Piemonte Advice

[boris]

Help or updates for restaurants. We are staying in Acqui Terme. Will travel for great food. Can anyone provide updates on the following restaurants (Antine, Da Cesare in Albaretto della Torre), or other advice? We dined at Da Cesare about 6 years ago and loved it, but haven't seen any recent news or updates. We also dined at Della Posta and enjoyed it; though found the meal to be quite "heavy" and overwhelming....couldn't eat for two days afterwards. We are going in June. Last time we went at the end of October for white truffle season. This time it will obviously be quite different.

Any advise is truly appreciated!!

Last time I went to Piemonte was about in 2005, so I don't have direct and recent experiences.

I can copy some suggestions from people I know and trust.

The best restaurant in that zone is:

Piazza Duomo

vicolo dell'Arco, 1,

12051 Alba (CN)

http://www.piazzaduomoalba.it/

it has 2 michelin stars, so it's quite expensive, but it's worth the money.

Other good choices:

Pisterna

via Scatilazzi, 15

15011 Acqui Terme (AL)

http://www.pisterna.it/

San Marco

via Alba, 136

14053 Canelli (AT)

La Fermata

via Bolla, 2

15047 Alessandria

http://www.lafermata-al.it/

Donatella

viale Umberto I, 1

15026 Oviglio (AL)

Guido da Costigliole

località San Maurizio, 39

12058 Santo Stefano Belbo (CN)

Gener Neuv

lungo Tanaro dei Pescatori, 4

14100 Asti

http://www.generneuv.it/

La Ciau del Tornavento

piazza Baracco, 7

12050 Treiso (CN)

http://www.laciaudeltornavento.it/

Almost all of them have 1 michelin star.

If you go to visit Langhe, then you have other good choices (besides Al Duomo), like Al Vignaiolo.

I have a recommendation for a rustic place in the middle of a regional park:

Bar Trattoria Parco Burcina

Cascina Valfenera Superiore

Parco della Burcina

13814 Pollone

Tel. 328.9552619

Closed Tuesdays

A friend took us there -- great food, and inexpensive (for Italian restaurants, at least).
