I was impressed by the located (tucked away in a nice building off Via Po) and, more importantly, the quality of the food and service. The service was attentive, professional, and never over bearing. The sommelier was particularly impressive. One of the better meals I've had in Turin and will definitely return.

Attended this restaurant daily for lunch while at a conference. Food was presented in a buffet style and while varied each dish lacked flavour, seasoning and interest. Ironically, the name of this restaurant was unknown to me and having read a guide book/ review I picked this very restaurant for a romantic evening meal - having arrived at the location... More

There is no sign for the restaurant and even when you think you found the place it is not sure you discover the way to the restaurant. However, it is worth it! Not only is it an amazing building and overall setting, the cuisine is exquisite! Better make sure to reserve a table! You then will be served with local... More

Normally we choose our restaurants from a Michelin or similar guide but now we chose to follow the reviews from this website. And we were certainly not disappointed. What a great place! Four courses of Italian cuisine for only 37 euros in a beautiful restaurant in an old palazzo in downtown Turin. And this four course dinner served no less... More

Turin, the city where I spent my student's years, and where I often return with pleasure, has changed in many ways, but not in her deep respect for history. For the Restaurant del Circolo dei Lettori history is embedded into his essence, you can read it in each item in the menu! But history is hanging from his walls where... More

I found the restaurant through an Internet search and we couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. Everything was perfect: the helpful staff, the outstandingly good food and the wine. The readers' club is hidden away inside an old palazzo with no indication from the road of its existence. Don't be put off...we were let in to the courtyard by a... More

I have been to this restaurant three times and on each occasion the food served was an experience.The presentation was impeccable, the home made pasta was like no other and the desserts just out of this world. Everything that is served is fresh and the menu changes according to the season to ensure this freshness. The wine list is vast... More
