Antica Trattoria del Sole In Torino

10/07/2025: Excellent fish-based dinner and staff very attentive to customer needs

13/06/2025: Restaurant: Dal Ponte – Villanova Canavese An evening that tastes of the sea, in the silent heart of the Canavese Valleys. The restaurant is small, but welcoming like a house of happy memories. Tablecloths that remind us of the sea, waves drawn with grace, and an atmosphere that whispers “slow down, here you can savor”. Our journey begins with a Plateau Royal: a triumph of the sea in celebration, fleshy oysters that taste of wind and depth, sea lemons as bright as rare pearls, scallops that melt like whispers, red shrimp with an intense and proud flavor, salmon and tuna tartare, raw delicacies that caress the palate like liquid poetry. Then, like an unexpected twist, the prawns with gorgonzola arrive – a bold, creamy, inebriating harmony: an embrace between sea and land, that remains in the memory like a well-written song. The heart of the dinner is a sea bass with a sincere flavor, cooked to perfection, soft and fragrant, placed on a crunchy potato crust, which envelops the dish in a warm caress. And finally, the dessert: a chocolate sphere that opens like a secret, revealing softness and intensity, and a Salento cream pasticciotto – not too sweet, just the right amount: an authentic cuddle, between tradition and lightness. To accompany it all, a bottle recommended by the splendid Mrs. Miriam: a Sicilian Kikè, fragrant, enveloping, that danced with the dishes as if it already knew everything. High quality, more than honest price - a rare combination, that makes the heart smile. The staff is kind, authentic, present. And Mrs. Miriam, with grace and intelligence, was a precious compass among the flavors. And then there is Mr. Pino - chef, owner, discreet and true soul of this place. His cuisine speaks for itself: it tells of attention, experience, respect for the raw material and a sincere desire to make those who sit at the table feel good. In short, a beautiful discovery. A place from which you leave full... also of beauty. We will return. With pleasure, and with appetite.
