The flavors of Turin

Turin è a true capital of taste, with a gastronomic tradition that combines elegance, authenticity and innovation.

It is famous for its historic specialties such as the gianduiotto, the bicerin (a typical hot drink made with coffee, chocolate and cream) and of course artisan chocolate, produced since the 18th century.
Among the most beloved traditional dishes are bagna cauda (a hot sauce made with garlic and anchovies served with seasonal vegetables), vitello tonnato, agnolotti del plin and brasato al Barolo. Piedmontese cuisine is rich and generous, often linked to seasonality and local products.
The city is also a reference point for those who love white truffle, mountain cheeses and Piedmontese wines — from Barolo to Barbera.

The culture of the aperitivo is deeply rooted: do not miss a glass of vermouth (born right in Turin) in historic cafés in the city center, such as Caffè San Carlo or Caffè Mulassano.

For those who love discovering cities through their flavors, the Porta Palazzo Market is a must-see: it is the largest open-air market in Europe, with over 800 stalls and an incredible variety of fresh, local and international products. A few steps away, the Mercato Centrale offers a contemporary gastronomic experience.
