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.

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.

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.

We…read moreactually had plans to check out another restaurant - Le Pied de la Gargouille but that restaurant never opened and Meleze just happened to be next door. We were a bit cautious walking in since there were a couple of little kids running all over but I'm so glad we gave this place a shot. Restaurant is small and cozy....our server was pretty friendly and attentive even though he had a full house to take care. Folks talk about the smaller portions in Europe but I'm not sure where that is because portions were huge everywhere we went and Meleze was no exception. To start, I ordered the hot goat cheese salad (10 Euros) and my husband had the terrine w/ salad (7 Euros). Both were pretty good size portions...the goat cheese salad came with salami, prosciutto, ham, greens and cornichons. The terrine was the same except instead of goat cheese, there was a terrine...healthy sizes also...American-sized portions. ;) I was getting mighty full after the appetizer but silly us ordered entrees - Pork chop medallions of Haute-Alps cooked in ceps and bacon sauce, then toasted with cheese of mountains. Rich, creamy and decadent...loved it. My husband ordered a Tartiflette du Meleze which was maybe like a French mac n cheese, but w/ potatoes and a ton ton ton of cheese. All of the food was super delicious and was perfect for the cool night. I can enjoy fancy restaurants but my favorite spots are comfort food spots and I'm gonna call it..one of my favorite restaurants in France.

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.

After walking around the town for a while and comparing menus, we settled on Pizzeria La Pignatta. The inside of the restaurant is pretty charming with a ton of wood decorations on the inside. We came during prime lunch time on a day when all skiers were basically unable to hit the slopes, so the restaurant was busy and the service was incredibly slow. That being said, the food was excellent. We ordered olive oil with our bread, and were handed a bottle of olive oil that had been infused with some peppers and herbs. It was absolutely delicious. As a New Yorker - and thereby a pizza lover - I decided on a pizza that strayed from the normal tomato base. We ordered the Montagnarde, wich had cream, cheese, reblochon, ham, fresh mushrooms, and egg. I must say this was a delight. If you have the guts to put an egg in the middle of my pizza and it tastes good, you are good in my book. The pizza definitely hit the spot. No comparison to New York style pizza, but I would definitely suggest it. We also ordered the fondue served with a charcuterie board. The fondue was amazing and incredibly tasty. I was surprised by how something so simple - melted cheese - can be so delicious. The charcuterie board cost extra, but it was worth it. I always love trying out regional charcuterie. We walked back out into the blizzard with smiles on our faces.

Each course was amazing, some of the tastiest food either of us had ever eaten. The ragu sauce was cooked slowly to release amazing flavors, while the ravioli was delicately flavored with sage. And the tiramisu was beautifully light while the panna cotta had sweetness beautifully balanced by a bitter sauce. But the service and kindness Diego and Julia showed made the whole experience magical! Whenever we hesitated choosing a course, Diego just brought us a small portion of each option. Even when the kitchen ran out of tiramisu, Julia found a sample and brought it out to us (adding to our dessert sampler). Somehow the bill came to a ridiculously low amount, and then Diego tried to offer us a discount (along with limoncello). We definitely declined the discount and eagerly accepted the limoncello. Diego and Julia, a sincere thank you for the experience!
