Trattoria Bar Coco's [1] is exactly what you hope to find when searching for authentic, no-frill Piemontese cuisine in Turin. Conveniently located near Piazza Madama Cristina, this charming trattoria delivers on all fronts: exceptional regional dishes, wallet-friendly prices, and that warm, rustic atmosphere that makes you feel like a local. Wooden tables, chairs all different, old postcards on the walls alongside a poster of the Grande Torino, and paper placemats featuring Tex comics [2]. Coco's has been around since 1973 and it shows.
After multiple visits, I can confidently say every dish has been outstanding and consistently high quality. The kitchen clearly takes pride in their craft. The Tris Piemontese is a perfect introduction to the region's flavors--featuring peppers with anchovies "al verde," primo sale cheese paired with orange jam, and their signature rabbit prepared tuna-style. The Ravioles della Val Variata al Tomino di Melle con Panna e Noce Moscata, the Risotto con Asparagi e Crescenza, and Gnocchi al Castelmagno all use simple ingredients, when treated with care and passion.
The manu changes often, so come often and try something different every time.
Open 12:00 PM to 2:30 PM for lunch service; no reservations. Arrive early as this place is popular with the locals. Open for dinner on Friday and Saturday; reservations recommended.
