Great little location on Via Cavour to grab a Focaccia Sandwich or Pizza while strolling the streets of Alba. Always crowded with locals, but very friendly and great value. There is no inside seating. There are a couple of tables you can stand at outside in the street.

We called to Book a table for six, and once we arrived they told her that there was no more availability. It was already late so we then had a really hard time looking for another place. The man that had answered the call denied the call and was pretty impolite!

Michelin prices but not Michelin quality. Found setting a bit stuffy. Service though pleasant didnât find genuine. Amuse Bouche was bland. Starter of king crab was amazing as was the scallops. Should have stopped there. Risotto too rich and fettuccine though cooked just right also bland. Tooth fish not fresh with stringy texture and overpowered by coconut. Deer steak cooked properly but the sauce was too rich and took away from the herb flavours on the meat. Broccoli excessively covered in saltGood wine recommendation. Good breads to start Think maybe the star rating should not make for complacence but to strive harder for higher levels of culinary excellence

We were lucky to get the last seat without reservations. The wine list is very extensive and takes some time to review. The pasta was delicious! As well as everything else we had. My wife and I usually share our meals and create our own tasting menu, and they accommodated us very well, often bringing out two divided plates.Dinner it was a three hour experience as is typical and made Italian restaurants. Enjoy the time and relax!

Una classica trattoria con piatti del territorio dove gustare la cucina casalinga e primi piatti di pasta fresca .
Reviewed By Elibel_2017
Had a great lunch here, the place was packed and we were lucky to get the last table available.We started with the tajarin alla crema di tartufo which were served in the cooking pot and had two genrous portions each, delicous. After that we had vitel tone' (which was meant to be a starter, but i had as a main) and cingiale con polenta, both delicous. Loely bonet and coffee to finish.The owner is a bit of a character and was out talking to some of the diners and wheeled out the trolly with the house speciality, boilled meats.

Little restaurant with owner chef. Reciptes by grandmothers. Own made beer.
Reviewed By PiemonteFoodie
When I have a hankering for home (USA) -- and frankly, even when I don't -- Boia Fauss fills the need. The wood-lined interior pub has a Seattle-Vermont vibe with hip owners. Across a small access road, tables fashioned out of barrels, old sewing machines, and other raw materials let guests sit all day and night outdoors gabbing. There is a "laborers' lunch" of the day for 11 euros (pasta, meat and veg) and a generous apericena for 2 euro in the evening. When you've imbibed too much (it happens), half a sheet pan of pizza will set you straight. If you plan on spending time here in the evening, you should reserve a table (it gets crowded).

What a beautiful, friendly eating place! We visited The Cortiletto on the strength of its positive TA reviews and are glad to report that they are all wholly justified. Exactly as reported, this is a small, friendly, family-run restaurant with an informal vibe and Piedmontese cuisine of the highest order. My pork cutlets were things of beauty and I just wished I had asked how they prepared those pink potatoes. A bottle of high end Barolo was served with all due reverence and the light Friuli we chose was perfect as part of the supporting cast. Service came from the restaurant owner as did a complimentary round of local amari at full time. We wended our way home very happily.

We booked this restaurant because the reviews were good. We arrived and realised that there was no menu. We ordered the wine and just at the right time the first antipasti arrived. What we didn't know is that 3 more antipasti were to follow. After that 2 primi and 1 secondi. The food was so delicious that we didn't ask what was coming next because we wanted to enjoy the surprise. The pace between one dish and another was perfect. The meal ended with a choice of desserts. What a great place few min drive from Alba. The view front the restaurant in daylight must be stunning. The house itself is beautiful. Lo consiglio con piacere. Il servizio e' perfetto.

I emphasis the word experience if you choose one of the tasting menus. And why wouldn't you if cacio e pepe on the ala carte menu is Euro 70!! Yes, you will spend Euro 700for two and you will be fascinated by the parade of small plates that are beautifully presented and delicious. Sure I wasn't a fan of a few of the 40+ items that came our way, however, the culinary ride you will be taken on is unforgettable. I often compare such an artistic and flavorful dining experience to buying expensive Broadway tickets. In a way, it's a bit of a show. However, a delicious one. The time and attention it must take to make the majority of the small plates has to be intense. Piazza Duomo is very similar to Blue Hill at Stone Barns in New York which only offers tastings - a bit of this and a bit of that of seasonal, flavorful items. I will mention just one dish - that is the salad made with 100 different garden items. Yes, you get an actual card with all the ingredients. The restaurant is not as formal as other top world restaurants and the decor was "interesting" - the corner wall nearest to me appeared to have to people in a sex position - but hey - did I mention it is an experience? The staff is attentive yet friendly. We were one of the last to leave and was happy to see Chef Crippa pop out to say hello. We were staying in Turin and trained it out. Note that Alba is a pretty place with lovely shops.

Ristorante di classe , elegante e curato . Servizio impeccabile ed efficiente. Scelto il menu della tradizione con degustazione orizzontale di vini che però ha avuto un costo piuttosto elevato (sottolienando il fatto che le stesse bottiglie sono state servite per uguale degustazione anche ad altri due tavoli).
