Gourmet products local specialties and wines Turin

Eating and shopping is the winning concept of the culinary chain, which opened its first store in Turin, in the former Carpano vermouth factory. Truffles, chocolate, barolo, oil, wine, bread... the best of regional gourmet products, often in season, can be found here on more than 11,000^m2. You can taste tasty menus on the spot, without forgetting to visit the wine cellar - with more than 35,000 bottles, it is the largest in the city - and the museum upstairs. Workshops, seminars and activities are also organized.

Rather impressive, this shopping center, inaugurated in 2002 in Lingotto, on the site of the former Fiat factory. The rehabilitation of the first car models' fitting track gives the architectural complex a great originality. The famous elliptical ramp is now lined with shop windows, dozens of stores and services, multiple restaurants (lunches and dinners), movie theaters and a parking lot with over 4,000 spaces! Even if you don't plan on shopping, a visit is a must!

Porta Palazzo is one of the oldest markets in Europe, as you can hear the merchants' voices in the streets since 1825. In the 1980s, Arab, Chinese and African immigration brought an exotic touch to traditional stalls. Thus, alongside the sellers of fruit, vegetables, meat and fish, merchants of spices, fabrics and cheap clothes gradually set up shop, but not without charm. A stroll is highly recommended, just to contemplate the cheeses of the Piedmontese Alps, the butcher's and fishmonger's halls.

Grom's gelato is made using only fresh, natural ingredients, sourced directly from producers. Founded in 2003 by Guido Martinetti and Federico Grom, the company was an instant success, opening stores all over Italy and abroad, in Paris for example. In Turin, there are three gelaterias in the city center. The range changes with the seasons, but in winter the thick, creamy hot chocolates, with or without panna, are extraordinary!

A historic Turin patisserie, opened in the early ^20th century by pastry chef Gustavo Pfatsich, who brought his love of gourmet pastry-making with him from the mountains. Housed in a superb Liberty building, under the arcades, it's a veritable kingdom of gourmet delights. Try the cream spreads and the Fenice cake with meringue and fruit. People come from far and wide to try diamanti arriba, filled chocolates in the shape of precious stones, and marrons glacés, some of the best in town. And at the end of 2024, the patisserie will open a museum dedicated to chocolate!

At Gobino, chocolate isn't just a quality treat, it's a sensory experience where every bite represents hours of work and research. Excellence begins with the raw materials: cocoa, selected from the finest vintages, hazelnuts, essential to the famous gianduiotto, typical of the Turin tradition, and the best flavours to make each chocolate a unique piece. Add to this the trendy design, and the packaging that would be worthy of being displayed in a museum for its elegant simplicity.

Established in 1880, Gertosio is a historic pasticceria in the center of Turin. Here, you can stock up on quality spreads - a pure delight made with cocoa and Piedmont hazelnuts, guaranteed palm-oil free - and, of course, exceptional homemade chocolates, including traditional Turin gianduiotti in their golden wrappers (there's even a giant version for aficionados!) and dark chocolate bars with whole hazelnuts that are more than appetizing! The perfect place to stock up...

A pastry shop renowned for its excellent chocolate since 1915, it is one of the Piedmont capital's institutions. Try all the wonderful specialties of Turin's great chocolate-making tradition, especially the alpini, chocolates filled with liqueur, and, of course, the famous hazelnut giandujotti. All treats are made from cocoa beans roasted right here in the nearly 1,000^m2 laboratory. Everything is absolutely delicious, whatever you choose... A benchmark!

Renowned for its many melting chocolates and marrons glacés (a marvel, arguably the best in the city!) since 1836, this is where Cavour used to order for his receptions as a minister. The glorious patisserie now has a chic little counter where you can sip a good coffee or cappuccino in the morning. From April to November, if you take a seat on the lovely terrace overlooking the Piazza San Carlo, you'll be served a number of dishes as light as they are refined, ranging from club sandwiches to smoked salmon with salad.

Quality, tradition, know-how and artisanal production... No, this isn't a fashion store, it's the cheese magician's boutique. At Borgiattino, you'll find something to make the good old French cheese platter swoon. Since 1927, the choice of products is incredible. You'll fall for caciotta, caprini, asiago... Cheeses, too, have their seasons, and every month the store puts one in the spotlight. You can taste all these good things cooked or presented with care in the restaurant.

Simply delicious! What more can be said about the products of this laboratory, which makes artisan pasta whose recipe has not changed over time? Agnolotti, raviolini, cappelletti, gnocchi: all Piedmontese specialties prepared with the freshest ingredients, from flour and eggs to fillings (meat, cheese or vegetable) and accompanied by 100% natural sauces. Enough to fill up your shopping basket before you leave - the pasta in question will last a few days!
