01/03/2026: I chose Piano 35 with naturally high expectations, given that it's a Michelin-starred restaurant and such a well-known address in Turin. The experience, however, was overall below my expectations.
The quality of the ingredients is unquestionable: fresh, well-selected, and of excellent quality. Unfortunately, however, the technique and preparation failed to fully showcase them. In more than one course, I felt the execution was correct but lacking in flair, with flavors that weren't punchy and pairings that didn't truly enhance the product.
Some courses lacked balance in flavor, and in a couple of cases, the technique was almost nonexistent. For example, in our case, we opted for the "Giro d'Italia" menu, and the artichoke alla giudia was cold, salty, and even very rubbery. I'm not a chef, but I'm certain that dish isn't worthy of a Michelin star.
In a context of this caliber, one expects the cuisine to transform excellent ingredients into a memorable experience. Here, however, the result was good, but not thrilling.
The location remains evocative and the service "fairly" professional, but from a gastronomic standpoint, I expected more personality and depth.
07/02/2026: Last night my wife and I decided to treat ourselves a bit and we chose Piano 35 and we were not wrong. The service is impeccable, all the dishes are, in addition to being perfectly presented, with flavors that are at times traditional but excellent and at times surprising. The bio-climatic greenhouse and the view from the panoramic north terrace make the evening more than a dinner, a real experience to be enjoyed. Last but not least, the restaurant manager deserves an additional mention for his elegant preparation, presence and professionalism. All the staff made us feel at home from the moment we entered the reception until we left, leaving us with a memory of a memorable evening that we will definitely repeat, even during the lunch break as recommended. The price is high but absolutely justified by the overall service offered.
