In the heart of the Roman centre just a short distance from Porta Palazzo lies a trattoria which had been open since 1575. Both opulence has alternated with harder times in the history of this venue which in recent years has found its ancient splendour once again, welcoming the visitor with an atmosphere of days gone by with old objects which hang from the walls alongside the paintings. There are just a few tables and about seventy places in the central hall with wood panelled walls as well as the more intimate side rooms. Booking is obligatory.
Specialities: A variety of Piedmont cuisine including cured meats and typical cheeses as an appetiser as well as the real house specialities such as boiled meats and mixed fried fish (by prior request). There is a fixed menu which changes each day, just like the trattorias of yesteryear.
Wine cellar: a careful selection of wines which, of course, favours Piedmont wines.

Founded on 5 October 1757 and a member of the Italy's Association of Historical Venues, Ristorante Del Cambio is a milestone of the city's image. In a backroom it is possible to see the table (preserved as a memento) where Count Camillo Benso di Cavour would regularly lunch. In the kitchens, expert chefs create dishes with many French influences but which retain their own personality. The stuffed "del Plin" agnolottini pasta parcels and Piedmont style Bončt with hazelnuts from the Langhe region are a must.

An elegant restaurant which bears the name of an officer of the Piedmont Dragoons and is situated right in the corps' old stables. In line with Turin's new style, it combines the traditional Piedmont cuisine with streaks of creativity. The result is dishes such as sturgeon carpaccio with foie gras, turbot in a potato crust cooked with Barbera wine or ground veal with a warm garlic zabaglione. To wind up it is best to forget about calorie counting and indulge in the desserts: amongst other things, the menu features an extravagant almond and pudding with figs soaked in Zibibbo muscatel wine.

Food and irony go hand-in-hand in Piero Chiambretti's restaurant in Turin. The venue is an ex-knitwear factory cheerfully decked out in loud colours, with a predominance of yellow. There is no shortage of photos of famous people in bizarre poses and it is not unusual to come across show business stars at the tables. Excellent pizzas; the fish is also worth trying.
