Get here early as, our name was placed on the waiting list at 1:30, we were seated at 2:30. It is a super popular dining location with the local crowd. They offer a fixed price three course meal for lunch and dinner. The pricing has 3 tiers for lunch 10, 15 and 20 €. All three levels offer three options for main course vegetarian, fish, or a meat. The menu changes daily given what fresh produce is sourced that day. Todays 1st course, Broccali cream puree with crostini and freshly grated parmigiano. 2nd course, (15€ meat option) Seared pork medallions, with 1/2 ball of fresh mozzarella over bed of asparagus. 3rd course, fresh fruit bowl (or chocolate cake over vanilla cream). Note: No extra (Coperto) charge for, Table bread, choice of red or white wine, sparkling and still waters, and espresso. Our group has been in Milan for 4 days, this meal was the best meal so far, absolutely delicious meal!!! The staff are all young, hip and energetic. We all felt if we were staying in Torino we would dine here again and again! The only catch to having such exellent food is everyone else recognizes the value, be prepared for a wait....

This restaurant is so good that we went for dinner and returned the next day for lunch…read more We are English-speaking and unfortunately do not speak much Italian. This is not a tourist restaurant. The staff was gracious and helped us through our meal. Everything is made in-house and there is no set menu. The menu is set by the freshest ingredients possible. Each person chooses a "line" for 2-3 courses, depending on what you would like to spend. For dinner, I chose the vegetarian line and had a roasted portobello mushroom with fontina and cherries. The flavors were fantastic and unexpected. For my second course, I had roasted vegetable ravioli. Also excellent. My husband had a sea bass ceviche with house-made ricotta (best dish of the entire meal) and a poached fish dish with spinach. The total, including two glasses of wine and sparkling water, was 42 euros. Lunch was a whole different affair. We stood in line for the 12:30 opening and were treated to a multi-course meal. They had either a seafood or a meat line, and we both had the seafood. They also had a caprese salad on offer. Don't make our mistake, unless you want a lot of food--choose either the fish/meat or the salad. Both are more than enough on their own. The amuse-bouche was a piece of asiago with blueberry sauce and sea kelp. The main was pasta (I forget what type, house-made, similar to rigatoni) with a pomodoro seafood ragu. Incredible. Lunch includes dessert (custard with fig preserves), house-made foccacia and breads, homemade fruit juice, and espresso. All for 10 euros per person! Both meals were fantastic. You must go in with the mindset that you will eat wonderful, unexpected flavors. This is a great place for people who want great food, a great experience, and again, no menu. If you like an adventure (especially if you do not speak Italian), go here.

The Niculin calice was the most delicious dish I've had since arriving in Italy. The sauce was exquisite. The noodles were prepared perfectly and the taste was transcendent.

I had an anniversary dinner at Ristorante Solferino while visiting Turin and it turned out to be…read moreone of the highlights of my trip. The location is great: right on beautiful Piazza Solferino in the historic center, very easy to reach. The restaurant itself is elegant but still feels welcoming, with a spacious main dining room and a smaller, more intimate side room. The menu has plenty of choices, with a strong focus on seasonal and local ingredients. I tried several dishes, and they were all fantastic. One dish I definitely recommend is the steak tartare with quail egg yolk, mustard, anchovies, onions, capers, and a touch of Tabasco (a great balance of flavors), which is brought to your table with the ingredient kept separate, and the assembled table-side by the waiter. The zucchini blossoms stuffed with ricotta and mint on pea cream (light and fresh), were also great, just like the tajarin alla Monferrina, a classic Piedmontese fresh pasta that was incredibly flavorful. For mains, I had the larded pork fillet with pea cream and broad bean salad, and the standout of the evening--the braised beef in Barolo wine with drops of polenta, which was rich, tender, and full of flavor. Even the bread basket was memorable, with breadsticks and a variety of different breads. Service was attentive and professional, and the wine list offers some excellent Piedmontese bottles to complement the food, plus great cocktails. Overall, it's a great spot whether you're looking for a leisurely dinner while exploring the city, a business lunch[1], or even a special occasion. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone visiting Turin. --------------------- They have an Aperitivi & Tapas section on the menu.

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.

THIS IS THE BEST RESTAURANT I'VE EVER BEEN TO…read more I studied in Torino, Italy, tried many foods there and many foods from many countries since and I still dream about Cianci's. I would go as often as I could and order anything off the menu. Usually, I couldn't even understand what I was ordering but it did not matter because everything was ridiculously good. I'd order an appetizer, pasta, entree and dessert never spent more than 30 euros. The wait times are 60 minutes plus (even on weekdays!) so get there early, but don't let the wait stop you from experiencing this amazing food.

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.
