"Excellent meal, restaurant looking very simple but the food is exceptionally good and the service is warm and efficient. We ordered the zucchini flower gratin, roast duck with potatoes and side salad. All were expertly prepared. We'd def dine here again when we next visit Torino."
Clarence Wong
"We LOVE this cute restaurant run by the family. We made a reservation 2 weeks ago just to make sure we could dine here during a brief visit in Turin. What a joy! Service is warm and impeccable. Food is amazing. We absolutely recommend anyone to come here when you are in town. The experience will blow you away."
