Il Martinetto In Torino

A small restaurant that's reminiscent of old-fashioned trattorias, but is actually a restaurant. Tables are beautifully set and the smell of freshly cooked food fills the air as soon as you enter (the kitchen is right there...). The plin with roast gravy is delicious, the braised beef cooked in excellent wine is delicious, and the veal cheek is excellent. The purée with celeriac is a real treat. The gratin onion soup is also good, but it's not comparable to French-style soup. The only dessert chosen from the three offered was a dark chocolate gianduiotto, which was mouth-watering. The sauce on top was missing, which was unintentionally added, but if I'm not mistaken, it was zabaglione (too bad...). The staff was helpful and attentive. The only downside (but you can survive it) was the spoon added later, placed on the left. It's not done... If the place is full, the tables are very close together. Still recommended.

This is a restaurant serving traditional Piedmontese cuisine, albeit with a modern twist. The restaurant overlooks a quiet street just a few meters from Via San Donato. The atmosphere is intimate and refined. I appreciated the background music, but you have to be lucky to get a table, because if you're near a group of rowdy friends, you can say goodbye to the lovely atmosphere (the restaurant isn't very large). The dishes are good, but the prices are a bit too high for what's on the menu. Perhaps the markup on a single glass of wine should also be reconsidered, as I find it excessive (almost the same as a single course, and believe me, I didn't order a glass of Barolo or Barbaresco). It's certainly not an incentive to order a bottle, but it's a serious limitation for someone like me who sometimes finds himself in the company of people who, unfortunately, don't like wine. The same goes for desserts (€9). Finally, the restaurant adopts a double-shift system, which divides the evening service into two pre-set time slots. Personally, I don't like having limited time at the table and would like to be left free to enjoy the meal and chat endlessly, even if this allows the restaurant owner to double the number of customers served in an evening while keeping operating costs virtually unchanged. In short, a good restaurant, but I expected more for the quality/price ratio.

A small but warm and welcoming place from the moment you enter. The veal with tuna sauce and mushroom ravioli were my favorites. The service was quick and impeccable. The prices are quite reasonable, given the excellent quality.

Martinet is located on a narrow street near Corso Regina Margherita. From the outside, it may seem small, but inside, it surprises with its welcoming and elegant atmosphere and authentic Piedmontese atmosphere. The menu is varied yet solid, firmly rooted in tradition, with some variations that enrich the dishes without distorting them. The creamed cod with polenta sticks is excellent, balanced and delicate, but the most impressive dish is the mezzé paccheri cooked in bagna cauda: intense, enveloping, and very distinctive, without being heavy. The staff is helpful and knowledgeable, and the prices are in keeping with the quality and setting. The wine list is also interesting, offering a truly excellent value. Recommended for a quality dinner with friends or for an important occasion.

Impeccable service and high quality food

We had the opportunity to celebrate New Year's Eve here and it was a very pleasant experience! The atmosphere was pleasant, the staff very friendly, and the food was excellent. The wine pairing was particularly well chosen; we really enjoyed the rosé. We will definitely be back.

Intimate, elegant, and welcoming atmosphere, excellent cuisine, and attention to detail. Very friendly staff.

Excellent experience, attentive and kind staff, suitable environment for both a romantic dinner and a lunch with friends, quality of dishes and raw materials above average, I will definitely return

Perfect lunch with great service and good wine

Very nice place, good food, and perfect service (they even called us to bring forward our second-round reservation, which was much appreciated). Prices are a bit high, in my opinion, making it difficult to repeat the dinner easily. If it were twenty euros less per person, I would definitely have returned many times! Recommended.
