La Barriera Trattoria In Torino

Always good food and a fantastic welcome for us and our four-legged friend.

Maronn’ what devastating paccheri

Salt cod in batter with chickpea puree was delicious. We had a wonderful evening.

Incredible, the best food we ate in Torino. It is a small, unassuming place with hearty and authentic dishes at a very good price. It is clean and welcoming, and was refreshing to be at a calm and clean restaurant. We enjoyed the food so much that we wanted to go again if it was open. For starters we had the Paccheri Puttanesca and the Agnolotti - these were delicious. I usually don’t like filled pasta but the Agnolotti were great, and the Paccheri wonderfully done. For mains we had the roasted Agnello (lamb) and Maialino (suckling pig). These were simple and amazing. The lamb was tender and accompanied by roasted potatoes soaked in the lamb flavours. The pig was delicious, you could really taste the bay leaves which made it a bit sweet. For dessert we had a tiramisu and panna cotta with forest fruits, both were great. The panna cotta was one of the best I ever tasted, and clearly homemade. The tiramisu as well, even though I usually don’t like coffee in sweets it was a perfect balance. For drinks we had water which was included in the coperto, and some white house wine which was delicious and refreshing. Total for all this including wine and coperto was just €65. Highly recommend. The service was also great throughout, we were seated quickly and served in a timely manner. Though service was not so fast, it is clear that it is a small, local business and nothing to complain about. By the end we were cracking jokes with the owner and chef even though our Italian was limited. The only downside was the heat - there is no air conditioning or fan inside so it got quite warm. But this is something we observed everywhere, not just at this one restaurant. Get a hand fan with you to make do.

First time, while waiting to choose the house-offered aperitif menu. Good service and a very friendly and polite waiter. Food served to everyone at the same time. The wait between courses was adequate, everything was good, and the portions were not sparse. The price was like many others. Good food, and plates were emptied properly. Well done, we'll be back. For me ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Excellent Italian trattoria, the myrtle-sauced suckling pig and the roast lamb were a surprise. The staff were friendly and welcoming. The prices were fair considering the quality.

A casual yet delicious place with generous portions and friendly service. We tried it on a Sunday, had a great time, and loved everything. The prices were excellent considering the quality and quantity of the six dishes. I recommend booking because there are only a few tables.
