Piazza Duomo
Artful excellence in Alba

The gourmet heartland of the Piedmont region, it comes as little surprise that amid the rolling Langhe terroir in the town of Alba, superb dining can be found. At Piazza Duomo in Alba’s old town centre, the Cerreto family have fashioned a space dedicated to creativity in the kitchen, where chef Enrico Crippa has earned three Michelin stars for their efforts, plating artistic impressions of the choicest local ingredients and Italian culinary traditions. Sister establishment La Piola can be found at the same address.
