Grom
The first-ever outlet of this Slow Food–affiliated ice cream, renowned for organic flavours such as green tea, was started here in Turin. There’s another branch at Via Accademia delle Scienze 4, which keeps the same hours.

Porta di Savona
An economical, low-on-pretension trattoria with a deserved reputation for superb agnolotti al sugo arrosto (Piedmontese ravioli in a meat gravy), and gnocchi di patate al gorgonzola. The mains – including bollito misto alla Piedmontese (boiled meat and vegetable stew) – are equally memorable. Be patient: the food takes a while to arrive, probably because it’s 100% homemade and 100% Piedmontese.

Kuoki
Head around the corner from the Mole Antonelliana to this intriguing spot run by Giorgio Armani’s former personal chef, Toni Vitiello. At high communal tables, you can dine on Italian blackboard specials, or sushi bar twists such as a Kuoki roll (salmon or tuna with ricotta, olive oil and basil). Toni’s other fusion creations include chicken in Coca-Cola with orange peel.

Pizzeria Stars & Roses
The list of pizzas on offer at this stylish place is lengthy and adventurous, with toppings including salmon and whisky, or caviar and vodka. Each of its rooms is themed according to colour (red, white, silver, pink, blue and black), so you can choose to suit the occasion. Police mugshots of erstwhile arrested movie stars (Hugh Grant, Al Pacino, et al) line the walls.

Pizzeria Il Rospetto
There are hundreds of pizzerias in Turin and the nuances of each are never the same, but if you took a poll, the hole-in-the-wall Il Rospetto (little toad) in San Salvario would definitely be competing for top honours. Fast, crowded and insanely popular, it has over 30 tasty thin-crust flavours to sink your teeth into here – including the dessert-style Nutella pizza!

Brek
Only Italians could take ‘fast food’ and make it credible and edible. Brek is a small self-service restaurant chain where you can pick up fresh pasta, pizza, sausages, salads and desserts. Inside, the ambience is far from plastic. Indeed you might even be inclined to linger awhile in the plant-bedecked outdoor courtyard.

Restaurant del Cambio
Crimson velvet, glittering chandeliers, baroque mirrors and a timeless air greet you at this grande dame of the Turin dining scene, regularly patronised by Count Cavour in his day. It first opened its doors in 1757, and classic Piedmont cuisine still dominates the menu. Bookings and smart dress are advised.

Combal Zero
Combine the trip out to Castello di Rivoli with a meal at its outstanding Michelin-starred restaurant, which features innovative creations such as a 'cyberegg' (caviar, vodka, egg yolk, shallots and pepper wrapped in cellophane) and Piedmontese classics such as truffle risotto. Bookings essential.

Al Bicerin
The 1763-established Al Bicerin, beneath a 14th-century bell tower, takes its name from bicerin, a caffeine-charged hot drink of chocolate, coffee and cream. It also serves snacks such as chocolate on toast.

Mare Nostrum
Appropriately enough, Turin's top fish restaurant sits on a street meaning 'fisherman'. Mare Nostrum is an upmarket, lip-smacking choice which uses only the freshest of ingredients in its carefully thought-out menu.

Ignore the clever-clogs name. There’s nothing particularly Fellini-esque about this…restaurant – but come expecting great food. Twin dining rooms with French-washed blue and pink walls, striped tablecloths, and bread served in white paper bags. Try bistecca di vitello alla grissinopoli (steak or veal crumbed with crunchy breadsticks), huge salads and excellent Piedmontese wines by the bottle.
