Tabacchi Bar San Carlo In San carlo canavese

02/06/2025: I stopped for a drink. It was late and they served it to me in a plastic cup with nothing to accompany it.

01/06/2025: We went to this cocktail bar bistro in the Borgo Crimea area of ​​Turin for an aperitif with friends, and the experience was definitely pleasant. The place is very beautiful, well-kept and clean, with a modern-industrial style that creates a welcoming but contemporary atmosphere. We enjoyed a selection of well-made tapas, perfect to accompany the cocktails. We tried the Carlina, the Mole and the Valentino. I must say that the taste was balanced and definitely interesting. The fried foods were dry and well-made, while, in my personal taste, I found the amount of pesto on the caprese tapas with crispy wafer a bit excessive. One star, however, goes to the freshness of the ingredients used. Nothing compromising, but a detail to be reviewed for an even better balance. The service was courteous and attentive, with welcoming staff. We booked a table in the outdoor area on Corso Moncalieri, quiet and pleasant. A plus: the comfortable chairs, a detail often overlooked, but here much appreciated. Even though there weren't many people for a Saturday night, the atmosphere was still pleasant. Ideal for a relaxed evening with friends, perhaps sipping a good drink away from the chaos.
