RISTORANTE GIACHINO   Chivasso

In the heart of Chivasso, the restaurant welcomes guests in a modern, warm atmosphere, with open kitchen, wood and brick details, and vintage photographs. The history of the place is deeply tied to the Giachino family, now in its fourth generation. In 2016, after ten years in Murisengo, Gian Luigi and his son Alessandro reopened here, bringing with them experience and passion: the former in the kitchen, the latter specializing in pastry and leavened products. The offering combines Piedmontese tradition with creativity. At lunch, three menù are available (light, business, or degustazione from €16-20, wine or water included). Among specialties: insalata of figs with caprino mousse, carpione della casa, tajarin with 40 tuorli, agnolotti ai tre brasati, and bollito of veal cheek. Also present are fish dishes, gourmet meat hamburgers, and lumache alla bourguignonne. Alessandro creates pizzas and focacce with special doughs, such as “Mica pizza e fichi.” Desserts, all homemade, range from classics like bonet and torta di nocciole to more original delights like crème brûlée with passion fruit. Gian Luigi’s excellence is testified by the award “Il Nocciolino d’oro” and his mention in the historic “Guida dei Ristoranti della Tavolozza” back in 1992.
