When you just feel like doing a little ‘food dance’ @ No. 18 of the World: Ristorante Piazza Duomo (30. October 2021)

It’s approximately one year ago since I’ve been to the Piazza Duomo (back then, No. 29 of the world) and I was very much look forward to another amazing dining experience at the Piazza Duomo, now that it was No. 18 of the world. You have to pick the menu you’re having well in advance […]

When you score a table for lunch and it turns out better than expected: Restaurant Aldente (30. October 2021)

When you score a table for lunch and it turns out better than expected: Restaurant Aldente (30. October 2021)

It turned out to be extremely difficult to find a place for lunch on Saturday during the truffle fair. Everything was booked out. I called 10 different restaurants and none of them had a table free. We walked into a few and asked for a table and even there, no luck. However, with the Aldente […]

Decent but relatively pricey for Italy: Restaurant Ventuno No. 1 (29. October 2021)

Decent but relatively pricey for Italy: Restaurant Ventuno No. 1 (29. October 2021)

The Ventuno No. 1 was on the Michelin list, not with a Michelin star but as a recommendation so I had high hopes which were partially satisfied. The evening started with a breaded eggplant with some curd which was nice but nothing exciting. The “bread selection” was fine in terms of breadth selection but not […]

An absolutely lovely place to enjoy a few drinks: Garden Bar @ Corte Gondina (29. October 2021)

Already last time when I was at the truffle fair in Alba, I stayed at the Corte Gondina hotel since it’s just a lovely place with super friendly staff and they make sure you have everything you want. Besides the good hotel quality you experience here, you also get a lovely garden area where you […]

Lovely for a quick Italian lunch: Restaurant Voglia di Vino (29. October 2021)

Lovely for a quick Italian lunch: Restaurant Voglia di Vino (29. October 2021)

The Voglia di Vino was more of a random find but actually a surprisingly good one, especially since it’s not that damn easy to find anything which still serves food at 3pm. Once seated, we got the menu right away and were given some butter and carrot cream as an amuse bouche which was quite […]

A delicious wedding meal prepared by Chef Luca Mozzanica: Restaurant La Veranda @ Villa Lario Resort Mandello (18. July 2021)

Now, one should usually not rate experiences of formal events but given it was the place of chef Luca Mozzanica which has a world-famous raviolo, I think we can make an exception. The whole evening started with a “burrata” which was good in terms of flavor and good in terms of combination of ingredients on […]

When it’s so lecker you have to return: Osteria La Cantinella (25. October 2020)

Although I had just been here two days ago, I decided to come back since the tajarin with fresh truffle (“home-made tajarin with butter and fresh white Alba truffle sliced on it”) (EUR 40.00) was just absolutely outstanding. The good thing about little place which are family-run is the fact that they recognize you when […]
