Already in Turin? Our guide to what to eat in Turin and where names the places locals go, what to order and where to drink.
The cafés and the chocolate
Turin’s historic cafés date from the eighteenth century and the drink they made famous is the bicerin, espresso, hot chocolate and cream layered in a small glass. Gianduja, chocolate with Langhe hazelnuts, was created here and became the gianduiotto and, eventually, Nutella. Chocolate tastings and classes are among the best-rated experiences in the city, and every food tour stops for a bicerin.
Porta Palazzo
Piazza della Repubblica holds Porta Palazzo, about 800 stalls and one of the largest open-air markets in Europe, open weekday mornings and all day Saturday. Market tours walk the produce, cheese and salumi halls with tastings and explain the Piedmontese pantry: Castelmagno and Toma cheeses, hazelnuts, cardoons for bagna cauda, the rices of Vercelli.
Aperitivo and vermouth
Vermouth was invented in Turin in 1786 and the city’s aperitivo is older than Milan’s; evening tours pair it with street food from the piazzas, and dedicated vermouth tastings run an hour with three or four styles. Boutique wine tastings cover Barolo and the Langhe without leaving town; for the real thing, see Barolo tours from Turin.
