The sign is barely visible from the road, but in the spacious dining room on the first floor of the building, Irene and Mary welcome you with classic Piedmontese specialties.
The atmosphere is spartan but welcoming and clean, and the service is essential, fast, and friendly.
Both lunchtime and evening meals are available: a first course, a second course with side dish, and dessert, all at relatively low prices.
The quality and authenticity of the food reflects home-style cooking, simple and essential.
I recently had the opportunity to appreciate this restaurant during a convivial dinner organized by the Turin branch of the National Association of the Granatieri di Sardegna.
It's easy to find parking on the main road, but it's a little harder to climb the external stairs that lead to the premises.
