The story
Piazza Duomo sits at 4 Piazza Risorgimento in Alba, the Piedmontese town that gives the world its white truffles, Barolo, and Barbaresco. That address alone sets expectations high — and the restaurant has earned the Wine Spectator Best of Award of Excellence, a recognition reserved for wine lists of extraordinary depth and breadth, to match them.
Alba is one of Italy's most food-serious towns, and Piazza Duomo draws directly on that landscape. Italian cuisine here is understood in its most rigorous, regional sense: ingredients sourced from the Langhe hills, a kitchen that respects the seasons, and a cellar curated with the seriousness that earned its Wine Spectator distinction in 2021.
Travelers make detours to Alba for its markets and its wines. Piazza Duomo gives them a reason to linger at the table as well. Whether you come for lunch or dinner, the combination of place, produce, and a wine program recognized at the highest level makes for an experience that is entirely of this corner of northern Italy — and nowhere else.

History
Exceptional cuisine
In the heart of Alba, overlooking Piazza Risorgimento—one of the most elegant and recognizable corners of the historic center—Piazza Duomo welcomes guests into a setting that masterfully combines sobriety and refinement. Behind its discreet facade, the dining room unfolds as a suspended space: bright, tranquil, and punctuated by carefully calibrated artistic touches—most notably a fresco by Francesco Clemente that has become an integral part of the experience. A universe of restraint and wonder. Enrico Crippa is renowned for making the plant kingdom the star: every leaf, root, and sprout finds its voice in dishes crafted with meticulous, harmonious precision. His cuisine is a dialogue between art and flavor, woven with symbolic references that transcend the act of tasting itself. Impeccable service, an intimate ambiance, and a deeply immersive experience. The wine list, curated by Jacopo Dosio, pays homage to the Ceretto universe before venturing further with expert insight and sharp focus. A diverse range of options and experiences awaits.
