Al Garamond In Torino

Refined, elegant atmosphere, right in the centre

Excellent cuisine, a very friendly chef, but the prices are exorbitant. We spent €100 each (thanks to a discount they gave us; otherwise, it would have been more than €100), which isn't justified, even though the dinner was excellent. The juxtaposition of Sicilian and Piedmontese cuisine is interesting. The restaurant, despite being renovated, isn't my favorite, but that's my taste. The table service could be improved given the price range.

I had a wonderful meal at this restaurant. It's a beautiful, classy place. The waiters were kind and attentive to their customers' every need.

We stayed in Torino for 5 days and I have to say this restaurant was highlight of our stay from culinary perspective. To start we got complimentary green beans hummus and some nice small bites . I had cod tartar which was delicious followed by risotto which was with truffle followed by medium cookies deer sirloin. For drink we had local Riesling which was great. My friend tried the deer and didn’t like the strong sauce but I really enjoyed it. For dessert I had chocolate mousse with mint sauce which was amazing. Service was attentive but not disruptive to our evening which was perfect. Restaurant was not too busy and had a tranquility sensation which was what we needed after a very intense few days of work

Elegant venue, superb dinner. Lots of delicacies to accompany it.

Excellent restaurant. Very well-organized service.

Some of the dishes are high-quality, but the overall experience felt a bit forced rather than refined. The service was rather tense, and the portions were truly minimal: €32 for a plate of four scampi seemed excessive to me. The main courses were very good and well-crafted, but the quantities remained modest. There was a clear desire to focus on refinement, but in my opinion, a little more balance was needed: elegance, yes, but with more substantial dishes. Furthermore, some details that should make a difference were neglected: glasses found slightly stained or poorly re-glazed, damp breadsticks (though later replaced), water re-poured without asking if we wanted it. Small gestures, but together they give the impression of a certain lack of attention.

High quality, prices absolutely in line.... an experience to repeat, elegant but not too formal environment.... the chef and Mrs. Gianna make you feel "at home" Special dishes and amazing desserts!!!!

Superb caponata, excellent lobster agnolotti, remarkable goat and guinea fowl, and unforgettable cassata (pictured). In addition to what we ordered, they brought us a delicious complimentary appetizer of savory pastries, followed by a small glass of semifreddo as a pre-dessert, and finally an assortment of pastries to accompany our coffee. Delicious!
