IL QUADRILATERO(THE QUADRILATERAL)This is where the "in"places are.Thousands of youngsters wander in and out of the places around here every evening. Everyone has his favourites. High on the list:in piazza Emanuele Filiberto (E/4) il Pastis (it's very cosy), il FreeVolo (with its French charm), Mezzaluna bio bar (for its vegetarian cuisine), l'Arancia di Mezzanotte (open till late), Pautasso (for its Piedmontese cuisine), il Ristoro dei commercianti (for its seafood) la Gelateria Mondello (for its Sicilian ice-cream) il Tube and the Shore (for their trendy atmosphere), il Ritual Cafè (for its colourful atmosphere); in via Sant'Agostino (E/4) i Tre Galli (for its wine list), Casa Martin (because it's so smart), l'Hafa Café (colourful, warm and arabesque), in via Bellezia (E/4) lo Zonk (for their gigantic aperitifs), Las Rosas (good for socialising) l'Otium & Siberiaki (for Siberian dishes) il BourreauBourrè (for its fantastic cocktails); in via delle Orfane (E/3) il Seiperotto (for its traditional and creative menu), in via della Basilica (F/4) il Caffè della Basilica (because it's cosy); in vicolo della Consolata (E/3) la Tisaneria (for a quit evening); in via delle Orfane, La Taverna 900 (for its offers on Thursday nights), Siamo Fritti (for fried take away), il Super Sushi (for a fresh Japanese dish) and many others. Trust your gut feeling, take a look aroundand then stop where you most feel inspired. The Quadrilateral has to be tried out at lunchtime too (together with a tour of Porta Palazzo), as the prices are lower. |
AL BICERINTables, wooden panels, mirrors and a counter dating back to 19th century!! And to warm your heart and stomach, there's... the Bicerin, a mixture of express coffee and hot chocolate, a drop of milk, a mountain of whipped cream,a dusting of cacao, served with biscuits. Make a date with 19th century Turin! Piazza della Consolata, 5Piazza della Consolata, 5 |

THE FARMERS MARKETOn the left of the "clock" pavilion and under a small and cool portico, is a little piece of heaven where time seems to stand still. Farmers come here to sell their home grown goods, offer quality food and with no hurry let you try and enjoy it. Next to them, others sell salami, cheeses, honey and livestock. |
TRE GALLINEThis is one of the city's oldest restaurants offering the same traditional Piedmontese recipes since 1575... Try a classic bollito, il fritto misto, il petto d'oca affumicata or the legendary finanziera... The prices are those of a renowned restaurant.Via G. Bellezia, 37 |
BORGO DORAEven in the heart of the Balôn there are some places where tyou can spend a cosy intimate evening.Via Borgo Dora |
PETER DOLCIUMIYou can easily meet Piemontese grandparents willing to buy gianduiotti chocolates for their grandchildren. The furniture is all 19th century.Piazza Emanuele Filiberto 11/A |
DAMARCOThe best value for money in wines.Piazza della Repubblica |
VINI RANZINIAn authentic "piola" (joint) in the very centre of the city. You'll find delicious rosetta rolls filled with anchovies made with garlic, parsley and oil, roasted peppers, veal with tuna and mayonnaise sauce, hard boiled eggs...So,you don't need a fast food restaurant to have lunch cheaply. Really unique andwell worth a visit.Via Porta palatina, 9/g |
