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

Seating can be outside or indoors and service is friendly.

Try a glass of the daily "Mystery wine" to sample something new and interesting, or pick out a bottle and they'll open it for you. Really remarkable salumi, with probably the best prosciutto I've ever tasted. Also, award-winning ham and mortadella, served with great plum-Barolo jam and gardinera pickles...and warm crunchy-chewy focaccia. There are lovely-looking main dishes, but you can easily make a meal for two out of one of the tagliere (boards) and a side or two. The polpetti meatballs are a good choice, with one of the better tomato sauces I've ever had. The Buffalo mozzarella with arugula and cherry tomatoes is another fresh and delicious option. A salad or side of veg is nice, too, if you have the room for it. The service is professional, friendly and snappy. The place gets loud when it gets busier as the night goes on, so come early if you are looking for a quieter experience. This is your new favorite hang-out in Torino!

We waited just 15 minute and he felt bad that he even gave us each a glass of wine! Now on to the food. This place serves southern style Italian seafood. We started with the mix of fritto misto which was calamari, shrimp, and anchovies. It was so lightly fried but so crunchy and the flavor of the seafood really came through. Delicious! Our server also recommended 2 dishes and I simply cannot remember the name of. One was a tuna type fish that was a whole filet.. Its a bit oilier for my liking but my husband raved about it. My white fish was cooked with bread crumbs and tomatoes. It was light. Loved it! This is a local joint. Our taxi driver knew about it and said it was a local favorite. It's a great restaurant kind of on the homey side with really nice people serving really good food. Thumbs up!

We ordered the spaghetti carbonara and the steak and it was life changing. Each dish was plenty for one, and just when we thought we couldn't eat another bite we ordered the tiramisu. Words cannot describe how good that dessert was. The place is clean, charming and authentic. I want to come back to Italy just to eat here again. Oh! And on top of all the good food, they have an extensive wine list with extremely reasonable prices.

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.

We had some of all those things (pastas, cheeses, anchovies, savory flan) while we were there and everything was delicious!

First of all, the restaurant was getting ready to shut down its outdoor lunch trade for the winter and the owner opened just for us: That's what I call service! The seating was literally six inches from the river; little ducks were very attentive to make sure that nothing fell off our plates into the water. The food is regional Piedmontese which is very different from what most people think of when they think "Italian." They offer an antipasti buffet which is outstanding! The house white wine was a Spumante (a dry sparkling wine) and we left feeling no pain! The prices were very reasonable.
