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

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!

The layout and selection of items were very similar to what we're used to back home in Chicago. We stopped in for a late afternoon lunch or perhaps an early dinner, but unfortunately, the meal was underwhelming. My husband ordered the ribs, which arrived overcooked and dry. I had the tortellini, which was just okay and only slightly warm. The waiter was friendly. Perhaps it was just an off day for the kitchen, but overall, the food didn't quite live up to the Eataly name we're familiar with.

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.

The founder had the brilliant idea to start a chain of supermarkets offering only the best products from all Italian regions (from Piedmont's hazelnuts to Sicilian cactus fruit jams). The quality is the focus and, that's the whole point of Eataly. At Eataly you can also have lunch or dine, and most of the dishes are prepared with top quality ingredients from their selection. It is quite a new experience to have your food inside a supermarket. I was not so impressed by the food they prepare, it's a bit rushed, and simple but after all Eataly is not a restaurant, so fair enough. I'd give 3 stars to the food served at the table and 7 stars to Eataly's concept. That makes a total of 5 stars.

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.
