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.

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.

This little shop has fresh pressed juices and smoothies from an assortment of fruits and veggies…read more The shop is clean, the staff are quite friendly, and there is plenty of outdoor covered seating. They also serve coffee to locals who stop in for a quick macchiato. They are tourist friendly, with staff who make an effort to explain options in English. The juices are amazing and made to order with options for vegans available. I personally really enjoyed the Profumato, Mmm ginger! I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is looking for something delicious, refreshing and healthy to drink.

I've visited L'Orto in Turin about 2 months ago, everything was outstanding, really impressive…read more Very original dishes. It is not cheap since it is a restaurant with a chef and not a fast food. Ho visitato l'orto a Torino circa 2 mesi fa, tutto era esageratamente buono, impressionante. Piatti molto originali. Non è economico ma parliamo di un vero ristorante con chef, non un fast food.

This was our first meal in Turin. My wife and I had just finished coming back from the city square…read morebut we were too hungry to wait for dinner later in the evening. We were so jet-lagged, all we wanted to do was eat something light and go to sleep. We looked for restaurants not too far from us and we thought that Bariole was interesting. The restaurant was relatively small inside but had outdoor seating. When we arrived the server told us that he cannot seat us inside without a reservation but outside seating was available. Since it wasn't too cold, we thought a quick 30 minute dinner should be fine. I ordered the speck crepe with figs, cheese and spinach while my wife ordered the salmon crepe with creme fraiche and potatoes. There is also an option to add a fried egg or additional meats for one euro. The dishes were surprisingly good. I've never had savory crepes before so this was shockingly good. The figs were good counterbalance to the saltiness if the speck. The salmon my wife ordered as very fresh but wasn't a fan of the potatoes. We also ordered some local reds and they were absolutely delicious. Both wines were from Asti. Overall I think this is a great place for a quick meal. It is different from normal Piedmont food but the quality of the food was good and had great vibes

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!
