Azotea: A sensory journey between Peru and Japan (worth every penny)
I'd already been to Azotea for their aperitivo (the excellent 5 tapas + 1 cocktail for €30), but this time I wanted to up the ante and try the full dinner experience. And I can say with certainty: it was absolutely worth it.
The Concept: Qampaq
We chose the Qampaq menu, which in the Quechua language means "for you." It's an invitation to let yourself be guided, and we opted for two different options to sample more:
Chef's Fav (€50 for 3 dishes)
Meat (€50 for 3 dishes)
We also added the cocktail pairing (€25 for 3 drinks), an option I highly recommend. Azotea isn't just food; it's a true culinary journey that masterfully blends Peruvian and Japanese culture (Nikkei cuisine), creating unique and surprising flavors.
Impeccable Service
The added value of the venue is undoubtedly the staff: extremely kind and, above all, highly knowledgeable. Each dish and cocktail was explained to us in great detail, from composition to preparation, transforming the dinner into a cultural as well as a gastronomic experience.
The Grand Finale
Unsatisfied with all the wonders, we concluded with two desserts, each accompanied by their own dedicated drink pairing. A perfect end to a high-quality evening.
Conclusion
The venue is elegant and the atmosphere is refined (reservations are required!). It's certainly not a cheap experience, but the quality of the ingredients, the sophisticated cocktails, and the expert service fully justify the price.
I will definitely return to explore the other dishes and creations at the bar. Highly recommended for those looking for a thrill, not just a dinner.

I was there yesterday (Wednesday, during the week) for a couples' dinner. The atmosphere was truly unique; we sat in the small room, which gave it a touch of intimacy. The service was excellent, from the moment we entered the restaurant with a warm welcome and a selection of welcome appetizers. They were excellent at explaining each dish and cocktail step by step, and the timing between courses was perfect. We chose two Qampaq + Cocktail pairing menus, with the Azotea signature and Onda menus. The portions were limited but had unique flavors, compliments to the kitchen... the cocktails were probably the best I've had in Turin, and they paired excellently with the dishes, with a delightful interplay of flavors that lingered in the mouth between eating and drinking. The smokiness of the Negroni was spectacular, further enhanced by citrus flavors, echoing the smokiness of the grilled octopus. The cheesecake was delicious, where what looked like a blackberry was actually the cheese part of the dessert. A pleasant evening.

Spectacular venue! Azotea offers an elegant and welcoming atmosphere. The staff is extremely kind and attentive, always smiling. The dishes are carefully crafted, rich in flavor, and impeccably presented; the cocktails are among the best I've tried in the city.
Ideal for both a romantic dinner and an aperitif with friends. An experience I recommend to anyone who wants to enjoy a special evening in a refined setting with a breathtaking view!

Second time here.
The welcome was lovely, the girls who served us during dinner were kind, but otherwise, it was a bit of a flop.
The manager who took our order gave us good directions without overdoing it with the dishes, but when I asked for the spicy drink, she told me it was almost imperceptible, and I replied that it wasn't actually a problem. She took it as a challenge, probably because my drink contained a far more than imperceptible amount of spiciness. On the contrary!!
The food was more appealing on paper than it tasted. The salmon had gone bad (it tasted of bleach, so it was either not good or had been stored very poorly), and we eat a lot of ceviche. Unfortunately, the acid in the sauce couldn't cover that flavor.
We mentioned this to the first waitress.
The rest of the dishes were good, especially the last two. Perhaps the restaurateurs were too inexperienced and a bit pretentious, because the price on the receipt remained unchanged, not even eliminating the "gone bad" dish.
It was a shame.

Azotea offers an elegant and refined setting, with a pleasant atmosphere for a dinner with friends or as a couple. The view and decor contribute to a refined atmosphere, ideal for a special evening.
I enjoyed beautifully presented dishes, made with good-quality ingredients: not everything was Michelin-starred, but the menu offers interesting choices, and the service was generally attentive and discreet. The staff is courteous and helpful, capable of welcoming you without being overbearing.
It wasn't the best experience of my life, but it's definitely worth a visit for those looking for a stylish venue, good food, and a pleasant atmosphere.
