Probably The BEST Restaurant in Italy - Piazza Duomo (Enrico Crippa)

  • The founder and head chef is Enrico Crippa.
    He opens Piazza Duomo in 2005, and within one year, he has the first Michelin star.
    He gets the second in 2009 followed by the third in 2011.
    Piazza Duomo is also a regular on the world’s 50 Best Restaurant list.
    At the time of shooting this video, they stood at number 19.
    In 3 hours, Chef Crippa and Piazza Duomo raised the bar and put on a show, and in my opinion, this is probably the best restaurant in Italy.

    We would like to clarify the price information about the Coravin system what you can see in the video. We calculated for a complete setup for a restaurant, which includes several gadgets bor both wines and champagnes. A single Coravin system ranges from €129 to €599 (which is their absolute best).
    Check out their page for more information: www.coravin.com 
(Thank you for everyone who pointed out the misunderstanding!)

      Winemaker here. Former somm too. I just find the Coravin ineffective for keeping wines. Sure, the wine under coravin argon may not be ‘oxidised’ per-se; however wine left under coravin for over x amount of days still lends a wine with dullness

    As a Bangladeshi, I am very delighted to see them respecting our culture.
    We eat our food with our hands because it is said to create a connection between the food and our soul which makes the food tastes a lot better and so that we handle the food with care.

      @@AlexandruHerman Every food doesn't require a fork/spoon/knife and these utensils doesn't make consumption of all types of food easier. Also you can not gauge the temperature or texture of the food with utensils before putting it in your mouth.
      We didn't have any food in our culture requiring any utensils. Soup or noodles were introduced to us after the development of spice trade and the takeover of the Indian sub-continent by the British. Along with those food, utensils also came into play. But when having our traditional or day to day life dishes we still prefer to eat with our hands.
      Rice is the main food of our culture and it is just easier for us to mix everything with the rice with our hands. :)

      @dingledangle265 this is such a stupid comment. I realise it's just a troll, but, I'll bite as it adds engagement for the UA-cam algorithm. They don't review the same content for a start. I enjoy Reviewbrah too, but, he's in the right place on UA-cam. I genuinely think Alexander's content could transition well to TV. There is that much of a gulf in production. It wouldn't be hard to keep going but it would start to look like I don't enjoy Reviewbrah.

    I visited Piazza Duomo in 2016 and it was one of the best meals in my life. Well worth the three stars. The one thing I would say is the service is so professional that it becomes a tad static and lacks a personal touch, which is something I usually like. The barolo menu is incredible, obviously when paired with the local wines.
