Osteria del Vicoletto

We had a lovely lunch here. We decided to have two different pastas, including one with the in-season truffles, and both of them were my favourite dishes from the meal.

I thought I had reviewed this place last year in September when I went for the most amazing chef's tasting menu pranzo I've ever had in my life. I had to resort to lunch because it was impossible to get a reservation for dinner. That's how good this place is. I dined alfresco just beyond the front door. Everything was perfect. Highly recommended. In my opinion one of the best restaurants in the entire world. Can't imagine any of the negative reviews could be accurate. Ignore them. One more thing: this restaurant has a number of dishes which have the Slow Food snail of approval. You don't see that very often. It's not easy to obtain.

What an great place!!!
Very kind staff members with a lot of knowledge of the food and wine!
Inside it’s cozy and a bit romantic, outside you can sit in a quiet street with sometimes a bit of motion of cars and people walking by.

A lot of products from the region, and a lot of it is handmade in the kitchen.
A good variety of dishes!

Great value wine list, handwritten seasonal menu with a wide selection. Fresh starters, the most memorable Italian artisan raviloli and gnocchi, and a stunning beef stew for the main course, which is very tasty.

Ordered one tasting menu and one a la carte. Good portion sizes - won't be going hungry. Good selection of food and well priced, around €15-20 a main. Lovely romantic setting. If there in the summer, note that the aircon is not that strong. Indoor and outdoor seating. Yes the service is slow but if you're not in a rush then just enjoy the evening! Wine recommended by the waiter produced locally was €15 so you won't get ripped off here.

Must go restaurant! Was driving through alba and found this place, it became the highlight of our trip the whole Italy trip!
We ordered several dishes and they were all exceptional with the stand out being the octopus! This was the best octopus of my life.
Service was amazing too! Don’t sleep on this one!

Amazing restaurant. Friendly service. Tradiotional cuisine of the Piemonte region. Freshly made and tasteful dishes.
Located in a quiet street. Outdoor seating in the shade. Indoor air-conditioning.

I loved it here! Had a delicious meal. 3–19.

A+ 10/10 highly recommend. We dined here in our first night in Alba. The house wines by the glass were lovely. The food was amazing especially the tajarin and the beef cheek. The staff was extremely professional and they all spoke amazing English but they were also patient enough to let me try to speak my bad Italian. The panna Cotta is also highly recommend. I can't wait to go back.

Great place to eat. The food was very nice and the service was super nice :)

Amazing place with delicious food! Everything was outstanding: service, food, the wine list! Very much recommended!

Absolutely outstanding food. Easily our best food experience through northern Italy and overall. The wine list and knowledgeable staff are a huge bonus.

Wonderful food, great service, a very fine restaurant

Top!!! 👍🏼♥♥

We had a fantastic lunch, every dish was perfectly prepared, high quality products and the service was very sweet! Especially the fresh pasta and the creamy panna cotta were outstanding! The place is very quiet and lovely to sit. Well come back for sure.

I was attracted to the original menu that featured also some nice vegetable starters and not just veal tartare and was not disappointed. Very good choice of wine like everywhere in Alba and helpful staff. Decor is modern and stylish. Not cheap but good value for money.

Great food, great wine list, friendly service and dynamic food loving atmosphere

Amazing experience! Super nice and professional staff. Food was delicious, Wine and spirits as well. Estremamente raccomandato!!

I found the waiter to be a little stressed on arrival, but after I indicated we were new to the region and wanted to try the various wines, I turned into his favourite customer. At the end of the meal, he asked which I preferred, and after a moment or two of discussion my wife added that the food was excellent as well, to which he replied "ah the food, the food" in a manner to say that yes, the food counts, but what REALLY counts is the wine. If you think likewise, this is the restaurant for you.

Absolutely excellent lunch of tajarin, both with sausage ragù and especially with funghi porcini. Impeccable service. The bread and grissini served on the side were extremely good, unlike in many places. Would go back any day - unfortunately, we didn’t have enough of an appetite on this hot day in summer to sample more dishes.
