The Top 100 Places to Eat Near Guido Castagna

The sand on the floor is imported from Spain, and you'll receive sandals before you sit down. Davide Scabin's one-Michelin-star tasting menu restaurant inside the Grand Hotel Sitea is a full theatrical commitment: a single seafood tasting menu that deliberately runs heavy to light, opening with turbot and red wine fish glaze before easing toward vegetable-forward, acidic finishes. Completely straight-faced about the whole thing, which somehow makes it funnier.

The parquet has been creaking under the same dining room for centuries, and the view across to Palazzo Carignano hasn't changed much either. Del Cambio is a formal Piedmontese restaurant with a Michelin star, the kind of place where the room itself carries historical weight and the kitchen leans into that with classic vitello tonnato and agnolotti del Plin. The wine list runs deep into regional bottles and German Rieslings.

Vitello tonnato here arrives roasted, without the mayonnaise the rest of Turin reaches for, which tells you something about this Michelin-starred fine dining room on Piazza Solferino. The room has the deliberate, unhurried air of an old-school institution, and the maître d' runs the floor with the kind of personality that makes you feel the evening has been arranged personally for you. The wine list leans deep into Langhe verticals.

The wine list at this Piedmontese trattoria runs deep enough to occupy you before you've touched the menu. Chef Valentina Chiaramonte's kitchen leans into the region's more challenging cuts, offal and marrow alongside gentler seasonal vegetable dishes, so the table tends to split along predictable but happy lines. It holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the room fills early with locals who know not to leave it to chance.

Antonino Cannavacciuolo is the name on the door, the celebrity chef behind Villa Crespi, and the kitchen here is run by a chef who pulls Southern Italian tradition through a decidedly modern filter. It's a Michelin-starred restaurant tucked into Borgo Po, one of Turin's quieter, more residential corners. The last dining room looks straight into the kitchen, which is either thrilling or nerve-racking depending on your relationship with eye contact. Book ahead, including for lunch.

Dessert moves to a lounge veranda, which tells you something about how seriously the room takes the full arc of a meal. This Michelin-starred creative Italian restaurant lives inside Lavazza's Nuvola complex, with a colorful, music-forward dining room shaped in part by Ferran Adrià's consultancy. Two tasting menus lean on few ingredients and a lot of intention, pulling at the threads of Italian culinary tradition. Book well ahead.

The Bruzzone brothers turned their old family delicatessen into a small trattoria devoted to Piedmontese cooking, and the transition was thorough. Two cozy dining rooms, tables packed tight, reservations required even at lunch. The menu reads like a regional roll call: acciughe al verde, agnolotti, rabbit al civet, bonet to finish. A Michelin Bib Gourmand, and the kind of place where you're mentally booking your return before the panna cotta arrives.

A savory potato crème caramel tells you everything about what's happening at this ten-seat counter restaurant near the Santuario della Consolata. The blind tasting menu plays dessert techniques against savory courses and back again, so the kitchen can keep you genuinely off-balance from start to finish. Guests are welcomed in a small lounge before taking their places at the counter. It holds a Michelin star.

The vitello tonnato here has a near-mythic reputation in Turin, which tells you something about the regulars. This is a trattoria in San Salvario, the neighborhood where artists and students share tables, and the menu moves from Piedmontese classics like tajarin and plin to the occasional taco with chimichurri without anyone raising an eyebrow. The wine list is considered and the lunch deal is gentle on the wallet. A Michelin Bib Gourmand.

Tables packed close together along via Accademia Albertina, this snug trattoria is about as unfussy as Turin gets. The kitchen leans hard into Piedmont, with meat-forward mains and a cheese board that earns its keep, though it occasionally wanders pleasantly off-region. The dessert menu names its lavender panna cotta "lavanda gastrica," which tells you the team has a sense of humor. A Michelin Bib Gourmand for good measure.

The brick ceilings still carry the shape of the warehouse this place used to be, and the wine bottles lining the shelves aren't just decoration: you can buy them to take home at a slight discount. It's a casual wine-forward restaurant with a short, seasonal menu that leans Piedmontese but lets in the occasional fish. You can order à la carte or build a flexible tasting run at your own pace. Michelin has given it a Bib Gourmand.

A soft-lit bistro on Via Andrea Doria where the menu swings between meat and fish without committing to either, which turns out to be more interesting than it sounds. The kitchen leans Mediterranean but keeps things unpredictable, portions are generous, and the covered terrace is the kind of dimly lit spot that makes every dinner feel like it was someone's idea to be romantic. A good-value neighborhood bistro that doesn't quite act like one.

