the instructions, the cake would last two weeks in these conditions. But yesterday, September 12 (less than a week after purchasing it), I realized that the cake was completely moldy. Therefore, I had to throw it away and couldn't give it as a gift. Attached are the photos.

14/09/2025: It's a shame we didn't read the negative reviews first, otherwise we wouldn't have stopped. We ordered two types of breadsticks. It's a shame we didn't try them right away and waited until we got home (half an hour away, mind you, not two days). They were stale. They tasted like week-old breadsticks.

19/07/2025: Warm beer, rude and off-the-cuff service. A place for (unlucky) Sunday tourists.

21/06/2025: Great attentive service and atmosphere. Food is average.

02/11/2025: Nice location, shame that as soon as we were served the very kind waitress asked us to pay.... a lack of style.... oh, the portable POS was also missing....

26/10/2025: Absolute chaotic staff. 15 minutes waiting ať the table, no order, no service.
