Raffaello 5 In Torino

A distant wisdom, in the kitchen, meets a lively welcome

An unforgettable evening of dinner in Turin, with chef Moreno Grossi in the kitchen, who at 86 knows how to amaze with his dishes. Perhaps not "photogenic" (today, too much attention is paid to image), but crafted with flavor, balance, and a celebration of the raw ingredients. A whitebait frittata, fruit salad with scampi, prawns with the freshest zucchini, fabulous zucchini blossoms with seirass, tortelloni with champagne and strawberry sauce, a delicate salt-baked sea bass, a roast of prized Calvana beef, and finally a cherry dessert. There's no written or written menu, but the chef prepares and offers dishes based on market supplies. The dining room is coordinated with professionalism and courtesy by two of the chef's excellent assistants. We let ourselves be led by the hand by this fireworks artist (how rare they are nowadays, alas) and the hours fly by while we delight our palate and Moreno Grossi captivates us with his anecdotes of a Turin that once saw sitting at his restaurant, La Smarrita, among others, the lawyer Gianni Agnelli, his brother Dr. Umberto, Luca Cordero, and all that elegant bourgeoisie now extinct. An evening that will remain in our hearts.

A very warm welcome from Moreno, a great chef but not only that... he accompanied me and enveloped me in an experience of taste, connection, warmth, and authenticity that I will never forget. Thank you, Moreno!

A friendly and seductive host, an impeccable Pygmalion of the table: thank you, Moreno, for what you still know how to offer us with talent, grace, and a hint of nostalgia! 🙏🏻

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance… and as they say, “things happen for a reason!” We were greeted by a lovely staff. The chef, a true enthusiast, came to introduce himself and present the daily menu. It was absolutely excellent. You can trust him! The service is warm and everyone is attentive to the customers' needs. I highly recommend this place.

I humbly apologize for the previous review. In my haste to write a review, I gave the service 4 stars and the overall experience 4 stars. Naturally, I gave it 5 stars for all categories.

I've always doubted that paradise could exist on earth. I think I entered it through the kitchen door!

Chef Moreno's fame precedes him, an unforgettable evening! The cuisine is excellent—trust him—and the service, thanks also to Fabiano, is impeccable. But the best part is the experience of spending an evening with Moreno, who passionately takes you on a journey through his incredible story! See you soon, Maestro ❤️

Moreno is a fantastic person. He's a brilliant chef de cuisine with a wealth of exceptional experience. He truly spoiled us (a family of about 10) throughout the entire meal with his fabulous dishes and his kind, sincere presence.
