Plin & Tajarin In Torino

Plin e Tajarin in Turin: where cooking is fun and food becomes emotion There are places that aren't simply restaurants, but true "places to be," and Plin e Tajarin in Turin is exactly that. It's a unique, intimate, and welcoming place, seating just 16. The reason for this limited number is clear as soon as you enter: here, cooking is synonymous with the joy of good food, made of authentic and exciting flavors; the owner, Mr. Mario, deeply enjoys what he does, and this is conveyed through every detail of the restaurant. For its quality and experience, it deserves a Michelin star, but perhaps that would almost be an insult to a restaurant like this, which cares nothing for labels and ceremony, but only for providing genuine emotions. Since there were four of us, we made a strategic choice that allowed us to truly sample the entire cuisine: we each ordered one menu, specifically two "Plin e Tajarin Forever" menus and two dedicated to "Nostre Carni Crude" (Our Raw Meats). The first courses are handmade with a mastery and precision worthy of those childhood memories of your mother that Mr. Mario recounts to you right at the table. The expertly selected meats are prepared with immense love, so much so that they're even served in the shape of a heart. But Mr. Mario's true greatness and professionalism are seen in the little things. Even though our menus featured odd-numbered dishes, he managed the service impeccably, ensuring that dishes were always delivered to each guest. His attention to customer service is extraordinary, putting many high-end restaurants that don't manage their tables so professionally to shame. We loved the "slow cooking" concept. The dishes arrived with perfect timing, because the goal here isn't to eat at a fast food restaurant, but to live an experience, taking the right amount of time to enjoy it. It was a wonderful lunch, and now we're just waiting for the kind gift he promised: the plin booklet! Thanks for everything, Mario, see you soon, and keep up the good work!

A place unlike any other... A friend's living room where you're welcomed and pampered with attention. Seating is definitely limited, so the evening remains intimate and you can chat in a normal tone of voice without leaving with a headache, as happens in too many places these days. The cuisine is artisanal and meticulously prepared. The decor is very, very personal. Thank you for the wonderful evening and all the attention you received!

An experience that stimulates sight and taste, a small museum with just a few tables where even the dishes are works of art, all accompanied by the impeccable Mr. Mario! Congratulations 👏

Wonderful experience. A unique place, with a friendly and welcoming owner. The food was excellent, and the portions were just right. We'll be back next time we're in Turin.

A truly pleasant experience; we stumbled upon this very typical "living room" restaurant almost by chance. We were immediately greeted by the owner's very kind presence, and we sampled typical Piedmontese dishes. We couldn't help but give it 5 stars for the courtesy and service!

We had a really good time: excellent food, attentive service, you can tell Mario is a warm person and we thank him. We will definitely be back.

A top-notch experience. If you're looking for a place where you can feel (literally) at home, then this restaurant is for you. The welcome from Mario and his colleagues was sublime and set the scene for a fantastic evening of Plin and Tajarin. The quality of the food is superb, the portions are just right, and the pairings are spot-on. If you're in Turin, you can't miss this place.

On Friday evening, we had the pleasure of dining at this restaurant. What can I say? It was a pleasant surprise, and we were very satisfied with the entire experience. We were welcomed warmly and kindly by Mr. Mario, the soul behind the restaurant's art and the restaurant itself. It was like being in the living room of a home. We felt pampered. Service like this isn't even available in a Michelin-starred restaurant (and we've tried some!). The best plin ever. I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants to experience traditional flavors without leaving home. My warmest compliments to Mr. Mario and the entire staff.

Exceptional selection of products, delicious food, discreet but impeccable service! Really happy!

A top-notch restaurant. We were greeted and served by what I believe to be the owner, and promptly. The plin and tajarin were simply excellent (the tajarin with anchovies and toasted bread was wonderful). A hidden gem. A wonderful discovery.