The restaurant's name nods openly to the chef's long road from Albania to Piedmont, and the cooking carries that same self-awareness: rooted in Piemontese tradition but not precious about it. Fresh pasta, hazelnuts, truffles, and chocolate all show up without feeling like a Greatest Hits tour. The lunch menu runs lighter and easier on the wallet, though the kitchen will often let you wander into the fuller evening territory if you ask.

A Ligurian-Piedmontese pizza and farinata spot tucked into one of central Turin's prettier streets, where the menu leans on the overlap between two regional traditions rather than chasing trends. The dough work is serious, the ingredients are carefully sourced, and homemade creme caramel closes things out in the way only places that actually care about dessert bother to do. Casual, affordable, and exactly as good as it needs to be.

A pizza shop in central Turin where the dough is the obsession, not an afterthought. The menu roams well beyond the classic round, into crispy, pala, and a bun-style format called pizz'otto, each style treated as its own argument. Vitello tonnato reworked as a pizza topping captures the spirit of the place pretty well. Ranked in the top fifteen on 50 Top Pizza Italy, which tracks for a room this focused on fermentation.

The elevator banks inside Renzo Piano's Intesa Sanpaolo tower deliver you, at some speed, to a Michelin-starred restaurant 150 metres above Turin. Step onto the panoramic terrace first, before the room pulls you in. Contemporary Piedmontese tasting menus run from regional to pan-Italian to a nod toward the Piccolo Lago mothership. At lunch the whole operation shifts into a more relaxed bistro gear, which is its own reason to come up here.

A sushi and fusion restaurant in the old heart of Turin where the menu runs on the motto "Taste different," which it seems to mean. The kitchen bends Japanese technique toward Sicilian instincts and the occasional French flourish, cold green-tea noodles sharing the menu with wagyu ham and butter-seared scallop. It ranked sixth on 50 Top Italy's sushi list, for whatever direction you need pointing.

A plant-only restaurant in Turin where the chef works closely with Piedmontese farmers and lets the season dictate everything, right down to the birch sap in the drinks. The open kitchen keeps the small dining room lively, and the wine list moves comfortably between Champagne and natural bottles. Nothing on the plate comes from an animal, but the cooking is anything but austere.

Climbing plants soften deliberately aged green walls, and a small terrace out front sets the tone before you've ordered a thing. This is a Nikkei restaurant and cocktail bar where the chef, a Peruvian native, works the Japanese-Peruvian crossover with a light hand and sharp contrasts. Tasting menus and à la carte both run alongside a sip pairing, small cocktail tastings built around Nikkei ingredients, which is a more considered idea than it sounds.

The wine list at this modern Piedmontese restaurant is organized by color-coded mood, from "voluptuous" to "purpureal," which sounds like a game but is surprisingly useful. The space itself has history, once a grocer's shop where Lavazza first started blending coffee. The kitchen leans into regional tradition with a creative edge, and the carousel of starters makes a strong case for ordering everything on the table at once.

A pizza shop in central Turin sitting in the literal shadow of the Mole Antonelliana, which is a lot of pressure for any dough. The slices come pre-cut, partly for convenience and partly so toppings don't slide off the more elaborate combinations. The bases use long-leavened semi-wholemeal flour, or versions with charcoal, hemp, or ancient grains. Craft beers round things out, and the whole setup is casual enough that you can eat standing without feeling like you're doing it wrong.

A Roman chef running a Piedmontese kitchen is either a provocation or a proposition, and here it reads as the latter.

A Neapolitan pizzeria that landed in Turin's lively San Salvario neighborhood and didn't bother to adjust the decor, the dialect, or the attitude. The walls are covered in photos from Naples, the menu is short enough to read before your water arrives, and the high-edge pizza comes with a puffy crust that makes a decent argument all on its own. The dough is light, the service is quick and informal, and the bill tends to cause a small pleasant shock.

The wood-fired oven is the whole point here, and the menu makes sure you know it. Napples is a casual Neapolitan pizza spot in Turin doing fried pizzas, stuffed crusts, montanare, and enough deep-fried everything else to feel like a proper southern detour. The Quartieri Spagnoli focaccia has its fans, and the Borbonica, stuffed with ham and croquettes, is the kind of pizza that makes ordering light feel naive.

The all-female front-of-house team runs things with easy, unforced warmth.

The menu is divided into "acts," which tells you everything about the mood here: this is a pizza restaurant that takes itself seriously, in the best Torinese way. The dough goes through a long ferment and comes out light, with a proper crust and a thin, structured base. Small sandwiches called PanAria are worth ordering as a warm-up. Wine, craft beer, and cocktails round out a room that draws the pizza-curious crowd from across the city.
