"We truly appreciated the warm service and the immersive kitchen experience - it’s something we will never forget and will remain grateful for. However, the food itself was, to be honest, quite disappointing. And I don’t say this lightly, as someone who deeply appreciates gastronomy and the creativity and effort that goes into it. Still, I believe honest feedback is an important part of this experience.

The only truly memorable dish was the signature salad - which, interestingly, was not part of the tasting menu and had to be paid separately (think 5 euros). The mushroom dish was very good, while the risotto and veal were just fine but nothing extraordinary. The beet “three-set” course was especially underwhelming; the beet sandwich with cream cheese and caviar was, frankly, one of the worst sandwiches I’ve ever had - and coming from the UK, that says a lot 🥲 Dessert also felt rather ordinary.

Overall, I could not believe this was three-star food quality, although we really appreciated the experience. I think the star is for the creativity and techniques of using of different veggies and herbs… I am hoping that they can do a bit more for on the flavours themselves because I do want to be back! 🙏🏼"

"An absolutely unforgettable experience at Piazza Duomo in Alba, led by the extraordinarily talented chef Eduardo Crippa. What stood out most for me was not only the exquisite food but the impeccable service—warm, professional, and almost theatrical in its flawless choreography. The young staff carried everything with grace and humor, creating a truly joyful atmosphere.
It felt like watching a perfectly rehearsed dance: courses arriving in unison for both of us, glasses refilled seamlessly, and plates whisked away the moment they were finished—so light on their feet, I was in awe. It’s no surprise that Piazza Duomo has earned its three Michelin stars.
We chose The Journey—eight incredible courses. Just when we thought we couldn’t possibly eat another bite, a new dish would arrive and somehow we found room to savor it all over again. The staff’s knowledge was exceptional; they anticipated every question, explained each dish with clarity, and even surprised us with an extra course tailored specifically to our preferences—something they had thoughtfully asked about before our reservation.
A dining experience that was not just a meal, but a true work of art."

"After a deeply disappointing experience at another 3-star restaurant in Italy, Piazza Duomo completely restored our faith in fine dining. As hospitality professionals who regularly visit top-tier restaurants, we were truly blown away by the attention to detail, flawless execution, and warm, attentive service from the moment we walked in.

Every dish was not only technically perfect but full of soul, creativity, and balance. The presentation was refined, the pacing impeccable, and the menu took us on a journey that was both exciting and deeply satisfying. Even the smallest elements – from plate choices to wine pairings – were carefully considered and harmoniously integrated.

Unlike many “bucket list” restaurants that rest on their name, Piazza Duomo delivers on every promise and more. Chef Enrico Crippa and his team create an experience that feels personal, elegant, and genuinely world-class. We left not just impressed, but inspired.

Truly deserving of its three stars – and more."
