The food is traditional, but excellent and since the vast majority of its patrons are locals it is very reasonably priced. If you come on the weekend you will see large family groups eating together, not for a special occasion but just because Italian families eat together from the 85 year old grandmother to the 2 year old great grandson. They have 3000 different wines to choose from as well. Awesome choice for any occasion.

I was looking for an unusual dinner place that wasn't as traditional as most restaurants in Alba…read more Found this restaurant. Quite honestly it was a very welcome diversion from the regular cuisine. Osteria is actually a bit hidden the door is quite nondescript and because of that a bit hard to find so looking for an OM sign is a need. The decor is quite modern and menu while not very large is very good at showcasing the local cuisine as well as adding some novel dishes that accent the local cuisine. This probably one of the best "Plim" I've had in Alba though.

The tour was both informative and enjoyable, offering a great insight into the region's unique grape-growing methods and winemaking traditions. We took the English-language tour, which was well-presented and easy to follow. After the tour, we enjoyed a wine tasting that was not only educational but also absolutely delicious. Every pour was a treat, and we ended up shipping several bottles home to enjoy later. If you're a wine lover, this spot is a must-visit. The setting, the knowledge shared, and of course, the wine, all make for a memorable experience.

They have a nice gift shop inside and we were buying things even before our tour. Lol. The tour started at the front entrance. We were given a brief history on the family.

Like other ristorante in the area we have visited, you can count on top notch service, beautifully presented, hand-made food and an extensive list of local wines at astonishingly reasonable prices. We have learned to share courses in order to avoid getting too much food (even though portion sizes here were "normal" and not the typical over sized ones of USA). We started with a fresh tomato baked with burratta cheese inside followed by a beautiful sage and ricotta filled pasta then a filet of breaded veal that was cooked perfectly. To finish, we chose a chocolate hazelnut dessert and also enjoyed a nice Barbera wine with the meal. Total was only 92€. Caution: it is a MUST to book ahead-they only have about 15 tables on the patio and turned away many diners trying to walk-in.
