Best meal ever!!!…read more They started with afm amuse bouche, which in my opinion was a little dry, but fun. I was VERY happy with the steak tartare with black truffles. And the spinach was pretty great like that other review said. It was delicately but well flavored. And now the noodle. Im a bit ruined for all other noodles. Remarkable. Perfectly al dente too. Flavored in such a way that you really tasted the lobster, it wasn't salty nor artificial tasting. The people were nice, the atmosphere was fun, homey, yet relaxing. The music wad very chill... sounded like Natalie Cole doing covers of 90s hits... turning rock into ballads. Id go back here in a heartbeat and I wish I could bring people here. Turin!!! Who knew?

We were told they were fully booked (and indeed, the restaurant did actually fill up as the evening progressed) - but some of the newcomers were very clearly walk-in guests. The word I'm hitting around is "integrity" -- something that some customers have a tendency to value along with the food they're served... The food itself is so-so. They are proud of their bread but is too soggy, lacking structure. The pasta we had was well presented, well cooked and okay in taste. The cod is nothing special - I was expecting a whao based on the write up in the menu. The dessert with a violet base and liquorice cream is a winner! Well balanced, full taste with the right level of acidity and sweetness. An excellent piece of work! The service was average. Well spoken but lacking attention most of the evening.

I had an anniversary dinner at Ristorante Solferino while visiting Turin and it turned out to be…read moreone of the highlights of my trip. The location is great: right on beautiful Piazza Solferino in the historic center, very easy to reach. The restaurant itself is elegant but still feels welcoming, with a spacious main dining room and a smaller, more intimate side room. The menu has plenty of choices, with a strong focus on seasonal and local ingredients. I tried several dishes, and they were all fantastic. One dish I definitely recommend is the steak tartare with quail egg yolk, mustard, anchovies, onions, capers, and a touch of Tabasco (a great balance of flavors), which is brought to your table with the ingredient kept separate, and the assembled table-side by the waiter. The zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and mint on pea cream (light and fresh), were also great, just like the tajarin alla Monferrina, a classic Piedmontese fresh pasta that was incredibly flavorful. For mains, I had the larded pork fillet with pea cream and broad bean salad, and the standout of the evening--the braised beef in Barolo wine with drops of polenta, which was rich, tender, and full of flavor. Even the bread basket was memorable, with breadsticks and a variety of different breads. Service was attentive and professional, and the wine list offers some excellent Piedmontese bottles to complement the food, plus great cocktails. Overall, it's a great spot whether you're looking for a leisurely dinner while exploring the city, a business lunch[1], or even a special occasion. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Turin. --------------------- They have an Aperitivi & Tapas section on the menu.

We were warmly greeted by Maria Chiara. Since it was a lovely, warm, sunny day, we decided to dine al fresco. The menu was quite extensive and reasonably priced. We had traditional Piedmontese pasta called Tajarin. I enjoyed it with a lemon sauce, and my husband really liked his with the meat sauce. We also had a very fresh mixed green salad. With bread, cover, water, two pasta dishes and salad, our total bill was € 32. We were completely delighted with our lunches!

Named after Aristarco Scannabue, the pseudonym used by Giuseppe Baretti, a 1700 poet/writer/critic…read morefrom Turin, as Scannabue is located at the intersection between Via Saluzzo and Via Baretti, this wonderful restaurant serves excellent traditional dishes that gravitate around local ingredients, in a "vintage" setting that is both charming and welcoming. In a city that offers high quality food at affordable prices, this was perhaps the dining experience I'll remember the most of my stay in Turin. The menu is curated and offers a large variety of Turin and Piemonte dishes; some are traditional by the book, and other ones are reinvented by Scannabue. I highly recommend the "Menu della tradizione/Traditional tasting menu", which offers a panoramic culinary view of what this fantastic city and region have to offer and, at €32.50 p/p[1] it's an amazing deal. Our meal started with Bruschetta w. liver patè and candied orange amuse bouche, and the traditional tasting menu featured: - Vitello Tonnato/Thinly sliced veal with tuna sauce and capers. - Cappuccino di baccala'; cured cod served with potatoes to resemble a cappuccino. - Agnolotti del Plin 3 meats: rabbit, veal, and pork; sautéed in Alpine butter. - Guancia brasata/braised beef cheek slow cooked in Barbera wine, served over potato pure'. - For dessert choice of Bunet/bonnet (traditional Piedmont chocolate pudding) or Panna cotta. I loved my meal at Scannabue, and I would certainly come back to try all the other dishes on the menu. As Scannabue is also popular among locals, reservations are strongly recommended. -------------- [1] 2 people minimum.

Termed home cuisine or comfort food, this would be food you'd normally find out of a nonna's cucina or at a typical home dinner. You won't find anything close to a fruitti di mare or carbonara, so don't bother asking. However, if you're up to have food Italian locals have (you will rarely see tourists stumbling here as it is quite off the beaten path), come dine! They serve their lunch specials (11e) and dinner specials (16e) which are decent assortments of their signatures as well as a-la-carte menus. Prices are very reasonable and flavorful. I can't say service was particularly warm, but they certainly delivered their expectations of home cuisine and I was satisfied walking out the door having paid less than I expected. Come here to try their agnolottini or tagliatelli funghi. Shout out to their grilled eggplants in a chimichurri that delivered a punch in the midst of their carnivorous selection

You can have a cappuccino, a croissant, and an orange juice for €3.50 for breakfast. Service is very good too. The best part is the building and the galleria around it, breathtaking.

Not to discredit Del Cambio--I'm sure it's a great restaurant--but I had such an amazing experience at Magorabin.   I was in Turin for business and decided to stay an extra day on my own to explore the city and eat a nice meal. I flew in on my birthday, so I was celebrating my birthday late on my own since I don't know when the next time I'll be in Europe. You can't dine alone at a table, so I decided to eat at the social table even though I preferred to be alone. Luckily, I was the only one! Probably because it was a Monday night.   I can't even begin to explain all of the dishes that I ate that night. They sent me the menu, which I included in the pictures, but let me tell you... everything was amazing!!! The dishes weren't too small or too large, and I was able to enjoy every dish without being completely stuffed. 100% visit!!!

Candidly only young people running the show is ok but not perfect, I believe seniority still matter on a upscale dining experience. The food worth the one star even if the menu is pretty short, the desserts... not so impressive. Wine list is fairly priced and vaste enough. The "chef choice" set menu is such a trend those days, annoying as honestly I'm over! Is not personal with Mago Rabin, is a general tough ... part of the skills should be exactly the opposite: stick on a creative revealed menu and perform, specially when the chef choice is more because of convenience than creativity. Said that, thank you for the very pleasant night, I'll be happily back when in Torino.
