Caffè Floreale In Torino

03/01/2026: The Norman cubo, a thin brioche with pistachio cream, is simple and delicious. Coffee is served with a small glass of sparkling water. A little away from the crowds, it's a lovely spot for a snack.

16/12/2025: About 8 months ago a group of us had our monthly meeting at this particular cafe. The ratings are from that visit. In general we found a philosophical disconnect. The service and prices seemed to target high end customers while at least the café offerings (not meals) and the decor were reminiscent of Las Vegas casinos. At the same time, the customers who were there when we visited were few and were all demonstrable working class locals or tourists. --- Coming forward to 15/12/25: We had noted some paper signs on the windows and the fact that this landmark was closed about 2 months ago. In fact it was closed on September 10, 2025. Today, finally one of us had a chance to pass by on foot. The photos are from this visit. It was still closed. According to the sign the café is in police custody. According to local news reports there's an ongoing investigation into fraud, perhaps to the tune of up to 100 million euros. Sometimes businesses come back after this kind of scrutiny and sometimes not.
