Very nice. Great kitchen and staff. Clearly star level. Prices are reasonable. Wine recommendation was one of the lowest priced wine and a very good wine. We skipped a few courses as we were already very full and did not have to pay the skipped courses. Super fair. Highly recommended. Great find!

“Locanda del Pilone” is every bit a gem in Alba, and their Michelin-starred gastronomic showstopper was delightfully paired with an almost “illegal” (region-wise) Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo Brunello 2001. It was such a treat that we can’t wait to plan our next culinary escape right back there.

We stayed here for 4 nights, the location is beautiful but it lacked atmosphere. No background music, ambiance, rigid pool rules, staff not so proactive. The pool was covered with insects.. Diner in the Michelin star wasnt what I expected. Food was disappointing. The sommelier serves wines without discussing price preferences. So we ended up with a considerate bill and payed more than 450 euro's for two bottles of wine. Which could have been fine if we choose the wines ourselves. When I told the sommelier that I wld have appreciated it if he had discussed this before serving and had given us different priceranges/options he went quite aggressive in his arguments. Telling me in a very arrogant manner that most visitors don't want to know prices beforehand and that he sold bottles for much more than the ones we got. In other words don't complain. Later on he apologised to my husband for his temper instead of coming to me. I personnaly don't think it is normal to serve a bottle of 350 euro's without informing your guests, especially when there is a large assortiment of wines in different ranges. I will definitely not visit this place again, which is caused mainly by the attitude of their sommelier.

We ware in tasting course while all the menu was compounded by the chef and we were very disappointed! First to mall, we were 18 people sitting on three tables - and there was only one waiter for all. Second, - we were sitting in front of the kitchen door, and all the time other waiters were run between the tables to the next rooms! And the most unsatisfactory was the menu itself.
the pita's were burnt and hard like cracker, the fish was missed taste etc. and gnocchi was not edible at all. Not sure how they got to the Michelin, but it was very far from expected.
