Typical cuisine: Turin's cuisine is rich in dishes and flavors, the heart of Piedmontese gastronomy. Starting with the appetizers: cold cuts, veal with tuna sauce, vegetables accompanied by breadsticks, we continue with the first courses: agnolotti seasoned with the cooking juices of the braised meat or butter and sage, and tajarin, long and thin fresh pasta, seasoned with white truffle or offal ragù. And then the second courses: meats such as boiled meat, braised meat in Barolo, cheeses such as robiola and tome, the famous bagna caôda made with oil, garlic and anchovies in which the vegetables are dipped. Followed by cocoa-based desserts such as bonèt, hazelnut and Gianduja chocolate cakes. All accompanied by great red wines: Barolo, Dolcetto, Barbera, and magnificent whites: Arneis, Moscato. And finally liqueurs and digestives: vermouth and grappa made from many grapes. The best way to enjoy Turin cuisine is to go to a “Piola”, a typical local family-run trattoria.
