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.
