The avocado toast is excellent as are the eggs Benedict. But above all are the pancakes. They are fluffy and just heavenly. I've never tried the sweets but they all look wonderful. Give Sweet Lab a try. Note: It may say they're closed in Mondays but they are apparently open everyday except Christmas! I almost didn't come on my last day in Italy. It would have been a loss

Delicious Gelato and Smooth Service We discovered this…read morefantastic local gelato shop, and the gelato was absolutely sublime rich, flavorful, and perfectly creamy. The prices were very reasonable, especially for the quality. Unlike the typical laid-back European pace, the service here was impressively efficient and well-organized no rush, no stress, just smooth and quick. Pro tip: Be sure to pay first at the register before getting in line to order your gelato. It keeps the process moving efficiently!

When you look up the best gelato shops in Turin, La Romana is sure to show up. This place knows how…read moreto do gelato right, and has a lot of seating for people to enjoy their desserts. I ordered the stracciatella and the croccante della nonna. Stracciatella is one of my favorite flavors of gelato, but I haven't found any place in NYC that makes it right. The chocolate chips are always too big or the gelato itself is too heavy. This place has THE BEST stracciatella. Super light and creamy, and the chocolate chips are light and crisp. I ordered the croccante della nonna because my server recommended it. INCREDIBLE!!! It's kind of like a salted caramel with crunchy nuts inside. Truly the best gelato I have ever had in my LIFE!

Truly, I am honestly embarrassed that I have to give yet another five-star review. It goes against…read morewhat I perceive as my critical nature. This is the place that my friend, an expat, goes to as his regular "go to". It's a bit more upscale looking than the other places in the area but that's not saying as much as it would if we were in the states, it looks may be lie the quality and taste of things. They make all their own baked stuff, seriously and while I'm not a flaky dough kind of guy it's good. They really shine though on their cappuccinos and for me their hot chocolate. As I'm writing in English, for Americans at least, keep in mind that Italian hot chocolate is nothing like our chocolate except for the fact that 1) it is dark and 2) it is somehow made from chocolate. All bets are off after that as I just have to say it is one of the most delicious things I've ever tasted that it's made of chocolate! Italian hot chocolate is more like a quasi chocolate pudding but with the flavor of a hot coco. As I happen to really like chocolate, especially the darker varieties, this is to put it mildly, heaven. The surface congeals and you need to stir it to break through to the more liquidy part underneath - well, well worth it. I am currently going through Torino's coffee shops, to taste their hot chocolate while I can.

Amazing gelato!!…read more I've been traveling for months, looking for high quality vegan gelato and finally found it. Sara was extremely kind, helping translate and letting me try multiple delicious flavors. I got Pistachio, dark chocolate, hazelnut and almond; they all rocked my world. Definitely worth a visit!

Grom was created in Turin so it is a very local and traditional taste to anyone visiting the city and wanting to do things that are native to it. I highly reccommend their GROM signature flavour, coffee, and of course, pistachio.

Everything was so good that my daughter asked us to come here every morning for breakfast to try out the different items. Excellent were also the tramezzini.

We arrived in Turin on a Sunday afternoon and everything was shut including, many cafes and…read morerestaurants. We were staying in the "San Salvario Borgo" well known for its cafes, bars and restaurants. So off we went looking for a place to grab some lunch and ended up here as it was open. On Sundays they serve a brunch only and some desserts and cup cakes. As we don't speak Italian I did the "manjare" and she said brunch and I said yes :-) About 15 mins later our plates arrived and it was packed with goodies like scrambled eggs with truffle, bacon, a beautiful salad with some fresh grapefruit and passion fruit, salmon cake and delicious homemade bread. After we polished this fabulous plate off, we were told we could have cup cake or cheesecake of pancake for dolce :-))) I was way to full to consider anything else. She ended up giving us a brioche to take home and charged us less :-)) Everything here was made in the shop and run by two ladies that were very friendly and understanding. The total bill was €16 per person including water and coffee. The coffee was great and well made. A great find and I would happily come here any day. They have a few outdoor seats as well. Nice food and great service :-))

Shop is small with one employee. However, I still recommend that you stop by to pick up a small bit of gourmet chocolate, even if you aren't buying an entire cake. They will allow you to sample a piece and it is heavenly! Worth the price and even a little LESS expensive than some of the other chocolate retailers in the area [ex: at a specific expensive local cafe]
