Restaurants in Turin
Turin is the birthplace of the slow food movement, trumpeting locally produced dishes and regional cooking. Excellent examples are found across the city, but Turin also offers up everything from cheap and cheerful sandwich shops to elegant fine dining restaurants. Specialities include agnolotti, a meat filled egg pasta served with gravy or butter and sage, and bagna cauda, a sauce based on anchovies, garlic and olive oil in which you dip cabbage, Jerusalem artichoke, peppers and other raw vegetables. Don’t miss the wide range of high quality cheeses either - most are handmade in the Alpine valleys.
The Turin restaurants below have been handpicked by our guide author and are grouped into three pricing categories:
Expensive (over €40)
Moderate (€25 to €40)
Cheap (up to €25)
These Turin restaurant prices are for a three-course meal for one, including half a bottle of house wine or equivalent, tax and service. A pane e coperto (bread and cover) charge may also be added. If service hasn’t been added to your bill, and it has been good, leave a tip of a few euros.
