La Piola

The intuition stemmed from the Ceretto family's desire to promote their local area, also from a gastronomic point of view. The project took shape in 2005 with the opening of the now three-star Piazza Duomo and La Piola, a restaurant based on typical Langhe cuisine. A convivial place where food, wine and art come together. In the kitchen, chef Dennis Panzeri is in charge of preparation of the dishes, supervised by Enrico Crippa; the wine list and dining room are managed by Andrea Canaparo. A big blackboard dominates the main dining room where the menu is written every day following two rules: market supply and seasonality. Also art finds its place inside La Piola with two chandeliers and a number of prints by Kiki Smith. Last but not least, 36 plates made by contemporary artist, a decorative element that recalls the tradition of the Piatti del Buon Ricordo (memorable dishes), in use in Italian restaurants in the 60s and 70s.
