About Piazza Duomo
This Michelin three-star restaurant is located in central Alba. The entrance is slightly hidden in an alley to the main square in Alba, right next to the magnificent cathedral. Behind the purple doors lies a goldmine for food and wine lovers. And for those who enjoy art, dining here is something extra, as the wall and roof are covered by art from Francesco Clemente.
The restaurant is owned by the star chef Enrico Crippa and the Barolo producer Ceretto. The restaurant is clearly influenced by both parts; Enrico offers a unique experience with attention to high-quality and local ingredients. The menu is innovative and plays on Piedmontese traditions, as well as being influenced by Japanese cuisine after Enrico's many years of experience in the country.
The wine program is extraordinary, I don’t even dare to count the number of bottles available. The selection is divided into two wine lists, both with the sizes of books. One with only wine from Piedmont, “solo Piemonte” and one for the rest of the world. Here you find everything – big names from the area, grand cru's from Burgundy, delicious bubbles from Champagne and everything in between! Of course, Ceretto being one of the owners, they have made some of their private selection available and this is probably the only restaurant in the world where you can find a horizontal wine list of Barolo and Barbaresco from Ceretto back to the 70s.
For those who want a wine pairing, or go by the glass, the sommelier will offer a wide selection and gladly guide you to new discoveries. The Coravin is used frequently to be able to serve gems by the glass.
A perfect place if you want to celebrate something or just splurge a bit.
