Caffe-Vini Emilio Ranzini In Torino

A true hidden gem with an authentic, old-world atmosphere. Caffè Vini Emilio Ranzini is the perfect place to enjoy a glass of wine, a classic aperitivo, or simply soak in the local character. The staff are welcoming, the selection of wines is excellent, and the historic charm makes it feel like stepping back in time. A wonderful spot to experience a genuine piece of Turin’s café culture. Highly recommended!

It's an old-fashioned tavern; everything was fine, and thanks to Valentina and Furio.

An old-school place where you can have a drink and a bite to eat, even alone, because the sociability of the atmosphere makes you feel part of the moment.

Wonderful tapas and service! I'll definitely be back!

The small inner courtyard was a welcome sight during the heatwave. The sandwich was huge and generously filled for the price. The tapas were good and inexpensive; we came for a quick lunch, but the atmosphere was much more lively in the evening.

Caffe' Vini Emilio Ranzini is the kind of place that hasn't changed in decades, and long may it stay that way. This tiny, no-frills "piola", i.e. traditional, rustic, and popular tavern or wine bar, is popular among locals and tourists alike. And for good reason. The space is small: a handful of tables inside, a few more in a little courtyard out back. No table service: you order at the bar, grab your wine, and they'll bring the food over when it's ready. No fuss, no ceremony. If you need a table, just ask; if the place is full, you wait. Be ready to share a table with strangers who will soon become new friends. No reservations accepted. The wine is cheap and comes in civilized formats: by the glass, or by the quarter, half, or full liter of vino sfuso. The small bites run €2–3 each and are exactly what you want with a glass of wine: simple, honest, and satisfying. The anchovy tartine are the house classic and fully deserve their reputation. Try the spinach friciulin (a fried dough with spinach and cheese that's quietly excellent) and the meatballs are genuinely tasty. A few things to know before you go: the bathroom is "alla turca"(squat toilet), and they don't serve Spritz. If that's a dealbreaker, this is probably not your spot. If you're ok with it, welcome to old Turin.

Excellent place, great atmosphere, and top-notch staff... Delicious local products. The vermouth is incredible.

A magical place that's remained unchanged since ancient times. House wine, appetizers, and the staff are always very friendly.

Young yet traditional. Good white wine and polpette. Good prices.

A hidden gem! A charming café. We had a light meal: crostini (€2) and vitello tonnato (€5). Everything was delicious, including the espresso! They also have a good selection of local wines. Highly recommended if you're in Turin!
