Trattoria Amicizia In Torino

I found this little place by chance and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were friendly and smiling, the location comfortable and welcoming, and the food delicious. The "cit ma bun" appetizer was truly special, an explosion of flavors and textures. Highly recommended!

A charming place...from the outside, you wouldn't think the food was excellent and unique. I recommend it.

This is a popular trattoria in the populous Madonna di Campagna neighborhood, offering a small but interesting menu of Piedmontese cuisine, partially revisited and using quality ingredients. There are essentially three options from the à la carte menu: a single dish for €16; Cit ma bun + 1 dish for €28; and the Table Set Menu (appetizers, first course, and second course) for €38. We (there were 4 of us) ordered (after enjoying the free entree, fried agnolotti with sauce; I don't remember exactly): 2 Cit ma buns + 1 dish (€56). The Cit ma bun consists of small bites of veal with tuna sauce, raw Fassone beef, pappa al pomodoro, Russian salad (I wasn't thrilled with it, it was a bit flavorful and too runny), and crostini with cod and herbs, an overall original and pleasant dish. 2 individual dishes (€32): excellent Eggs Benedict with brioche bread, eggplant hummus, poached egg, hollandaise sauce, and 3 (including those from the €28 menu) delicious portions of Torinese: prime cut of Fassona beef breaded in breadsticks, carrot ketchup, brown sauce, and hollandaise sauce. 2 desserts (€14): two generous portions of figs, ricotta, and hazelnuts. To accompany the dinner, good bread, water, and a good Dolcetto DOC wine cost €24 (there's a small wine list) for a total of € 166. We actually should have paid €142, but we were mistakenly charged 4 Cit ma buns. The cuisine is tasty and delicate, the prices are overall balanced, the atmosphere welcoming, the service efficient, kind, and attentive, and we even had a pleasant chat with the young chef Kevin. My only comment, coming from a glutton, is to better calibrate the portions (starters and desserts first and foremost), which frankly are excessively small, not typical of a generous trattoria. Finally, mistakes in the bill (it shouldn't be, but...) can happen, and we only noticed it at home. In any case, in its genre, it's certainly a trattoria worth trying (and I recommend booking). To sum up: Ambience (8): Welcoming with a nice atmosphere Food quality (8): Good cuisine with restaurant-like ambition Food quantity (6): Excessively minimalist portions Food presentation (8): Attentive and above average "from Trattoria” Waiting times (8): Averagely short when the restaurant is full Service (9): Friendly staff, willing to explain the dishes Cleanliness (9): Nothing to complain about based on what we saw Menu (7): Traditional Piedmontese dishes, moderately well-revisited. The wine list could be improved with the addition of a few labels and tasting options by the glass Price (8): Overall, in line with mid-range dining Parking (6): Not easy in the area, but manageable with patience

Quiet place, excellent food, excellent service. Chef Kevin, shy but brilliant.

A charming trattoria with truly talented staff. The dishes are high-quality and offer unique flavors. The sommelier is kind, professional, and knows exactly what to recommend. Thank you for the culinary experiences you offer your customers!

A good restaurant with excellent, tasty, and quite refined dishes. Very friendly and attentive service. Good value for money. The atmosphere is informal and pleasant. I highly recommend it.

Truly spectacular food. We decided to have lunch here for our wedding.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE! I'll be back again and again and again.

We've eaten at Trattoria Amicizia four times in the last four years. The first time we visited was in the fall of 2021 after reading that it had won the Best Piola 2021 award in the "I cento di Torino" guide. I must say, we've always had a great time, bringing friends who have always appreciated the food, the ambience, and the value for money. The last time we went was on Friday, July 18th, and we were a bit disappointed compared to the quality and quantity we were used to. I think we had a bad night, because while I would have given it 5 stars without a problem before, the way we ate last time I can't give it more than 3. The five appetizers were good, but I wasn't crazy about the suckling pig in teriyaki sauce. It was a bit stringy, and it was accompanied by a pleasant but sparse salad, inexplicably meant to be shared with the other person who had the same dish. I then saw on their Facebook page that they were closed on July 19th and 20th due to an external catering service: I fear this may have affected the quality and quantity of the previous day's dishes... I'm also giving it 2 stars for the atmosphere because, despite the small crowd (which is very strange, as it was always packed the other times), the place was extremely noisy, especially because there was a table for 8 people, and some people were literally shouting. The service, on the other hand, is always very attentive and courteous.

We ate very well! Well done!!!!
