LISTS OF
RECOMMENDED RESTAURANTS
Turin’s
food and wine tradition makes it one of the world’s food and drink capitals.
The art of confectionery and cheese, wines and aperitifs, chocolate and
coffee demonstrates that this fame is fully deserved.
The
following list has been compiled in order that you can make reservations
either prior to arrival in Turin or during your visit.
However, as some of these restaurants take limited numbers it is
suggested that you make your bookings early.
Credit
cards which are generally accepted in Turin are:
American Express, Diners and VISA but this should be checked with the
restaurant when making a reservation.
TYPICAL
PEIDONTESE FOOD
Agnolotti:
Throughout Piedmont the popular dish is the “agnolotto”, a kind
of ravioli in all its various forms. With
or without truffles, served with melted butter or meat sauces and filled with
spicy or delicate fillings.
Antipasti
Misti: Appetizers are present
at the beginning of every meal and go far beyond their function of whetting
the appetite. Appetizers from
Piedmont regional cooking include cured or seasoned meats (in carpione”,
with sauces or salamis”, stuffed with vegetables, omelettes with vegetables,
and salads with cold meats and vegetables; all offered in an incredible number
of combinations just waiting to be tasted.
Bolllti
Misti: Boiled meats that are
served with different sauces.
Fritto Misto: Braised meats
simmered in top quality wines, a delicious “fried medley” with meats,
vegetables, and amarettos that are coated in breadcrumbs and fried.
Bagna Caôda: At times an
appetizer, at times a second course this is a difficult dish to define, it is
a triumph of simplicity and testiness, it consists of fresh vegetables,
immersed in boiling hot sauce made of oil, garlic and anchovies.
Bonnet: The typical dessert
made of chocolate and amarettos.

TYPICAL
PIEDMONTESE WINES
Barolo:
Barolo wine is aristocratic and bold, with traces that go from roses to
violets, to tar, and at times, it strongly recalls liquorice.
Barbaresco:
Barbaresco wine is gentler, more aromatic and a spicier wine with hints of
dried peach and other fruits. It has a “softer” taste but leaves a
tantalizing “tang” of a delicate “mixture” of cinnamon, black pepper
and plums.
Dolcetto:
Dolcetto, in spite of its name, is not a sweet wine, but it is the most
popular, everyday table wine most suitable to accompany Piedmontese cuisine,
it is characterized by a rich ruby color and the fruity aromas recall red
fruits like marasca cherries and wildflowers.
