ristorazione — Ricca · Piemonte
In the Langhe, among the vineyards of Diano d'Alba, a distant tradition finds an unexpected home. In Ricca, amid the greenery of the Tennis Club Alba, La Nuova Partenope brings the authenticity of Neapolitan pizza to the heart of Piedmont, with the fidelity of those who accept no compromise.
The entrance opens onto an unexpected setting: not a Piedmontese trattoria, but a piece of Naples transplanted among the hills of the Cuneo area. The restaurant sits within the grounds of the Tennis Club Alba, in Ricca, a hamlet of Diano d'Alba — an address that, once discovered, is not easily forgotten, and one people keep coming back to.
The kitchen does not stop at pizza: from starters to desserts, the menu builds a complete journey that satisfies both those seeking Neapolitan tradition and those wanting to explore other flavors. In the warm season, the spacious outdoor terrace set in greenery extends the evening outdoors, turning dinner into a moment of quiet far from the city.
The wood-fired oven is the heart of the story: a dough that is soft yet crisp, a tall cornicione (crust rim), and a tomato chosen for its sweetness and lack of acidity. The menu also features out-of-the-ordinary specialties — the Diavola 2.0 and the Nerano — gourmet pizzas not found elsewhere, which customers point to as the house's greatest strength.
An authentic Neapolitan pizza in the Langhe: a happy anomaly worth discovering. The page tells the whole menu and how to book.
