Antico Balon In Torino

Welcoming place, but it's a shame the food didn't quite satisfy us, especially the starters, which were small portions for the price. The rice was overcooked.

A fantastic find in Turin! Antico Balon pizzeria is an authentic establishment that truly lives up to its reputation. From the moment you arrive, you're warmly welcomed by a smiling and attentive team, always ready to offer friendly advice. The atmosphere is convivial and typically Italian, with a touch of retro charm that makes you feel like you're eating in a real neighborhood pizzeria, far from the tourist traps. The pizzas are simply delicious: perfectly cooked, light, and flavorful crust, fresh, high-quality ingredients, and generous portions. You can taste the expertise and respect for Italian tradition, while still offering a varied selection to suit all tastes. Every bite is a delight, and the value for money is excellent for the center of Turin. The service is quick without being rushed, and the team takes the time to ensure everything is going smoothly. It's the kind of place where you feel comfortable, whether you come with friends, family, or as a couple.

Amazing place, well done everyone! We were there for the Bagna Cauda weekend, and it exceeded our expectations!! Highly recommended!

Booked for a holiday dinner, with the option of sitting outside and enjoying a glass of wine or beer at the bar while you wait. Small but cozy place. There's a locker at the entrance where you can leave your jackets. Service is prompt, courteous, and fast. Excellent food, from pizzas to traditional dishes.

I had dinner outdoors with high expectations, especially for the fresh pasta, but I was moderately disappointed. 4 stars for the appetizers: good ingredients, simple, home-made preparations, which I really enjoyed, especially the veal with tuna sauce. 3 stars for the first courses: the pasta was good, but the toppings weren't up to par. 4 for the service: fast, courteous, smiling, and always attentive. 3 for the outdoor dining area, because I dined there; the interior is definitely more characteristic. The wine markup is fair. I wouldn't recommend a dinner there. There are better options in the area.

Small but welcoming place, efficient and courteous service, everything very good.

Fantastic experience at this charming and welcoming Turin restaurant. Excellent service, high-quality cuisine, I highly recommend it!

I chose this restaurant for a special day, celebrating Bagna Cauda Day. I booked well in advance to offer a special guest a wonderful experience of Piedmontese culture. Unfortunately, dinner didn't go as I'd hoped due to the disorganization of the staff, and even more so the owner, who rudely made me feel uncomfortable by arguing at the table in front of my guest, despite their mistake. The quality of the food was barely adequate. I strongly advise against starting dinner with farinata!

A restaurant with lots of football gear and all sorts of other items on the walls. A homey atmosphere. The food was served quickly, was delicious, and served in a friendly manner.

Delicious pizzas, excellent value for money, unique location.
