Wanting more, like Mr. Twist, I returned in September '17 and had an excellent lunch: seafood salad, spaghetti with clams, and Chinotto for E28,80 in very pleasant surroundings.

The menu is hand written on a piece of paper in Italian but our server (she was fantastic) helped with whatever we could not interpret. The restaurant has a nice patio in the back which we enjoyed during our dinner. We started with a variety of Italian appetizers which were all tasty and authentic to the area. We then split a pasta with Bolognese which was very good. Entrees were hearty and full of flavor. Braised chicken in a mild vinegar sauce and braised pork with potatoes. We also had a half liter of red wine which was nice and a silly good price of 8 Euro. For desserts we had a chocolate torte and a light pana cotta. Both were yummy. As I had mentioned our server was wonderful throughout the evening and even called a taxi for us. Osteria Antiche Sere was a fun and tasty evening. Be sure to get a reservation if you decide to go.

Named after Aristarco Scannabue, the pseudonym used by Giuseppe Baretti, a 1700 poet/writer/critic…read morefrom Turin, as Scannabue is located at the intersection between Via Saluzzo and Via Baretti, this wonderful restaurant serves excellent traditional dishes that gravitate around local ingredients, in a "vintage" setting that is both charming and welcoming. In a city that offers high quality food at affordable prices, this was perhaps the dining experience I'll remember the most of my stay in Turin. The menu is curated and offers a large variety of Turin and Piemonte dishes; some are traditional by the book, and other ones are reinvented by Scannabue. I highly recommend the "Menu della tradizione/Traditional tasting menu", which offers a panoramic culinary view of what this fantastic city and region have to offer and, at €32.50 p/p[1] it's an amazing deal. Our meal started with Bruschetta w. liver patè and candied orange amuse bouche, and the traditional tasting menu featured: - Vitello Tonnato/Thinly sliced veal with tuna sauce and capers. - Cappuccino di baccala'; cured cod served with potatoes to resemble a cappuccino. - Agnolotti del Plin 3 meats: rabbit, veal, and pork; sautéed in Alpine butter. - Guancia brasata/braised beef cheek slow cooked in Barbera wine, served over potato pure'. - For dessert choice of Bunet/bonnet (traditional Piedmont chocolate pudding) or Panna cotta. I loved my meal at Scannabue, and I would certainly come back to try all the other dishes on the menu. As Scannabue is also popular among locals, reservations are strongly recommended. -------------- [1] 2 people minimum.

Words cannot describe how good that dessert was. The place is clean, charming and authentic. I want to come back to Italy just to eat here again. Oh!

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. I look forward to returning.

So when you are done and you have that bread leftover in your plate...you need to soak it up and then get to the bottom so that bread is not only soaked with the butter, wine and garlic, but there is some cheese on top as well. Pure liquid heaven. My husband ordered the branzini which is a nice white fish, comes out with the head and tail on....nothing I like to see, however, they did the whole fillet thing right there and it was very good.
