Imaginative and Delicious Gourmet Vegan Food at a Reasonable Price…read more My spouse and I now have a favorite new vegan restaurant and we wish, with all our hearts, that we could transport it to where we live. We found this gem in Turin (Torino) Italy. The name makes it sound like a place where you would get sprouts only and the like-- "Soul Kitchen." However, what we encountered was an amazing gourmet vegan restaurant. The food was so imaginative and beautiful, we were amazed. We ate three times there in two days--lunch and two dinners. Among the many dishes that are reinvented Italian fare, they do fantastic dishes with seitan and you feel as if you have entered seitan heaven. We recommend The Napoleon, for the creativity of its preparation with the slight flavor of blood oranges is beyond compare. They also have the most terrific complete onion filled with pasta (which tastes a little like risotto). The restaurant itself has a comfortable atmosphere and you can go casual or dressed up. We did not expect something so unique and satisfying. We "travel for vegan food" and have eaten in many many vegan places in Europe, Canada, Turkey, Brazil and The United States, and this is definitely in the top three if not, the top one. In addition, our server Ricardo was so welcoming, friendly, and helpful that he made the whole experience even more delightful. You must try this place if you love food or if you are vegan or if you want a joyful eating experience. It is not to be missed.

My highest reccomendation, they earned all 5 stars with exclamation!!! If you have the time this…read moreplace is not to be missed. Our party of three dropped in on a Friday, for lunch. Get here early as, our name was placed on the waiting list at 1:30, we were seated at 2:30. It is a super popular dining location with the local crowd. They offer a fixed price three course meal for lunch and dinner. The pricing has 3 tiers for lunch 10, 15 and 20 €. All three levels offer three options for main course vegetarian, fish, or a meat. The menu changes daily given what fresh produce is sourced that day. Todays 1st course, Broccali cream puree with crostini and freshly grated parmigiano. 2nd course, (15€ meat option) Seared pork medallions, with 1/2 ball of fresh mozzarella over bed of asparagus. 3rd course, fresh fruit bowl (or chocolate cake over vanilla cream). Note: No extra (Coperto) charge for, Table bread, choice of red or white wine, sparkling and still waters, and espresso. Our group has been in Milan for 4 days, this meal was the best meal so far, absolutely delicious meal!!! The staff are all young, hip and energetic. We all felt if we were staying in Torino we would dine here again and again! The only catch to having such exellent food is everyone else recognizes the value, be prepared for a wait....

This restaurant is so good that we went for dinner and returned the next day for lunch…read more We are English-speaking and unfortunately do not speak much Italian. This is not a tourist restaurant. The staff was gracious and helped us through our meal. Everything is made in-house and there is no set menu. The menu is set by the freshest ingredients possible. Each person chooses a "line" for 2-3 courses, depending on what you would like to spend. For dinner, I chose the vegetarian line and had a roasted portobello mushroom with fontina and cherries. The flavors were fantastic and unexpected. For my second course, I had roasted vegetable ravioli. Also excellent. My husband had a sea bass ceviche with house-made ricotta (best dish of the entire meal) and a poached fish dish with spinach. The total, including two glasses of wine and sparkling water, was 42 euros. Lunch was a whole different affair. We stood in line for the 12:30 opening and were treated to a multi-course meal. They had either a seafood or a meat line, and we both had the seafood. They also had a caprese salad on offer. Don't make our mistake, unless you want a lot of food--choose either the fish/meat or the salad. Both are more than enough on their own. The amuse-bouche was a piece of asiago with blueberry sauce and sea kelp. The main was pasta (I forget what type, house-made, similar to rigatoni) with a pomodoro seafood ragu. Incredible. Lunch includes dessert (custard with fig preserves), house-made foccacia and breads, homemade fruit juice, and espresso. All for 10 euros per person! Both meals were fantastic. You must go in with the mindset that you will eat wonderful, unexpected flavors. This is a great place for people who want great food, a great experience, and again, no menu. If you like an adventure (especially if you do not speak Italian), go here.

Unbelievable jewel to stumble across. Don't come here if you are a tourist looking for a fancy…read moreItalian diner. Come here if you walked around Tourin and you want a local bite to eat before you retire for the evening. The crowd is young, and the food is fresh. Pizza is excellent and atmosphere is up beat. I hesitantly ordered the roast beef rocket (arugula, rocula) thinking the beef would be mediocre. I WAS WRONG!!!! It was the best roast beef I could have wished for. Hoping this review leads unknowing to try this place.

Turet is great for a relaxed and reasonably priced meal in the center! My husband got the…read moreValdostana pizza and I got the Napoli pizza and we really liked both. The crust is a bit more substantial than you find in most restaurants here, but still not as thick as an American pizza. I really liked the crust and they also offered us spicy olive oil which I love to drizzle on my pizzas. We each got a drink and shared a bottle of water and our total with the coperto (€1 each) was €30 which I thought was about what I would expect to pay for a meal like that. Pizzas were about €7-8 for most of the options. The menu looked fairly extensive, along with the pizzas they also had pasta options and some typical Piedmontese appetizers. I'd definitely like to go back again!

We started with the tuna tartar, it was excellent. They split the dish for us and plated it so nice, such service. I had the special monkfish pasta, minced monkfish in a tasty sauce with a perfect al dante pasta, every bite was delicious. My husband had the best pizza so far, on our trip. Perfect, chewy crust. We had ice cream with coffee poured over it, nice cap on the dinner. Than they brought out limoncello on the house, perfect ending. We would go back if we had one more night. Try this popular restaurant, fun and great food.

We were blessed to be able to eat at Messaluna on a Monday, when most everything else, especially…read morevegan, is closed. We arrived a little late, but the owner was super helpful, warm, and welcoming. We had humus, a cashew-cheese pie, pasta with smoked tofu cream, a seitan-tofu smoky-spicy combination, caponata, fruit tart, and peach soy yogurt. It was all great! The flavors were wonderful, portion size generous, and a clean, simple, but attractive setting. The food is fresh, creative, and worth the money. We also appreciated the grocery selections in the rear of the restaurant. Everything you'd need to get started on a vegan/macro eating plan. We live in the NYC area, so we have a lot of choices for vegan food, but I wish we could eat at Mezzaluna every week, too, but alas! we were just visitors from the USA.

Delicious appetizers (we tried tomino al verde) and desserts too. Excellent service, very welcoming.
