Barricata In Torino

26/01/2025: I come here often with my friends. The owner is very kind. The products are very fresh and cooked very well. Prices average. Overall a nice place, very intimate

24/01/2025: Italian above / English below -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- Trattoria Anna is truly an underrated restaurant in the center of Turin. It's easy to miss, as it's on a back street, but it truly is a hidden gem. I ordered the scampi as a starter, then the spaghetti with seafood. Both very tasty while retaining the freshness of the fish. The space itself isn't that big (I was sitting on the ground floor and didn't see how many tables were upstairs) which lends itself to a cozy atmosphere. The service was wonderful. The waitress who served me was very attentive and kind, and when (with my usual usta (translation from Ferrarese, "grace" 😅) I managed to throw a mussel directly onto my light jeans, she immediately brought me some degreaser to make sure the stain didn't stick. I highly recommend this place if you visit the center of Turin! -------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------- This is truly an underrated restaurant in downtown Turin. It's easy to miss since it is tucked away in a secondary street, but it is absolutely a hidden treasure. I had the scampi as an appetizer, then the spaghetti allo scoglio, both of which were packed with flavor while also preserving the freshness of the fish. The space itself isn't that big (I was seated on the ground floor, but I didn't see how much seating there was upstairs) which lends to a cozy atmosphere. The service was wonderful; the waitress who served me was very attentive and polite, and when (with my usual grace) I managed to throw a mussel directly on my light jeans, she immediately brought me some de-greaser to make sure the stain didn't stick. Highly recommend this spot if you visit downtown Turin!
