Worth the travel – No. 29 in the world: Ristorante Piazza Duomo (24. October 2020)
Talking about being lucky. Just the last Saturday before Italy went into lock down of restaurants at 6pm again, I was able to spend an evening at Ristorante Piazza Duomo in Alba, No. 29 of the world according to The World’s 50 Best. And I must say that it is a truly unique experience – […]
Perfect mix of modern and traditional dishes: Osteria La Libera (23. October 2020)
The Osteria La Libera is an upper-class Osteria and more like a typical restaurant as the interior design is modern and appealing and doesn’t have any traditional elements of a classical osteria. That doesn’t make it any more less appealing though. You have to book in advance as else you will not stand a chance […]
Lovely place for a pre-dinner drink: Bar @ Corte Gondina (23. October 2020)
The Corte Gondina in La Morra is a lovely, small boutique hotel which is located perfectly between Alba and Barolo so between Truffle and Wine. And they have a small bar which is great to eat and drink something before going for dinner. The selection of open wines is rather limited but if you are […]
Perfect for a late afternoon wine pit stop: Easy Così Wine Bar Barolo (23. October 2020)
If you are looking for a simple place where you can get a glass of wine and something to nibble on, I can definitely recommend you the ‘easy così wine bar’ – the place is tiny (about 4-5 tables) and there isn’t really much you can get but some wine, sparkling wine or beer and […]
An ambrosial truffle and wine experience: Osteria La Cantinella (23. October 2020)
What you experience at the Osteria La Cantinella is ambrosial to your taste buds. The deliciousness of the dishes and the generosity and friendliness of the restaurant owners is just out of this world. As it was during truffle season, of course one wanted to have an overload of truffle. So the “veal tatar with […]
5. October 2013: Ristorante Madonna della Neve
It is almost exactly three years ago since I have had the pleasure to eat at the Ristorante Madonna della Neve the last time. And I must say while my expectations where definitely high, they were met! First was a round of antipasti (EUR 10.00 for all of them) and it started with “Carpaccio con […]
5. October 2013: Trattoria Tuit @Eataly
I was recommended the Eataly by an Italian colleague of mine (although the one in Turin) and thought that I would not be able to experience Eataly while in Piemonte as Turin was not on the agenda – and then I walked into “Eataly @ Asti” randomly. Funny coincidence so I decided to try it: […]
4. October 2013: Enoteca Moriondo Carlo
As it was somehow the day of the “Distillery Berta” we dined at the Enoteca Moriondo Carlo in Mombaruzzo which is also part of the Berta group. It started with a nice selection of different breads (regular bread, grissini and some kind of thin bread). But that was just to ensure that one was able […]
