Fantastic restaurant for typical Turin and Piemonte cuisine. We actually tried to come here a…read morecouple of times, as this restaurant is close to where we were staying, but the place was always full. We just didn't realize how popular this osteria is; reservations are definitely recommended. The ambiance is classic, with some modern touches; on the minimalist side. The food, however, is full of flavor. I suggest the menù degustazione/degustation meal, which allows you to pick a starter, a pasta dish, a main course, and a dessert from dishes on the menu with the symbol . At €33.50, the degustation meal is a really good deal. Our dinner started with 2 amuse-bouche, followed by a true classic of Turin cuisine: vitel tonné (cold, sliced veal with tuna sauce); which came in two sauces, modern and traditional. The steak tartare with mustard and honey sauce that was melt-in-your-mouth delicate. The pasta courses we had were homemade tajarin with a really flavorful ragù sauce, and plin agnolotti with 3 meats roasts in their own sauce, which were as rich and delicious as they sound. We also had the potato gnocchi with pea cream and Piedmont morels, which I really liked. A polenta flan with two-milk cheese and leek cream was mild and delicate. But the real surprise of the meal was the stuffed onion with sausage and "Bra duro" cheese in a red wine sauce, which was phenomenal! Phenomenal was the local stewed meat with Barbera wine and mashed potatoes. For dessert we had the thin chocolate millefoglie with mascarpone and coffee mousse, and the bonnet cocoa pudding with caramel sauce. What else can I add: this was a great dining experience, and I look forward to coming back.

So when you are done and you have that bread leftover in your plate...you need to soak it up and then get to the bottom so that bread is not only soaked with the butter, wine and garlic, but there is some cheese on top as well. Pure liquid heaven. My husband ordered the branzini which is a nice white fish, comes out with the head and tail on....nothing I like to see, however, they did the whole fillet thing right there and it was very good. We both enjoyed the meal, atmosphere was nice, not to noisy, servers were very nice. I would recommend going there for sure.

We started with the MANTOVA PUMPKIN FLAN WITH SCALLOP AND SHRIMP RAGOUT. It was light and well flavored. The BOLOGNESE TORTELLINI WITH CREAM, HAM AND PEAS was probably my favorite. The MEZZI PACCHERI PASTA WITH CHEESE AND PEPPER CREAM AND LEMON ZEST was a close second. The pasta was cooked perfectly and the sauces were creamy and delicious. Because I felt as if I need some type of protein with the MEZZI paccheri pasta, we also ordered the SLICED BEEF TENDERLOIN WITH AROMATIC HERBS AND BALSAMIC VINEGAR REDUCTION. Everything was so good. I look forward to returning.

Their traditional dishes are executed in a creative style with well balanced flavors and ingredients. We had the agnolotti and the risotto as a first course and they were both exquisite with the agnolotti made with fresh hand made pasta. Ad a second dish we had the brasato and it was just delicious. The meat was very flavorful and tender. The torta alle nocciole is the perfect dessert for a really good meal. Service is very friendly and the wine list includes several types of barolo and barbera, red wines typical of the region.

Nice outdoor and indoor seating. We nibbled some pizza dough sticks, a speciality, the "fritto di pesce", antipasto di mare, spaghetti and vongole (wow!) and the pizzas in 3 different ways: classic, al padellino, small fluffy and thick, and "sul tagliere", my favorite, thin and crunchy, like pizza romana. The toppings are top quality, I loved the speck, a savory smoky prosciutto, and the sausage was outstanding, juicy and pink in the center. The salads are served in a bread bowl, very creative! If you save room, try the zeppola, a pastry donut filled with light custard cream. We will definitely go back! grazie Paola!
