We tried it for both lunch and for an aperitivo dinner while staying in Torino for a week and we enjoyed both meals.

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!

We waited just 15 minute and he felt bad that he even gave us each a glass of wine! Now on to the food. This place serves southern style Italian seafood. We started with the mix of fritto misto which was calamari, shrimp, and anchovies. It was so lightly fried but so crunchy and the flavor of the seafood really came through. Delicious! Our server also recommended 2 dishes and I simply cannot remember the name of. One was a tuna type fish that was a whole filet.. Its a bit oilier for my liking but my husband raved about it. My white fish was cooked with bread crumbs and tomatoes. It was light. Loved it! This is a local joint. Our taxi driver knew about it and said it was a local favorite. It's a great restaurant kind of on the homey side with really nice people serving really good food. Thumbs up!

We ordered the spaghetti carbonara and the steak and it was life changing. Each dish was plenty for one, and just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite we ordered the tiramisu. 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! And on top of all the good food, they have an extensive wine list with extremely reasonable prices.

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 "€".

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.

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.

Juno and Jupiter be praised that he indeed is. I don't remember what we ate, but I do remember us being utterly floored by how good it was. So much so that in a four day stay, we came for our evening eats TWICE. The owner is one of those happy, lucky few who truly loves what he does for a living (and extremely good as well) and it is so evident in the food he serves. Heed the words of the first reviewer Crystal. Personally, I think it's the best food north of Napoli and that includes that wonderful arena of gluttony, Bologna. If you goto Torino, go here. If only all of life were that simple.

We had the fried fish mixed plate, the house-made ravioli with shrimp, the octopus with potato and it was all so good. As foodie tourists, my husband and I have travelled in most of Italy's big cities (Rome, Florence, Milan, the Lake District) sampling the best restaurants we could find on TripAdvisor, Yelp and the Michelin guide. I can say with certainty that this one, A6 Sciamadda is my number one favorite. Mauro, the chef and owner, delights guests with the flavors of his hometown near the sea. And the wonderful host (I'm sorry I can't spell his name) shares the story of the dish as well as the wine he recommends. This is not simply a meal. It is an experience. You may enter hungry, but you will leave with the happy glow of having spent an hour with a new friend. As travelers, we all know how it is. You search reviews. You look at maps. Over and over, we ask ourselves the same question: Will this be worth it? Worth our time, our money and our travel energy spent to get there. After a quick day-trip to Turin during our Milan vacation, I can promise you that it is totally worth it. In fact, if you begin by eating at A6 Schimada, you may find that, like me and my husband, you change your travel plans and book your next visit to stay here instead.
