Focacceria Pizzeria Sant'Agostino In Torino

07/08/2025: We returned after a while and were really pleased to find some nice new features. It's clear there's a desire to grow the place without compromising its character: you can still feel the authenticity of Savoy that won us over the first time. We really enjoyed the seasonal dishes, especially the fish: the mixed fried fish was incredibly fresh, plentiful, and perfectly crispy. The anchovies in green sauce were worthy of applause, as was the veal with tuna, made the old-fashioned way, with a soft and flavorful sauce—nothing like the dry, "simply" versions found elsewhere. The changes are noticeable, revealing a lot of effort behind them (we also learned that the entire professional kitchen has been renovated). In short, a place where you eat well, with passion, and where you'll always want to return.

06/08/2025: The overall impression, unfortunately, is of a place in a declining phase, so to speak. It's a shame, because the staff would be there for everyone, including the decidedly strategic location in the Crocetta neighborhood, with a lively atmosphere all around. Instead, the trattoria isn't particularly impressive, it's not attractive. The outdoor seating is rather meager; the five breadsticks in their industrial plastic containers are unsightly; the glass of Prosecco is almost undrinkable. At the table, despite its ups and downs, the Russian salad holds up admirably, fresh and well-crafted; the anchovies served with grilled bread and a good green sauce are equally good; the raspberry risotto is poor, and there's no appeal in placing two of them prominently in the middle of the plate. Perhaps it wasn't the right evening. However, in my opinion, it could use a good refresh, a boost of enthusiasm. I say this with affection and gratitude because this trattoria is a place of the heart, of tradition, and of the good old days that I hope will return soon. The bill, as is now customary almost everywhere, is quite steep.
