The first floor of an elegant town house in the center of Turin makes a fitting location for this sophisticated restaurant. You might try such specialties as vitello tonnato alla nostra maniera (roast veal with a light tuna sauce) or code di scampi con costolette di coniglio su crema di scalogno (shrimp and rabbit in a scallion sauce). For the especially hungry gourmet there's the menu del Vintage, a 13-course feast that covers the full range of the restaurant's cuisine. There's an excellent wine list, with regional, national, and international vintages well represented.

Low quality food for Piedmont. I ate two standard dishes, Tajarin or small pasta dish, and a raw meat (Carne Cruda) side dish with a half bottle of nebbiolo and while I did have white truffles on the small pasta dish, his bill for E180 for lunch for one person with two small dishes of low quality was extraordinary to say the least. The restaurant was in a lovely room but the food quality and the stupid prices would keep me from returning. I think he saw an opportunity to roll me and did so very well indeed. Rolled in Torino.
My wife and I were here this trip for just 7 days and ate better Tajarin and Carne Cruda all over Piedmont for less than E40 with white truffels on the Tajarin and ten times better quality too.
Thanks but last Vintage stop for me.
