Lucio d'la Venaria In Venaria reale

Fantastic experience For our anniversary after visiting the Royal Palace, we went to this restaurant. When booking, I requested the option of having a red rose for my wife at the table... and here are the photos... with a delightful surprise at the end: the dessert and the plate decorated by them with the phrase "Happy Anniversary." You can immediately sense the special atmosphere of the place. My sincere compliments to the entire restaurant staff, always present but never intrusive... attentive to every detail with impeccable and truly delicate service. The restaurant is located right in the square in front of the Royal Palace. I'm not posting photos of the dishes simply because there's no reason to publicize them, as they are sublime... I invite you to try them if you're in the area; you won't regret it. Thank you so much again for your attention. I look forward to hearing from you.

Fine location. Helpful, friendly, and attentive staff. I really noticed the cleanliness and elegance of the uniforms, all identical, a custom that is unfortunately being lost even in high-end establishments. For an amuse-bouche, they served a savory amaretto with Toma fondue, with a distinct herbal flavor. Next came the baked goods, which I found excellent. Honey and buckwheat bread, breadsticks, and streusel tongues. The latter, which I tried for the first time, were truly sublime. Thin and fragrant. The citrus butter served with the baked goods was excellent. I began my meal with shrimp, orange, potatoes, and pumpkin puree. A dish with various delicate and sweet elements that clashed and paired well with the tart, citrusy notes of the raw orange. My only complaint was that there was too much orange on the plate compared to the rest of the dish. I continued sharing tagliolini and truffle risotto with my companion, along with swordfish fusillone, octopus cbt, and mushroom stew. The tagliolini were excellent, but the risotto was on another level. The best dish of the evening. Perfectly cooked and creamed, then the top-quality truffle completed an already technically perfect dish. The fusillone was delicious. First and foremost, the quality and, once again, the cooking of the pasta itself, then the sauce or emulsion that bound the dish together was fantastic. The aromatic notes of the pine nuts and the sweetness of the raisins were excellent. The swordfish released its flavor into the dish in a moderate and appropriate way, not overpowering but still complementing. Finishing with the crunchy note of the aromatic bread. The octopus cbt was unforgettable. Amazingly cooked. Crispy on the outside, so tender and soft on the inside that it melted in the mouth. Without a doubt, the best slow-cooked octopus I've ever tasted. Then came the mushroom stew. This mushroom sauce is the base, followed by toma fondue spikes, the same as the amuse-bouche, and roasted potatoes. The roasted potato is the real highlight, both in terms of presentation and tasting. The dish is overall beautifully savory, yet delicious. For dessert, we tried sweet ricotta and blue cheese panna cotta. The blue cheese panna cotta was unique and excellent. I also really enjoyed the candied celery, with its fresh notes. The blue cheese is noticeable, and is undoubtedly the main ingredient, but it doesn't steal the show from the panna cotta and the rest of the toppings. I would see this dish as a perfect complement to dessert, not as a replacement. I would include it in place of the cheese platter, which isn't needed here, but it helps to show where I think this dish finds its place. The sweet ricotta with peaches and dark chocolate, on the other hand, is a well-balanced and tasty dessert. To finish, coffee and some cookies, which I enjoyed so much that I bought a pack to take home. During the meal, we drank a full-bodied, sparkling white wine, Alta Langa DOCG, mostly Chardonnay, extra brut. It's my first time trying this wine, and it's excellent. The quality/price ratio is excellent. I'll definitely be back.

A pleasant discovery just steps from the Royal Palace. The place is beautiful, and the table service was excellent, both attentive and courteous. Above all, the value for money was excellent, with delicious, well-executed dishes at a truly fair price for these days. We'd definitely return.

A truly high-quality restaurant with top-notch dishes. The welcome is friendly and discreet. The dining room is spacious, quiet, and discreet. A tasting menu or à la carte options are available. The dishes are explained. Everything is delicious.

The atmosphere and staff are refined. The Maître d', who has worked there the longest, was very professional and pleasant in explaining the various dishes and pairings. If you want a guarantee and want to make a great impression on friends or partners, come here!

After feasting on history and culture, after visiting the Palace of Venaria, we headed to this restaurant, Il Convitto della Venaria, to savor a taste of Piedmontese culinary tradition. From appetizers to dessert, we were guided by the experience and professionalism of the staff, including the wine selection. The atmosphere was elegant, the quality excellent, and it's a place we'll definitely return to for lunch or just for a quick bite to eat.

First time at this restaurant, thanks to a gift from friends who already knew it. From the location to the food to the staff, everything was top-notch. The best dish? It was hard to choose—we had a tasting menu with matching wines, but if I had to choose, the egg with porcini mushroom cream was the one. We promised ourselves we'd return in the spring/summer, taking advantage of a visit to the Royal Palace to have lunch on their outdoor terrace.

The food was good but not extraordinary, and overpriced. The restaurant is located opposite the palace...

For our anniversary, we treated ourselves to a tour of the Reggia di Venaria. An elegant restaurant, impeccable service, and excellent food. Congratulations to everyone! We highly recommend it! Vittoria and Raffaele

Good service, the starters and main courses were really excellent. However, the desserts were not up to my expectations: the tiramisu had (too much) coffee, and the ricotta was not very generous. Only the bunet left a great impression on me, I really loved it!
