Cantine Barbaroux In Torino

21/06/2025: Old-fashioned bowling alley, complete with billiards, hidden among the houses. Good food at reasonable prices.

02/04/2025: It's a bowls club and as such you can't expect 3 Michelin star food but still not bad. Having arrived on an evening when the place was packed (there must have been 100/120 people) the food was baked all together, with the same times for all the tables, with pre-established courses (fixed menu and not à la carte). This helped, and not a little, the speed of the service: within a couple of hours everyone had already finished or was doing an encore. Excellent thing to optimize times. Let's say that with the place so full the space to move was minimal, if not non-existent (tables nested together like Tetris). Maybe in spring/summer, with the tables outside, the outdoor area, the bowling alley and the billiards it's a completely different thing. Several appetizers, a single first course, a second course and a side dish. Decent, right quality/price. The house wine (both white and red) was so-so. The beers were better but they ran out halfway through the evening for everyone: perhaps it was better to stock up given the amount of guests. The dishes are almost all good. Some are overcooked, others are raw, but in 90% of cases they are cooked correctly. On the other hand, when you cook in a "batch" for an army of people, something can happen to go wrong. Perhaps better organization, especially regarding drinking supplies, would help. Otherwise it was a wonderful evening. The staff is friendly, kind and punctual in all your requests. 25 euro fixed menu for adults, 15 euro fixed menu for children. Fair, honest price for what is offered to you during the evening.
