Ristorante Carignano In Torino

Suffice it to say that the dishes are all created by chefs. I don't know how many restaurants can boast this......

This is a well-known restaurant in Turin. As it is listed in the Michelin Guide, it is likely that reservations are very difficult to make. Please make arrangements early. The reservation page is also available in English. I installed software called TheFork on my mobile phone to make reservations at restaurants in Turin, but sometimes the communication was delayed or there was no reply, and the restaurant would tell me that I was not booked. If this happens, you may not be able to have dinner if you make a reservation close to closing time, so please be careful. The following explanation on the reservation page about families with children clearly shows the restaurant's attitude. "Children of all ages are our valued guests However, we kindly ask parents to consider the suitability of attending with their children a dinner that typically lasts about two and a half hours. We do not offer a specific children's menu, but for children under 14 attending the dinner, it is possible to request a selection of dishes from the tasting menu or choose dishes from the menu of our bistro. It is mandatory to inform us of the presence of children at the time of booking to help us create an enjoyable evening for all guests, including our younger ones."

Beautiful experience! A 20-year culinary journey by chef Scabin, offering his main dishes. Excellent service and friendly and knowledgeable dining room staff. In total we spent about 300 euros per person without wine.

Unfortunately Scabin seems to have exhausted his creative streak, or more likely the desire to carry it forward. The current menu is almost entirely a re-proposal of dishes already seen and enjoyed at Combal. Good? Undoubtedly. But from a genius like that, with whom I have had some of the best dinners of my life, one expects much more than a mere, honestly lazy revival of his classics. Or if you want to propose them, that's fine, but as an alternative to a much more ambitious tasting.
