The best restaurants Piedmont

In the heart of the Amici del Fiume sports club, with its feet in the river, this restaurant is one of the neighborhood's great addresses, not far from the busy tourist life of central Turin, but just enough to enjoy a dolce vita that's been skilfully nurtured. Simple, tasty dishes - the kind you'd eat at your grandmother's house, say the founders. In summer, you can enjoy the terrace with a good beer and delicious nibbles. And the service is extra, which doesn't spoil anything!

This Ligurian osteria opened in 2019, serving classics from neighboring Genoa such as trofie with pesto, but also succulent seafood dishes like these paccheri with tomato octopus ragout topped with a creamy burrata! A surprising combination, but the result is very convincing! All the dishes are cooked with the same care, in a short and controlled menu, with just the right amount on the plate. Friendly, attentive service. A faultless performance.

At this price, it's easy to see why the place is packed every day at lunchtime! 11 € for a pasta dish, meat or fish with a side of vegetables, and very pleasant service, fast without being sloppy, that's rare enough to mention. You'll taste good Sardinian cuisine here, which sometimes veers a little towards Sicily... A pleasant surprise, then, in this lively and busy district, since the restaurant is located just opposite the San Domenico church, near Porta Palatina and the large Porta Palazzo market.

Edit Porto Urbano is located in the traditional area of Turin's movida: the murazzi. This festive restaurant-bar occupies the former Devalle warehouses, boathouses on the west bank of the River Po. Its four arches offer indoor and outdoor spaces perfect for partying, with panoramic views of the Turin hillside opposite. Here, you can enjoy tasty dishes or nibble tapas with excellent beers, to the accompaniment of live music. Ideal in summer for relaxing by the river.

Opened in 2023, M**BUN Galileo Ferraris is located close to the Inalpi Arena and Stadio Olimpico, with a café service. The brand offers visitors the chance to discover traditional, homemade dishes. The original spirit of the Scaglia farm is present: recipes and menus use products from short, high-quality supply chains. The café service, Bar Bun, offers fresh croissants and brioches every day, with homemade creams and local products.

In the San Salvario district, not far from Valentino Park, this small, friendly restaurant opened in September 2023, offering carefully prepared dishes served in a relaxed atmosphere. The dishes are inspired by Piedmontese tradition, but with a highly original twist. The result of this new cuisine: tasty, light dishes, accompanied by a well-composed wine list and warm, helpful service and advice. A welcome new address in this rapidly changing district.

Taken over in 2017 by architect Simona Vlaic and completely refurbished and redecorated, Turin's oldest inn, near Porta Palazzo in one of the city's liveliest districts, now boasts a highly acclaimed restaurant. Here you can enjoy dishes created by chef Giulio Carlo Ferrero, who, while respecting Piedmont's gastronomic traditions, injects a modern energy. Discover and savorvitello tonnato,plin ai tre arrosti, bagna caôda, bônet and the mythical Gran bollito misto, treasures of the region's culinary heritage.

Just a stone's throw from the Parco del Valentino and not far from the Porta Nuova train station, right in the heart of San Salvario, this excellent restaurant lets you recharge your batteries with traditional southern Italian dishes, beautifully prepared with fresh, seasonal ingredients. The warmth of the South is reflected in the chillies used (the famous rosso picante!), the checkered tablecloths, the friendly service, and the products from Calabria, Sicily and Puglia on sale here if you want to take home a few souvenirs of your fine meal. A perfect place.

Be warned: you're entering a totally rock'n'roll atmosphere here, and it's absolutely certain that you've never had an experience like this before! Rock Burger takes the art of the burger to the pinnacle, and has won multiple awards (second best burger in Europe, and best burger in Italy again in 2023). High-quality, succulent Piedmontese meats and artisan bread combine to create spectacular, delicious burgers with evocative names. Try the famous AC/DC with black bread or the Rammstein... Extraordinary!

Modern and elegant restaurant located in the center of Turin that serves great food inspired by the classic Piedmontese tradition, known for example for its vitello tonnato (veal in tuna sauce) and ravioli del plin al sugo d'arrosto (pasta stuffed with roast juice sauce). Superb regional wine list and a selection of vermouths, including one in cask (unique in Italy!). Excellent value for money. The restaurant pays homage to the great Baroque architect Guarino Guarini, author of the Chapel of the Holy Shroud, among other things.

One of Turin's finest pizzerias, located just a few meters behind the Gran Madre di Dio church. Neapolitan pizzas baked in the oven have that unmistakable taste, now a Unesco World Heritage Site. What quality! Not surprising, you might say, when you know that the pizzaiolo is Roberto Grivet, master instructor and multiple award-winner for the excellence of his light, crunchy dough made with organic flour. You can also take away... Portions are copious, because pizza (especially this one) can be eaten without hunger!

Don't be put off by the exterior, which doesn't look like much, because this is a real Piedmontese trattoria, and a chic version at that. The prices are a little higher than elsewhere but they are largely justified as the dishes are delicate, refined and presented as in a luxury restaurant. The products worked in the plate are of a very great quality. What more can we say? It is beautiful, it is good, and the service is warm and benevolent! Everything is perfect! A great success!

This is a must-visit restaurant-pizzeria, just a stone's throw from the castle. Apart from the friendly welcome and service, and the quality of the food, it's the splendid medieval setting that really catches the eye. The restaurant's painted wooden ceiling is prodigiously beautiful and rare! Frankly, you'd spend the whole meal with your head in the air, and come away with a stiff neck... But fortunately, what's on the plate brings us back to order: it's beautifully presented, but without fuss, and above all, it's very good!

In the heart of San Salvario, located in the Lombroso Cultural Center, this social restaurant supports the integration or reintegration of people made vulnerable by life. In a cheerful, colorful, bright setting, with a huge terrace on the upper floor of the inner courtyard, you can enjoy refined, original cuisine, akin to bistronomy. All meats are slow-cooked, the presentation is sophisticated, and the staff are extremely friendly. Whatever you choose, you can't go wrong: it's all absolutely delicious!
