In the three-starred restaurant, food, wine and art come together. Enrico Crippa's cuisine follows a personal idea of the chef that aims to exploit the availability of raw materials while respecting seasonality; indeed, the menu changes constantly and uses raw materials from a vegetable garden located a few kilometres from Alba. A dynamic wine list which now includes national and international wines makes it possible to find a link with each of the dishes and enriches the taste experience proposed by the chef. Finally, underlining the Ceretto family's passion for art, the interiors were entrusted to New York curator Bill Katz, who arranged two art rooms: the main one, designed by Francesco Clemente, is pink and decorated with a large vine leaf wrapped around a globe and the continents. The other is enhanced by two curtains by set designer Louise Nevelson.

There is always a lot of talk about how the partnership between the Ceretto family and the genius and regularity of Enrico Crippa's cuisine came about. Thanks to a meeting in Paderno D’Adda, at the first bite of a pumpkin and gorgonzola brittle, Bruno Ceretto knew that he had finally found his chef. It was the beginning of the 2000s and, together with the culture of wine and a passion for art, the Piedmontese entrepreneur and patron was thinking about promoting and exalting his hills through the excellent cuisine of a great restaurant. The chef makes the restaurant, of course. But in the case of Piazza Duomo, it cannot be separated from the centuries-old charm of the location, as exceptional as the menu. For people sitting in the pink room at lunchtime, wrapped in the natural light that the walls frescoed by the painter Francesco Clemente reflect and warm, facing the window is a cinematic experience. The protagonist, in all its splendour, is the Piazza del Duomo (hence the name of the restaurant). This is what it's called in Alba, even if the map shows Piazza Risorgimento.
