Le Vitel Etonne’

Located in the very center of Turin, the sign highlights the house specialty: the cult Piedmontese dish that is always available here. The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, with two dining rooms, one in the cellar with 300 Italian labels, including many Piedmontese reds. Chef Massimiliano Brunetto offers Piedmontese dishes, sometimes reinterpreted. Among the antipasti: vitello tonnato della casa, glazed animelle with roasted artichokes, insalata di gallina, truset (red radicchio), Castelmagno, hazelnuts and hard-boiled egg (€14-15). Among the primi: classic agnolotti al plin, ravioles della Val Varaita with burro, salvia, fontina and hazelnuts, tagliolini 36 tuorli with artichokes or salsiccia di Bra, vegan ravioli filled with artichokes and potatoes (€13-16). For secondi: ramen of bollito alla piemontese, baccalà with black garlic and kale chips, and the traditional finanziera (€22-23). For dessert: cremoso with gianduia, salted caramel cream and hazelnuts, and Martin sec pears with nebbiolo, robiola di capra cream flavored with cinnamon and crumble (all €7). Excellent value for money. Fresh pasta to take away is made daily, along with various sauces.
