Ventuno.1 Ristorante e Bottega

Truly 5 star experience! We were so amazed by everything at this place. Service was impeccable. Atmosphere has a clean, soft, modern appeal. The menu is small but executed perfectly. The chef has focused on his dishes and he prepared them perfectly every time. We had the pleasure of enjoying their truffle menu and the flavors were intense and satisfying. Their sommelier is a fantastic gentleman and I was astounded by his collection. I wanted to try every single bottle he had. Hands down my favorite place to eat in Alba!

Ventuno.1 Ristorante e Bottega: A Refined Truffle Experience in Alba As two couples embarking on a culinary adventure during Alba's white truffle festival, we were drawn to Ventuno.1 Ristorante e Bottega that promised a modern take on the region's traditional cuisine. The restaurant's contemporary interior created a sophisticated yet welcoming atmosphere. The staff were knowledgeable and attentive, guiding us through the menu and extensive wine list with ease. Each dish was beautifully presented and showcased the region's finest ingredients. While every course was delightful, the standout was undoubtedly the egg dish with potato cream and a generous shaving of white truffle. The combination of flavors and textures was simply divine. Ventuno.1 Ristorante e Bottega offers a refined dining experience that celebrates the essence of Alba's culinary heritage. It's a must-visit for those seeking an elegant and memorable meal during their truffle pilgrimage. Recommendation: Reservations are highly recommended, especially during the peak truffle season.

The food was above average, but the service was disappointing. The strawberry sorbet had a distinctly artificial taste, and we refused to eat it. However, it was still included on the bill.

Amazing restaurant with an impressive wine list (even including a lot of famous French wines). The food was just perfect and when talking to the chef he told me he used to work in Locanda del Pilone, a hotel with a 1 star restaurant just outside of Alba which we visited a few years ago. Worth a visit!

The dishes were beautifully presented. All the antipasti and primi courses we ordered were hits--excellent taste and texture, with very flavorful sauces. However, the secondi dishes were a bit off (overly salty Baccalá, dry & overcooked Brasato). The Tiramisú al pistacchio needed more flavor.

Great place to visit during stay in Alba. Decent food and kind service make a diffrenct. Really spectacular wine list.

Excellent overall. Had to make last minute reservations and they were able to accommodate. The service was pleasant and very friendly with top notch dishes

This was our first time dining at Ventuno.1, and we will definitely be back soon. The wine list is incredible, and is a must-visit for any wine lover. The menu offers a large selection of creative and delicious dishes, all presented beautifully. We absolutely loved our meal here. Grazie mille Ventuno.1 team!
