Don't miss the Torta del Palio, created in honor of the Palio d'Asti, made with almond flour, honey and drops of dark chocolate. Small cafeteria counter for sipping good coffees.

Small chocolates of all kinds, pralines, chocolate bars, tarts, marrons glacés, cakes and even ice creams for the summer, all prepared with the finest products and according to traditional recipes, enough to fill your basket and take home plenty of local treats. One of our specialties is Piedmont hazelnut chocolate. Delicious, creamy hot chocolate in winter!

The shop, in the heart of the city, prides itself on being "the best glacier on Lake Orta". It is worth mentioning that it has been awarded the qualification of artisan excellence by the Piedmont Region! It has an assortment of uncommon natural flavours, a truly artisanal production and a special respect for intolerances (gluten-free, lactose-free, etc.), with products of the highest quality. Fruit sorbets in summer, cream ice cream in winter. It's the perfect place to take a cone and go admire the lake.

On Sunday lunchtimes, for the traditional family meal, pastries from Follis can be found on the Vercellesi tables. It's been their favorite pastry shop since 1904!

Since 2008, Marchetti ice creams have been conquering Turin and Italy. And we're not at all surprised. In his stores, Alberto creates his flavours with great care, choosing top-quality ingredients and collaborating with local, responsible producers. Finally, they also organize educational workshops on gelato-making. You're bound to come across a Marchetti store as you wander around town - there are six of them... so far! Not to be missed.

In the slightly outlying district of San Salvario, this gelateria has built up a very good reputation in Turin and beyond in just a few years. And the big blackboard full of customer comments is proof of that! In summer, ask for a scoop (or several!) of mara dei boschi, a variety of strawberry, and in autumn opt for a pomegranate sorbetto instead. You won't be disappointed, all the perfumes are handcrafted and really excellent. Two other addresses in Turin: Corso de Gasperi, 57 and Piazza Carlo Emanuele II, 21.

The adventure of Pasticceria Gallina began between Turin and Naples, where Giuseppe Gallina learned the basics of the trade in the early ^20th century. The Via Vochieri establishment was opened in 1968 by his son Lorenzo and his wife Anna, accompanied by their three children, who are still here today. Since then, the company's reputation has been built on its baci - small, round chocolate cookies known here as baci di Gallina. The ingredients used are of the highest quality, for sweets to be enjoyed without moderation!

With coffee, lemon, coconut or chocolate, Rolando's soft amaretti are famous throughout Piedmont and beyond. Like soft macaroons, individually wrapped in colorful paper, amaretti remain the ideal snack to nibble on while strolling through the pretty streets of Alessandria. The almond classics are wrapped in red paper, the cocoa ones are blue, the coffee ones are brown, and so on. The recipe has remained unchanged since 1942, for a truly unbeatable taste!

This pastry shop, which will soon be celebrating its two-hundredth anniversary, with seven successive generations, is one of the city's best-loved. The list of recommended products (sweet and savory) is very long: petits choux, Tartufata with whipped cream, savory rolls stuffed with ricotta and spinach, as well as the Guinea tart, a cream cake with shavings and a dark chocolate coating. But it seems to us that starting with a little cannolo is certainly not a bad idea, as there are 14 varieties to choose from...

A real authentic patisserie where you can drink an excellent coffee and nibble on little mignardises, each more appetizing than the last. This is the strong point of the place and it will be really hard to make a choice, believe us! The place isn't very big (there's also a covered veranda terrace with a few tables, but it's pretty narrow), but it's perfect for taking a break like a true Turinese, without the groups of tourists you might find in cafés further inland.

The Zanardi patisserie owes its reputation to reginette . Since 1937, the patented recipe for this little cookie has been attracting the finest gourmets. For 23 years, Mr. Sacchi was the original cookie maker, before stepping down. Simple, almost wafer-like, reginette are made with eggs, flour, sugar, butter and a little chocolate cream. They are sold in an attractive tin, wrapped in aluminium foil. The Zanardi patisserie is also recommended for its artisanal ice creams.

This bakery in the center of Turin offers 100% natural bread, free from brewer's yeast, palm oil, preservatives, sugar and many other ingredients often used in bread-making.

The staff will be delighted to explain the process to you.

This cute patisserie doubles as a tea room, where you can sample the vegetarian delights baked here, many of which are vegan cakes.

Galup has been a Piedmontese institution since 1922! The factory is still in Pinerolo, but the store in the center of Turin is the perfect place to discover the company's delicious treats in a colorful setting. The store is attractive and, of course, Galup's original panettones are a delight to share: you just can't get enough of their inimitable melt-in-your-mouth texture. Other typical sweets (baci di dama, krumiri, chocolates...) take pride of place on the shelves. A must for the festive season... and the rest of the year too!

A small, well-run boutique-workshop. Sandro and Laura have taken over the business founded by Laura's father, Aldo Ferrando, in 1986, and offer an excellent range of delicious artisanal and traditional cookies, including a vegan range, made from carefully selected products.

Sandro and Laura have been awarded the "Maestro del gusto" label, a just reward for their fine work.

Since 1976, the Ficini family has been running this bakery, which attracts the gourmet Turinese to this street in the San Salvario district. And it's easy to see why, when you see the delicacies coming out of the ovens! It's the perfect place to pack a picnic and head to the nearby Valentino Park, to enjoy the greenery and sunshine while watching the squirrels frolic about. A word of advice: try the real grissini, especially the rye ones, but after that you won't be able to accept the industrial versions!

An incredible chocolate factory very close to all the city's points of interest, with an infinite choice of confectionery, sweets of all kinds, multiple and varied chocolates with surprising combinations of tastes: and, to tell the truth, everything is appetizing!
