Bar Baffo In Torino

The warm and welcoming atmosphere immediately puts us at ease. We order the trio of appetizers, plus a shared Russian salad: all the flavors are clear and right; the freshest tomino cheese and the perfect green sauce; the cooking technique for the vitello tonnato modernizes the value of tradition, maintaining its evident quality, which begins with the raw ingredients. This adherence to tradition doesn't prevent pleasant surprises from appearing with unexpected aromas, expertly and meticulously scattered on the serving plates, perhaps the fragrance of a tiny lavender flower... We continue with the Scialatielli with sardines and wild fennel (and everything else you need): sumptuous, with a rich sauce that preserves the intensity of the fish's flavor, the sweet and spicy interplay is perfectly balanced. We finish with the Baked Pumpkin, comforting and tasty. We drank a well-balanced Barbera, chosen from the bulk wine selection. The prices were more than fair, and the service was punctual and attentive. An experience that combines the full pleasure of an evening with the joy of knowing, in a challenging context like Barriera, brilliant businesses like this one exist, where the awareness of know-how can overcome any challenge. Thank you for the excellent cuisine and best wishes for the future!

Good food, knowledgeable staff, affordable prices, but I'm not a big eater, so I found the portions a bit small. 😉

Super good! Super nice! Super what!

Nice place, good food and service too.

Wonderful Sunday lunch! Excellent food and top-notch ingredients! Francesco's creativity was incredible! The four of us will definitely be back!

Highly recommended. Tradition with a touch of sophistication. Top.

Caratteristica piola in zona Barriera di Milano. È un localino senza pretese ma con una identità forte, dove la memoria non è sbiadita.. Francesco mette la passione nei suoi piatti e si vede, si sente con il palato... Ci sono sapori che sanno risvegliare la nostra memoria, e qui accade... Con le acciughe cantabricco con il bagnetto verde, con il vitello tonnato, con i peperoni in bagna cauda, il tipico bonet ed il tiramisu' espresso. Siamo venuti spinti dalla curiosità, sperando di ritrovare i sapori di un tempo e li abbiamo trovati ad accoglierci come se fossimo sempre stati li... Gli scialatielli ai gamberi poi una delizia! Non è solo un buon incontro con piatti buoni e ben rifiniti, è una esperienza che solo chi sa riconoscere, sa apprezzare.. In un'epoca in cui molti sanno nascondersi solo dietro le tastiere, il coraggio di Francesco di riaprire, dando voce alla sua passione, non solo è ammirevole, è raro!

Allora esistono ancora le Osterie degne di tale nome: qualità del cibo ottima, cucina curata, proprietario cortese e disponibile. Siamo capitati quasi per caso in quest’angolo verace di “barriera” e una cena squisita e a prezzi onesti ci convincerà a ritornare, anche per incoraggiare il proprietario a proseguire la sua attività di ristoratore e portare nuovi miglioramenti nel difficile mondo di quel quartiere.
