Il pacchero In Giaveno

08/03/2025: The pizza isn't bad and the place is nice too, shame about the burnt bottom and the dimly lit interior. Overall, though, it's okay.

02/03/2025: Today, for my birthday, I chose this restaurant and I'm really happy about it. The place is welcoming and well looked after, and the staff was very kind and very professional. When they saw the cake I had brought, they immediately recognized the pastry chef (one of the best in Turin), a detail that struck me. The Hally pizza was a real surprise: it is not the classic pizza, but a creation studied down to the smallest detail to find the right balance between ingredients, flavour, consistency and aesthetics. The result? A unique and truly fascinating pizza. Another dish that I absolutely recommend is the mixed fry. The portion is generous and includes a large variety of seafood, which is already a plus. But the real peculiarity is the batter: well seasoned, crunchy and perfectly adhering to the ingredients, a rarity compared to many other places where it tends to fall apart or feel heavy. Plus, the addition of fried vegetables helps balance everything. The steak was huge, perhaps too huge, but the quality of the meat was excellent and the price was definitely affordable. The orecchiette were also very good, both in taste and presentation. We also got the fries, but after all these courses we couldn't finish them. Note of merit for the spicy sauce made from olive oil and habanero pepper, truly exceptional. Finally, for my birthday, they offered us two glasses of a slightly alcoholic drink similar to muscat, whose name I unfortunately don't remember, but which was very pleasant.
