Federico Gallo, born in Turin, is currently the Executive Chef at Locanda del Pilone, a Michelin-starred restaurant nestled among the vineyards of the Langhe, in Alba. His cuisine strikes a refined balance between Piedmontese and Mediterranean traditions, with dishes that tell the story of the region through vibrant colors, aromas, and flavors, always infused with a personal and contemporary touch.
After graduating in 2006, Federico embarked on a journey of training and discovery that first took him to Tuscany and later around the world, from Mexico to the United States. These international experiences enriched his culinary vision and inspired him to elevate local ingredients with creativity and a deep respect for seasonality.
At Locanda del Pilone, Gallo has crafted a gastronomic offering that evolves constantly, supported by the creation of his own garden, which allows him to work with fresh, seasonal ingredients with greater awareness and creative freedom. His dishes are distinguished by their balance of acidity, texture, and bold, clean flavors.

Cooking Shows offer an immersive fine-dining experience, where the chef prepares the dish live on stage, blending technique and inspiration. Alta Langa accompanies the entire journey with elegance, culminating in the tasting, enhanced—upon request—with White Alba Truffle and exclusive gifts.
The experience includes:
- The dish prepared by the chef
- A glass of Alta Langa DOCG
- S.Bernardo water
- A 100g mini panettone by Galup
- Tartufo Regale, an exclusive handcrafted praline created by Michelin-starred chef Ugo Alciati, faithfully replicating the shape and color of the famous Alba truffle
The experience lasts approximately one and a half hours. To ensure quality and organization, menu changes are not available in case of allergies, intolerances, or specific dietary needs.
The Alba White Truffle is not included and, for those who wish, will be charged separately according to the daily quotation of the Truffle Market Exchange.
Children who wish to participate in the tasting must have a ticket. If they are present in the room without taking part in the tasting, this must be communicated via email to info@fieradeltartufo.org within 72 hours of the event, so that seating next to their parents can be arranged.
