Caffetteria Torinese

Top choice in Friuli Venezia Giulia


Twice the winner of the best bar in Italy, Caffe Torinese has an unmatched location at the edge of Piazza Grande. Acclaimed for both its coffee, baked goods and gourmet sandwiches, it is also a rather refined restaurant. Be guided by charming owner Nereo, who will supply you with platters of charcuterie, foie gras burgers and monkfish with wild broccoli and lime.

In the evening the cafe turns into a bar serving a huge selection of regional wines, cocktails and tasty cicheti (tapas).
