When we read that "piolas" are basically the Northern Italian equivalent of "boullions" in Paris,…read morewe were sold! Both types of places generally mean a good value for your money, so I don't get why Yelp categorizes this place as "€€€" when it is more like "€". Appetizers are between €5 and €7, mains are around €8, desserts €4, 1/2 liter of wine €6. We had some of all those things (pastas, cheeses, anchovies, savory flan) while we were there and everything was delicious! It is a bit chaotic and busy, but we would go back again if we are ever in Turin.

Wow. My little Torino has changed since I left it. Now, there is a bustling outdoor dining scene…read more And, no place was as packed and pazzo as Cianci Piola. Thankfully, our friend made us reservations because there was a line 30 meters long of young people waiting to eat here. So, outside is packed, inside is crazy and even across the street the park is being used as part of the al fresco experience. But, why? Is the food so amazing? I didn't think it was anything mind-blowing. They serve basic food. Rustic, authentic, filling. Lots of potato dishes were on our radar. Gnocchi, roasted potatoes, and other classics. And, the prices were really reasonable for such a popular spot. After two weeks of scoping out the Michelin spots in Italia it was good to get back to some basics.

We found this gem on our drive along the shore of Lake Como on the way to Bellagio. It was actually…read moremy favorite meal of the entire trip to Como! It's definitely a local spot. It wasn't very busy and everyone there was Italian. The waitress didn't speak English and there was no English menu. Our meal was delightful. My husband and I each had a pasta dish. Both were delicious, simple, homestyle italian cooking with very fresh ingredients. It was the perfect first lunch on our vacation. The atmosphere is so relaxing. There is an outdoor terrace with a partial view on the lake and no one else is around because it is not located in a touristy area. Prices were excellent. I wish we could have eaten there again before we left. I definitely recommend it for those who are looking for great authentic casual Italian food. Yum!!

He and his sous chefs Jacob and Michael are true professionals. Lucca was able to adapt to our kitchen without missing a beat. For the cooking class, he taught us how to prepare: fresh pesto, handmade pasta (tagliatelle), branzzino, calamari, bruschetta, mussels and clams, and a beautiful chocolate cake. For the private dinner, he prepared: smoked tuna, octopus salad, seared fish and tiramisu. We also ate at their restaurant which was homely and very local. The menu is not in English, a good sign! Highly recommend eating at their restaurant at the very least!

I depend on Yelp reviews to help me make a better decision. I realize there were only eight and…read moresome from a long time ago, Sadly, I found the food to be very disappointing. Perhaps it was just the kind of food and other people would like it. We had the vegetable salad, which was apparently grilled vegetables in a mayonnaise base. It reminded me of egg salad. We had the mushroom risotto, which was actually pretty good, but I had it a few nights earlier, at another restaurant where I thought it was exceptional. Finally, we had the braised beef in a Barolo wine sauce. Sorry, not good at all. We had the cheese tray, which was delightful. We had the best bottle of wine I've ever had. The service was fabulous. Our server was so kind and had everything split for us. I really wanted to like the food and maybe it was just a bad night. I thought the ambience in the front of the restaurant was more Italian authentic. The back was a little more eclectic but still nice. My favorite part was a bottle of wine that our server recommended and the complementary appetizer they gave us. The cheese selection was great. If I lived in the area, I would definitely come back and try them again because I think they just had a bad night.
