ALICE (A Large Ion Collider Experiment) is the LHC experiment dedicated to the investigation of the nature and the properties of the Quark-Gluon Plasma (QGP) using heavy-ion collisions. Among its characteristics, excellent particle identification capabilities stand out, which are a basic requirement to address QGP physics. The ALICE particle identification performance will be reviewed in this paper, focusing in particular on the LHC Run 2 period.
