Taste Turin

A bicerin, a market morning and a generous lunch. Discover Turin one café, street and local dish at a time.

A city to enjoy slowly

Turin’s central streets make room for café pauses, small chocolate tastings and a proper Piedmontese lunch. Begin around the Consolata and Porta Palazzo, then follow the porticoes towards the Po. Keep a museum or a longer neighbourhood visit as a choice for another part of your stay.

Your first visit, made simpler

Check the market day. Outdoor stalls and covered halls can have different opening times.
Keep lunch relaxed. Choose the dishes you want rather than every course.
Ask about the aperitivo. Check what food your drink includes.
Leave room for a pause. A bicerin or a small chocolate tasting deserves its own moment.

Turin is only the beginning

Give the Langhe, Roero, Monferrato, Vercelli rice plain or the northern lakes a separate day. Each has its own pace and a different table.
