The Torino Airport is kind of a dinky airport. It's a bit outdated, but has adequate shops and…read morerestaurants to not spend too much time in. Anyway, coming upstairs to the orange Aperol colored Piemonte lounge, there was a line out the door. The wait wasn't too bad and I suppose it's better to let people know it's full than try to squeeze in people instead. Most of the reviews were underwhelming. I am here at 7pm writing this review and it's getting cleared up now. I'm giving it 4 because the buffet was better than I thought. Maybe it's my first time in Italy and in general this country has good produce and ingredients. But for me, some items surpasses the typical crappy, salty airport food. Grilled eggplant with basil and olive oil, mozzarella, cakes and vegetable dishes were fresh, tasty and delicious. Bare in mind, after 20hrs of travel and still going, I'm just happy to see fresh veggies. My Aperol spritz, great! It's not a fancy lounge, but it hits the spot for my priority pass usage. TL;DR - unexpectedly decent drink and food selection. Don't bother coming up if you want just want to sit or work.

First time in Piedmonte lounge in Turin airport…read more The lounge is accessible for those travelling business class. When I first arrived, it was empty. Plenty of seating, a wide variety of European newspapers, food and a full bar service await. It definitely beats No.1 lounge in Gatwick which is crazy busy and full of kids. I get the impression that the Piedmonte lounge is only for those with Business class tickets or relevant level airline loyalty cards, not pay and enter like Gatwick. Sounds snobbish but if you want peace, quiet and not to have kids running around then this is the place to come before your flight. Clean, tidy and great service then if I'm back here (hopefully business class!) then I'd happily hang out here pre-flight.

I wouldn't really recommend it for dinner, but for a nice simple and quick lunch, I would come here. Appetivo time is okay; but it can get loud and have a little bit of a weird crowd later on in the night...by weird I mean the Italian hipster crowd.

Spent a few days in my city, Turin. Randomly decided to stop by Bicyclette and just loved it! This…read morebar is super cozy, the vibe is amazing. As the name suggests the theme is bicycle, it makes it cute and original. It stays a typical italian bar that you'd hardly find in the US, but it has something more than just being typical. Honestly I'd see that bar fitting just perfect in the East Village or Williamsburg, it would rock there! Don't miss it if you visit Turin! Ottimo lavoro ragazzi, abbiamo passato una bella serata da Bicyclette, ottimi cocktail, personale gentilissimo. Ci ritornerò sicuramente.
