A reference point for refined cuisine blending innovation and local tradition. The panoramic location on the Turin hills creates a charming atmosphere, perfect for an informal lunch or a romantic dinner. Interiors are bright and elegant, focused on simplicity and comfort, while the veranda and terrace offer breathtaking views. Hospitality is overseen by Simone Capello, an expert in wine selection: the carta includes Italian and French labels, with particular attention to bollicine, at accessible prices. Service is attentive but informal, ensuring a relaxed mood. Chef Gianni Spegis presents a menù alternating reinterpretations of Piedmontese classics with innovative dishes. Among antipasti: acciughe al verde, battuta al coltello and vitello tonnato sit alongside creations like roasted octopus in Takoyaki. The primi range from Carnaroli di Baraggia with toma, fig saba and confit shallot to agnolotti della nonna ai tre arrosti. For secondi: sottofiletto in Grissinopoli and Finanziera with rooster combs and Marsala. Desserts follow the seasons: warm tortino with zabajone alla Malvasia or torta di nocciola. Excellent value for money: the menù degustazione (€80, wines excluded) offers a complete experience.
