Al Gatto Nero In Torino

A legendary restaurant in Turin that used to have Michelin stars and chose to stay true and principled instead of serving entertaining fancy modernity. The interior is from the 70s/80s and the guest seem to be mostly local and in the know. The food is supreme and principled, the perfect execution and ingredients are far more important than decoration. The perfect anchovies with sublime fresh herbs, the squid with artichokes, the most amazing cod with potatoes you will ever have, the home made pastas with impeccably elegant ragu and game sauces and the most amazing tripe with beans I’ve ever had. Every dish is timeless and even a 5% error can make it bland and useless. Never happens here. The wine list is great and doesn’t require extra descriptions. Come here for perfectly executed Italian and you will actually both enjoy the food and learn what benchmark taste is. Excellent!

I couldn’t be happier with my experience! The place was fantastic, the service impeccable, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. The staff was incredibly friendly, and I have to give a special shoutout to Aziz, the cook—what an amazing person! His passion and talent truly stood out, making the visit unforgettable. Highly recommend this place!

Magnificent discovery with a quality menu and attentive service A big thank you for this beautiful moment

old days cool athmosphere, nice meals, kind but slow service

Reservado debido a su reputación, pero desconcertado por la experiencia. No volvería a ir. El personal más joven necesita capacitación en el rol de cara al cliente - a mano y hosco. El propietario claramente habría querido estar en otro lugar. La comida era interesante pero sin una sola verdura de ningún tipo. El pan y los grissini se tiraron sobre la mesa, y el pan fue un insulto para los panaderos italianos. El barolo era bueno.

Historic place from the times of Turin that was... good times and memories gone by. The style of both the restaurant and the dishes has nothing to envy of much more "EMBELLISHED" places The tables are very well spaced, several round (which I find very elegant) and fine table linens... which in 2024 seems like something for Martians! The tasting menu is especially for the first experience, an excellent proposal to get an idea of ​​what the chef proposes.... The only flaw, if I may say so, is the table service which is a bit slow... if you have company it might be fine to spend the evening but for two the wait is a bit too long. Price consistent with the quality of the place. Recommended for those who want to eat classic food without many exotic experiments... here you can find excellent Italian/Tuscan cuisine

Al Gatto Nero offers a historical experience now almost forgotten in Turin, offering a very welcoming environment, a very large and good wine cellar and delicious food ranging from starters to desserts. Without ever forgetting the welcome and the great friendliness offered by the very elegant and very beautiful dressed waiters

Honestly one of the best meals I’ve ever had in Italy. Gracious and good-humoured staff, excellent vibes in the room, incredible food. Love having the option of half bottles of great wine and was recommended the most gorgeous amaro to accompany dessert. I would come back to Torino just to eat here again.

The menu is excellent and the atmosphere pleasantly frozen in time.
