Conterosso

Ordered pasta with black truffles for starter and veal steak for main. The pasta was outstanding, just the right amount of pasta and a generous helping of truffles. Steak came out a little bit too rare for me, even though I ordered medium, that is just personal taste. Restaurant ambience was good and well located. There was a good wine menu too. Overall, very please with our first meal in Alba.

Above and beyond expectations for our time in Alba/Langhe during truffle period (we luckily been there during the week and not on the very crowded weekend period). Room has a good size, all the comforts with Jacuzzi in the room and sauna just outside of it. Massimo is a great host and mini fridge was made available for us and refilled daily as well as the espresso coffee machine. Breakfast available at the café just outside (one of the historical cafes in Alba -although I understand is closed on Monday). Location is also perfect. |Couldn't have hoped for more!

Pleasant elegant restaurant. But they dont grate the truffles in front of you like all restaurants do in the region. Plates come with truffle (black or white) grated on top. My white truffle on top of my risotto was dark colored and soft, instead of pale and firm. Without surprise the aroma was not intense as it should be. The price was. I recommend demanding the grating at the table.

Coming from a non-foodie, I’ll just say the mixed salad (butter lettuce, tomatoes, fennel, olives, hazelnuts, red cabbage, shredded carrot, and a tiny fried egg on top) was composed of some of the freshest ingredients I’ve ever had. It was so refreshing. We shared the mushroom risotto afterword, which was delicious, but I’m sure the truffle dishes are excellent.

Great delicious foods with big quantities of truffles- we had different dishes with white and black versions - on the plates - best in Alba we have tried so far!

We went on a quieter day- very few people and probably close to closing time in the afternoon but we were served with warm and friendly service. The pasta with truffle is as decadent as it looks! Wow! A truly memorable dish!

Lovely meal sitting in the outdoor patio. Great, friendly service in a busy, central location. A lovely part of town.

ate at the restaurant and had a lovely meal. the service was incredible and the food was 10000/10. wine selection was great too, i cant wait to come back. i highly recommend this place!

We are in town for the truffle festival. During the festival reservations are hard to get so I would suggest booking early at any local restaurant. Many people were turned away last night for not having reservations. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and service was very good. Language was a bit of a challenge but we worked it out with our minimal Italian skills. The menu does have English translations. The veal and caprese antipasti were fabulous. The grilled lamb was cooked perfectly and very mild tasting. The agnolotti with black truffles was fabulous! I would order it again. We finished off our meal with a lovely panna cotta.
