Caffè San Carlo In Torino

A historic café with beautiful decor, perfect after a morning visit to the Galleria del Italia next door. The cappuccino was excellent, and the pastry was one of the best I've ever eaten!

This is a long-established coffee shop located in Piazza San Carlo. The interior design of the store is profound and it is worth seeing, so please come and visit us. This restaurant is popular among tourists.

5 star location. And a note of excellence in viennoiserie. So far everything is almost perfect, but there is a negative note: the 33% increase in prices from one day to the next not justified by a corresponding change in offer. Croissants increased from 3.5 to 4 euros, but this would still be acceptable because they are artisanal products, but what is unacceptable is the increase in cappuccino from 3.5 to 5 euros, without there being any apparently justifiable reason, for example an increase in quantity (larger cup) or quality (selected coffee blends or particular milk). I believe that this choice is wicked and will certainly have negative consequences on the attendance of the regular local clientele, to which I belong. Unfortunately they won't see me again.

Imagine crossing a small staircase and projecting yourself into the past, in a place where time has stopped, where history is shown to you step by step, with images on the walls, from frescoes to statues. In this place, elegance reigns supreme but above all the excellence of the products. I always order the Carlo, a wonderful revisited toast where fontina and cooked meat reign supreme, and immediately after a Carla, a wonderful high-end pastry dessert that will give you the opportunity not to miss the classics of our wonderful Italy. The environment is clean, but a sore point is that the service at the tables needs to be improved, too agitated on the part of the service staff and too superficial in listening to the customer. I recommend a dining room maitre d', as the location requires it, because years of history, class but above all excellence, cannot be diminished. I 100% recommend it to try. #strawhat

Nice place to have breakfast in Turin. The place inside is a fairy tale and takes you back to the Turin of the Risorgimento. The pistachio “Scrigno” was one of the best brioches I have ever tried. The staff was kind and excellent value for money. Highly recommended. Being a photographer I focus a lot on light and framing so I am also attaching some shots. I would like to collaborate with them for a photo shoot.

Among the best places in Turin for breakfast, exceptional pastries full of fillings, even if some are not very easy to eat if you are careful not to get dirty (but there are mirrors everywhere, you can control yourself if you have this fear).

Lunch: ordered a Carlo (a toasted brioche bread) with ham and cheese which turned out to be a little dry and nothing memorable and a club sandwich, which arrived cold and nothing special, much better ones eaten in Turin for less. The price for these two courses is not commensurate with the quality.

This place is amazing but I’m in grief, cause they took out of the menu one of the best pastries in the world: The Danish ai Frutti di Bosco 😭 Please being it back 🙏🏻

Gorgeous place and excellent breakfasts

Una breve attesa per un tavolo (comprensibile peraltro visto che era il 30 dicembre) o meglio per due tavolini, un po’ troppi piccoli. E’ questa l’unica nota da segnalare ma la qualità dei piatti serviti e la location è valsa la seduta non troppo comoda. Vitello tonnato, avocado toast e tartellette tutto delizioso. La bellezza della location è ulteriormente stata impreziosita dalle decorazioni natalizie che creavano un’atmosfera magica. E’ ciò che si può considerare un’esperienza da vivere se si viaggia a Torino!
