When a colleague said that she wanted to have lunch along the Po River in Torino, I was thinking…read morealong the lines of the canal-side restaurants in Venice. What a pleasant place. First of all, the restaurant was getting ready to shut down its outdoor lunch trade for the winter and the owner opened just for us: That's what I call service! The seating was literally six inches from the river; little ducks were very attentive to make sure that nothing fell off our plates into the water. The food is regional Piedmontese which is very different from what most people think of when they think "Italian." They offer an antipasti buffet which is outstanding! The house white wine was a Spumante (a dry sparkling wine) and we left feeling no pain! The prices were very reasonable.

We tried it for both lunch and for an aperitivo dinner while staying in Torino for a week and we enjoyed both meals. It is also a wine shop where you can find lots of good wines for all prices, including the numerous locally famous Nebbiolo and Barolo wines. Seating can be outside or indoors and service is friendly.

Try a glass of the daily "Mystery wine" to sample something new and interesting, or pick out a bottle and they'll open it for you. Really remarkable salumi, with probably the best prosciutto I've ever tasted. Also, award-winning ham and mortadella, served with great plum-Barolo jam and gardinera pickles...and warm crunchy-chewy focaccia. There are lovely-looking main dishes, but you can easily make a meal for two out of one of the tagliere (boards) and a side or two. The polpetti meatballs are a good choice, with one of the better tomato sauces I've ever had. The Buffalo mozzarella with arugula and cherry tomatoes is another fresh and delicious option. A salad or side of veg is nice, too, if you have the room for it. The service is professional, friendly and snappy. The place gets loud when it gets busier as the night goes on, so come early if you are looking for a quieter experience. This is your new favorite hang-out in Torino!

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

The layout and selection of items were very similar to what we're used to back home in Chicago. We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch or perhaps an early dinner, but unfortunately, the meal was underwhelming. My husband ordered the ribs, which arrived overcooked and dry. I had the tortellini, which was just okay and only slightly warm. The waiter was friendly. Perhaps it was just an off day for the kitchen, but overall, the food didn't quite live up to the Eataly name we're familiar with.

We started with the MANTOVA PUMPKIN FLAN WITH SCALLOP AND SHRIMP RAGOUT. It was light and well flavored. The BOLOGNESE TORTELLINI WITH CREAM, HAM AND PEAS was probably my favorite. The MEZZI PACCHERI PASTA WITH CHEESE AND PEPPER CREAM AND LEMON ZEST was a close second. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauces were creamy and delicious. Because I felt as if I need some type of protein with the MEZZI paccheri pasta, we also ordered the SLICED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH AROMATIC HERBS AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR REDUCTION. Everything was so good.
