It's so cute. Old, quaint & iconically Italian. I ordered the iconic Bicerin--espresso, rich chocolate, and fresh cream layered in a small glass--and the first sip was pure deliciousness Warm, indulgent, and perfectly balanced. Paired with complimentary simple traditional biscuits, it was perfection. I loved it, not my waist though. Service is calm and understated, letting the history and quality speak for themselves. Al Bicerin isn't just a café stop--it's a pause in your day and a true taste of Turin. Don't miss

The cafe is historical in one of the city main piazzas and had indoor and outdoor seating that is well shaded. Service was very friendly and professional. It was a great experience and felt like stepping back in time. The only reason for 4 vs 5 stars is that I think they could work a little on the upkeep and overall feel of the cafe that while it does feel historical, it also feels a little "tired".

During our stop, the staff seemed comprised of older men. While the staff out front seemed friendly, smiling as we passed in and out, our waiter was not at all helpful. We do speak a good amount of Italian, which turned out to be lucky as this gentleman gave no indication that he spoke English. However, he also did not try to speak much Italian. Just basically stopping by the table and waited for our order. Perhaps he assumed we would not understand him? He did however ask in Italian if I wanted my mandarin liquor warm or cold. After a long wait, he placed our drinks on the table without a word and walked away. We didn't see him again. This is the first Bicerin we tried and we were not at all wowed by it. We left with a sense of 'ok, we tried it but meh, we won't do that again'. (I did however try it again and had a much better experience elsewhere.) The value of our visit, based on quality of service and goods, would not warrant another visit to this location.

It is on a pedestrian street that is comfortably lined with bike racks, benches and other shops and restaurants. I highly reccomend this Cafe to anyone that doesn't mind sharing a table with a sleeping cat and is looking for a place to meet/eat/drink/or work. The prices are amazing and they have several extensive menus to chose from depending on your craving. Cafeteria, sweets (catering to dietary restrictions, from sugar free to vegan) both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks, and a daily lunch menu. They have such a great list of traditional piemontese drinks available that I always have a hard time choosing. I have tried the Cappuccino con Panna (about 40 percent panna which is why I love it) and the Aqua Menta. They have nice naturally lit seating indoors whether you are alone or with other people as well as seating on the second floor or outside. A great place to be inspired by a comforting warm drink and extreme raxation of the adorable cats sourrounding you.

I also remembered the name as one of the fellow Yelpers in Munich sent me a recommendation for this place just today. This place has been here since 1867 and has grand interiors like many of the old cafes around Europe do. Reminded me so much of some of the ones in Venice, Vienna, Brussels and Lisbon. I had a Bicerin which is a small glass with thick hot melted chocolate, an expresso shot, cream and meringue. Once it's all mixed together this is a match made in heaven. This drink put Turin on the map and I can see why :-)) A great place for a drink and a small feed. I would happily come back here any day :-)) Thanks for the tip Luca ;-)) Made my day :-)

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.
