La Piola — Restaurant in Alba

La Piola is the Ceretto family's everyday restaurant, the same family that runs the three-Michelin-star Piazza Duomo on the floor above. The same suppliers and the same dedication, but in a relaxed bistronomy setting with a glass terrace on the Piazza Risorgimento opposite Alba cathedral. Chef Dennis Panzeri works under the supervision of Enrico Crippa; sommelier Andrea Canaparo runs the wine list. Star Wine List Red Star; 3,901 reviews on Restaurant Guru with a score of 4.8/5. One of the strongest wine lists in Alba: the Ceretto collection in particular is impressive, with all of the house's crus (Brunate, Bricco Rocche, Bricco Asili) available, including older vintages, plus a broad selection of other Barolo and Barbaresco producers. Those in the know describe La Piola as one of the best places to drink serious Piedmontese wine without the formality of a top restaurant. Classic Piedmontese cooking with a light contemporary touch: vitello tonnato, tajarin al ragù di salsiccia, agnolotti del plin, brasato al Barolo, panna cotta.
