Lunch
Scannabue
Largo Saluzzo, 25
This modern osteria is perfect for a lunch inspired by Piedmontese tradition with a touch of innovation. Try their take on vitello tonnato (veal in tuna sauce), agnolotti al plin pasta with three roast meats or Greppi pigeon. Great attention is paid to sourcing the best ingredients.

Looking out on to delightful little piazza, this small piola (small Piedmontese restaurant) is perfect for a quick meal in the covered outdoor area. A must for all Turin visitors and locals.

Taberna (wine bar)
Libraria Via Bogino, 5
Dinner
Vineria Tre Galli

One of the first restaurants to open in the Quadrilatero Romano neighborhood. We love the encyclopedic list of wines and their variation on insalata russa (Russian salad) featuring quail’s eggs.

Solidly traditional Piedmontese cooking. Carne cruda (veal tartare), tajarin pasta with chicken livers and roast pork shin are among the dishes we particularly recommend.
Consorzio
Via Monte di Pietà, 23
The wine list, entitled Eccessi e Riflessioni (“excesses and reflections”) offers over 250 natural wines. Nettle-filled plin pasta, plenty of offal (including brain ravioli) and the famous three pannacottas. Unmissable!
