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

And the proprietor visited our table and made recommendations and friendly conversation. It turns out our waitress was his daughter (also extremely nice).

We opened the door and it was a cute dining set in front of us and then some stairs that led down to the restaurant. As soon as we walked down we felt we were in a different world. Restaurant looks to be within a cave with a long bookcase in the back. I love books! Bar was super pretty and they also had an area for the band that was playing some great music. They had a good selection but you do have to use google photo/translate to see the menu in English. The customer service was amazing and they tried to help anyway they could! They were also pretty quick. Food was delicious! We got a board, pasta and duck. I would go again!

If you're anywhere near Barolo town in Italy and love great wine, La Vite Turchese is an absolute…read moremust. This was hands-down one of the most memorable wine tastings we've had in Piedmont. The Barolo tasting was thoughtfully curated, showcasing the depth, elegance, and diversity of the region--from structured, age-worthy expressions to more approachable, aromatic pours. Each wine was introduced with genuine passion and deep knowledge, not in a rehearsed way, but with the warmth of people who truly live and breathe Barolo. We learned so much about terroir, producers, and vintages without it ever feeling overwhelming. The charcuterie board was the perfect companion: beautifully presented, featuring high-quality local cured meats, cheeses, and accompaniments that elevated each glass. Nothing felt generic--every bite was intentional and paired beautifully with the wines. What really sets La Vite Turchese apart is the atmosphere. Tucked right in the heart of Barolo town, it feels intimate, relaxed, and authentic--exactly what you hope for in a wine experience here. The service was welcoming, attentive, and never rushed, making us feel like guests rather than customers.

Wow, great experience…read more Stefano listened to what type of experiance we were looking for, and pulled 4 wines that lead us on a journey to explain and discover the region. He had a great selection of regional wines, with prices that were very non-tourist. He insisted his wife select a cheese to compliment the wine, great decision. His shop hasn't been there very long, but what a contrast to the mass tourist stuff we got at the wine museum. Go find this place. If you are into wine, it is worth it.
