Il Portico In Caselle torinese

03/05/2026: This restaurant is located on Lake Candia, right by the water. Seating is available both inside and outside on a large terrace. There's also a garden area on the lakeshore where aperitifs are served (even for those who won't be dining at the restaurant). Everything is meticulously maintained, and the view of the lake, especially at sunset, is enchanting. Returning to the restaurant: the menu focuses on seafood and isn't extensive, but emphasizes quality and seasonality (the scardovari mussels are exceptional, when available). The catch of the day is always available off-menu (we caught an excellent turbot). But overall, everything I've tried is of excellent quality, workmanship, and presentation. The classic raw seafood (scampi, shrimp) and oysters are also available. I saw a paella pass by and thought it was excellent in appearance and preparation. I'll be back soon to try it. The menu also features meat-based dishes (including pasta dishes and cuts of meat that are definitely worth trying). The wine list is very interesting, including selections from niche local producers (Erbaluce and Passito). The service is very efficient, passionate, and courteous. Prices are absolutely reasonable considering the quality. In short, an excellent restaurant (without a doubt the best in the area for seafood) in a charming location. Highly recommended.
