Nice food, limited choice of wines by the glass, not so nice waiter
The place is nice and cozy, and the food is nice (not extraordinary, but nice). What was disappointing was the very limited choice of wines by the glass. In Piedmont, there was not even ONE Nebbiolo by the glass. There were Barolo and Barbaresco, but for the dishes I had ordered those would just be too much. Also, the waiter was not very nice when I asked him: how come there is no Nebbiolo by the glass? He answered: Barolo and Barbaresco are Nebbiolo... well, I am a professional sommelier and I perfectly know that, so please do not treat me like a dumb customer... I simply asked for a glass of Nebbiolo, because I wanted THAT and not a Barbaresco or a Barolo... If you do not have it, or you prefer to sell more expensive wines, fine. But do not treat a customer like he/she is dumb...;)

We were able to book a table same day, and decided for the Tasting Menu. Best tartare among several. "Crunchy eggs" were delicious and very tasteful. The sauce with the ravioli was fantastic. Very meaty main dish. And delicious Panna cotta to finish. Wine was really good and reasonably priced.

We found everything to our liking at this restaurant. Staff were very helpful and friendly and food selection pleasing and there are meatless dishes for those who prefer. Good to get excellent wines available by the glass. Recommend.

We visited this restaurant on the basis of three recommendations: One from a chef in Milan, one from a good friend, and one from someone who has hosted groups in the restaurant. Our reservation was for 7:30 PM, and we had been informed when we booked that if we were fifteen minutes late, the table would not be available, and we would be charged 40€ each. We arrived at 7:25 PM and found that the lights were off, the security grill was down, and that there was no one moving around inside. We walked down the street and waited. At 7:40 the door was opened, and the lights were turned on. Another couple entered, and we followed them in. Our table was in the back, and we asked if we could be moved to the front room, nearer the door, where there was more airflow. ‘No, that’s impossible’. Okay, we understand, you’re going to be super busy, and have planned out the room, or something, because you told us that we could only have the table for two hours. And actually, because the chairs are so uncomfortable, sitting there any longer would have been impossible. When we left at 9:30 the restaurant was not even half full. And no one said good night. Menus arrived, with grissini, and bread, but no olive oil for the bread. Perhaps the restaurant has an agreement with the dentists of Turin, because the grissini were stale and hard enough to crack tooth enamel. But okay, it was Wednesday night, and maybe they wanted to get rid of the grissini from the night before. The menu is interesting, with variations on regional Piemontese dishes. We ordered one set menu, and three à la carte dishes. I was going to order the ‘Quinto quarto’ or ‘The Fifth Quarter, offal assortment’ because I do like offal, but was put off by the waiter’s description of the dish - Cow vagina is not appealing, and generally speaking, brains are no longer a good choice to eat. The set menu came with Piemontese style steak tartar and Crunchy egg with swiss chard, fondue and bacon, Agnolotti gobbi, Ruché wine braised Piemontese beef with wholemeal polenta, and panna cotta. We also ordered the sweetbreads with a pomegranate sauce, which were very tasty, the ‘Mountain ravioli’ with mandarin pollen (starchy and under seasoned), and the hanger steak(cooked correctly but served with a side of stringy greens that were impossible to chew and swallow). The braised Ruché beef was like eating over done pot roast from a pressure cooker. The panna cotta was excellent and the coffee unexpectedly bad. The wine list was surprising, as French wines out number the Italian offerings by two to one and are overpriced. Wine advice is ‘sketchy’ at best. The service staff are of the ‘I’m so hipster because of my facial hair, and I have tattoos, so I’m way cooler than you’ll ever be especially because you’re older than my grandparents, so you don’t know anything about food’, variety. The table next to us had problems with what they were served, and, although we don’t speak Italian, the response from the waiter was fairly obviously, ‘Look, you ordered it, that’s the way we prepare it, and if you don’t like it, too bad.’ We saw them later on the metro platform, and they basically told us that their meal was ‘okay, but nothing special’. This restaurant seems to be trading on its name as part of the Slow Food movement, but that does not excuse the offhanded service nor the uneven quality of the food. The prices are high for such a badly furnished, poorly lit, and uncomfortable setting. This place is a tourist trap. It was the worst and most overpriced meal we had in Turin.
