It is one thing to wait for good food, quite another to be ignored completely for 90 minutes. Requests for beer ignored, water, food. Don't go here unless you are not hungry and have hours to wait. They finally paid attention to us when the crowd dispersed. We did get fed just before they closed. Which was a drag for an early morning marathon runner. Bad, bad service and very mediocre food.

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

Situated on a corner, the restaurant has nice views as well as the interior decor is well done. We could also smell the tasty food smells when escorted to our table This place has traditional Italian fare but also Mediterranean influences. The prices of food and wine are very very reasonable. We had the tzatziki, simply delicious, with guacamole. Next was a very good tuna salad as well as the vegetable spaghetti that had tasty sauces(one on each side of the pasta) Ended with the pork cheek in a Barolo reduction sauce and mashed potatoes. The wine; fantastic! Ordered a 2003 Barolo but it had turned so we went with a 2010. As they say, anything in 2010 for Italian wine is great; this was true today!

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.

They had English menus and there was a couple of slight misunderstandings but it was mainly that we didn't order a lot of food so they weren't sure when we wanted specific things delivered to the table. I didn't experience anything bad here and the only reason they didn't get a 5 star is that I'm a tough grader and there is a lot of good food here. I definitely recommend eating here. We went on a Wednesday night with no reservation at about 7:30 and got a seat right away.
