Caffe-Vini Emilio Ranzini In Torino

Historic Piola with easygoing service...very friendly. Traditional Piedmontese dishes and sandwiches.

Finding this place has been a highlight of my trip, and one of the best bars I’ve been in Europe. The place is cozy, fairly priced and good, the environment is full of locals who are very welcoming and the staff is kind and responsive. Ordering the Barbena 1/2 L and the farmaggio were awesome decisions since the selection is amazing and the wine taste is so good. We went there 3 nights in a row in our stay into Turin and I’ll probably never get tired of telling friends to go visit and hang out there.

Good food and friendly atmosphere.

Every time I return to Turin, this is a must-visit. The food is good. The atmosphere is wonderful, typical of an old wine bar where you can enjoy a glass of wine accompanied by good food, perhaps while chatting with friends.

Good food but not sure it was worth the stress and crowd to get an order through. Needs better organization.

I had lunch at this delightful and welcoming little place in the center of Turin, and it was a pleasant discovery. I enjoyed an excellent sandwich accompanied by an excellent glass of wine. The staff was very welcoming, and the menu is rich and varied. It's a truly unique place, where time seems to have stood still. Despite its limited seating and small size, it's extremely welcoming.

A true dive into Piedmontese cuisine and culture! Cozy, traditional spot with friendly, multitasking staff, serving the great classics of Piedmontese cooking: simple, delicious, and perfect for every intimate occasion or with friends!

It's all incredibly authentic. A place that identifies Turin and reflects its history as a vibrant city, yet steadfast in its convictions. In this space, I see the spirit of "bugia nen" (literally, "little lie") represented. I love their friciulin (fried pasta) and their meatballs, and the comings and goings of people from all walks of life.

I'm very keen to write this review because Emilio Ranzini is my favorite place in Turin, and ever since we discovered it, every time we're in the city we've been forced to stop for food and drinks. Last night, as always, we ate and drank divinely. Unfortunately, however, and the reason I'm giving it a 4-star review, the guy at the bar (whom we'd never met before) was decidedly rude and unwelcoming. On several occasions, rude and unnerving comments were made or responses were given, including, when ordering the third liter of wine, "Are you finished yet?!? Not the best way to endear yourself to a bartender." The other two girls, whom we'd met before, were always nice and kind! I hope to return soon and find myself in the relaxed and pleasant atmosphere that Emilio Ranzini and the girls who run it always provided for me until last night.
