Trattoria Al 44 In Moncalieri

20/05/2025: We have already been to this little restaurant. My partner and I have an intimate and refined atmosphere. There is a menu at the entrance. Guido Perino, the chef, offers several options, the customer can choose between the à la carte menu but also with a tasting, he has three, the number of courses changes, we chose the intermediate one with 5 courses. At the number of choice he served us a nice hot focaccia and bread always prepared in-house with sourdough. The first departures are starting to arrive, an appetizer consisting of smoked trout with mountain herbs, on a bed of salad and grilled pineapple (to be honest I would never have chosen it, I changed my mind, it was delicious, the earth had a delicate but at the same time strong taste, and then the grilled pineapple is that gem that you don't expect). The second appetizer was called shrimp with peppers and green sauce, good and tasty. The first courses arrive, a fresh pasta fusillone, with cod ragù, tasty but the main course, the one that struck me was the cannelloni alla nerano, hard with ricotta and courgettes inside, with a cream of mozzarella and pepper and with mussels. Very good is an understatement to describe the emotion that it gave me when I ate it. The second course instead, we asked for a beef stew with green beans and dark chocolate for my partner and I took a grilled octopus with aubergines, buffalo cream and caramelised figs, this was out of this world. The end could not be missed and we chose the cream puff filled with chantilly with chocolate sauce. All good.

20/05/2025: My boyfriend and I went to eat dinner and we had a great time! We took the 5-course menu and each one was better than the other, with quality ingredients and carefully chosen combinations. A well-kept and tidy place in the center of Turin. If you want to discover flavors and eat well, this is the right place. The owner is a kind and courteous person. We will definitely be back, highly recommended
