La Curva del Tabachin In Ala di stura

A homey experience and very good traditional cuisine, unfortunately ruined by the final bill. The two of us spent €50 for an appetizer, a first course, and a glass of wine each, plus fried mushrooms, which further increased the bill. The fact that we were clearly tourists passing through probably prompted the cashier to add that extra 15%, otherwise I can't explain all the locals there. The cover charge was also disappointing: €2 per person for paper placemats and cutlery to keep for the entire dinner. Good quality, but the prices were truly excessive compared to expectations. It's our fault for not asking the prices beforehand, but it leaves a bitter taste in my mouth. I'm increasingly less confident in stopping to dine out when I travel around Northern Italy.

Friendly staff, clean and tidy place. Excellent iced coffee with added liqueur!

Go to Curva del Tabacchin if you want to feel at home. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the food is excellent. We'll be back.
