Step up to the plate: Piazza Duomo Alba, Italy



Piazza Duomo boasts an enviable location: right on Alba’s town square, in front of the city’s iconic cathedral. But finding it can be tricky. However, once you do, the food is divine. Chef Enrico Crippa‘s cuisine is a journey through space and time, guided by taste, colour, texture and aroma.

The restaurant, in this city famous for its white truffles and wine, offers two distinct menus: a traditional seasonal tasting menu, and one paired exclusively with Barolo wines. The first features 11 courses, showcasing produce from Piazza Duomo’s own greenhouses and organic, biodynamic gardens.

The Barolo menu, meanwhile, celebrates the iconic wine both in the glass and on the plate. During Alba’s renowned Oct-Nov truffle season, the restaurant also offers a truffle-tasting menu.

What truly sets this place apart is its atmosphere. Crippa’s talent is matched by the unique setting of the historic building that houses the restaurant. The pink walls, adorned with frescos by artist Francesco Clemente, reflect beautiful natural light, while the windows offer a breathtaking view of Alba’s Piazza Risorgimento and its magnificent Duomo, creating a truly unforgettable dining experience.
