8.5/10Hidden away but worth the visit. We were very late for our reservation but it wasn't as busy as the cafe upstairs. We ordered the snails, the agnotti pasta and the Rossini and foie gras. The snails were a little salty for our liking but both the pasta and the Rossini were excellent quality. Not the cheapest lunch but the service is good as is the food.

10/10A unique and special restaurant, in an historical palace. Once seated, you feel the intellectualism all around, with all the portrait paintings. We just tried two dishes and were very nice. Gnocchi with different types of mushrooms in a broth and a duck breast with ruibarb and damascus. Along with the bread and grissini, and as part of the service, they offered us a beet cold cream with seeds. Francesca, our host, was courteous and always aware of us. Nice experience!

10/10This restaurant is amazing!! They serve a piamonte course as well as a la carte, and the coure is worthy of a try. Wine pairing is also provided, and amazing. The ambience is not so formal but casual, and the hospitality is so nice! Every staffs are good at English, and easy to communicate with them for foreigners. The entrance is secured by a guard serson, and your name is confirmed when visiting. It would be very secured, and a reservation is mandatory.

10/10The restaurant was nicely decorated; oil painted pictures of the founders hung on the wall, with an archy ceiling and most probably a classical Turkish carpet on the floor. The service was extremely with high quality; crystal clear, white table clothes and professional waiters, smiling and informative. Italian style porcelain dishes were charming. The food we had were Piedmont style (melon soup with pieces of pork, gnocchi with meat, tartar with avakado sauce, asparagus and sunny-side egg, ribmeat… and wines, super super super. It was also great to see the evil-eye (nazar boncuğu) decoration given to the restaurant by Ayhan Sicimoglu.

10/10Very nice service, the food is Piemontese and the wine pairing is amazing! We had the 7 course meal and it was a lot of food but very good and the place is also a bit hidden so it makes it more magical. Prices are reasonable for the location and the quality, 100 percent I recommend to make a reservation and go if you are in Torino!

10/10We went to Torino for the third time in 4 months and this restaurant was the only one that made us unforgettable and wanted to taste the chef's exquisite cooking again. We have tried Cannavacciuolo Bistro. But after we have tasted more than 20 restaurants, Ristorante Circolo dei Lettori is definitely our first choice in Torino and should have a Michelin star. Unfortunately, the owner said the restaurant is located in a palace Not a restaurant in terms of Inner Italian rules. We are very sorry We strongly recommend that everyone must visit this restaurant

10/10A memorable evening. Historical palazzo. Welcoming staff and great service. The sort of place I like because the dishes were interesting and beyond what I can do at home. We will certainly return when next in Torino

9/10Restaurant in an amazing palace in the heart of Turin. The restaurant in itself doesn’t have natural light, but has its charm with portraits hanging all around. Excellent and attentive service. Delicious free entrée and local specialities. I even had a cold zabaglione mouse for a desert that was delicious. Also open wine selection was very good.

3/10We selected this restaurant as our favorite place in Florence (del cambio) was closed for the Italian vacations and based on the positive recommendation on trip advisor- huge disappointment!The restaurant is in a nice Building, but to our astonishment, although located on the first floor it feels like sitting in a cellar as there is almost no window providing daylight. Although we were only the second guests we were placed next to the service door to the kitchen, which was slammed each time the waitress entered the dining room. We ordered the pasta al fungi recommended by the waitress and the local fish, specifying that we don‘t like Garlic. The pasta were ok, the fish arrived raw, and the sauce was full of garlic. We returned the fish and were rolls that this was prepared in a special slow cooking way and is typically served lukewarm. Well, it would have been a great idea to explain this when we ordered. The fish was covered with one leaf of salad to probably provide some vegetables..and Weile wine glasses or water glasses were never refilled during the entire dinner. We were glad leaving this place in a rush, definitively I would not recommend that place

10/10Incredibly tasty traditional food with a twist, the venue is great, the wine pairing ideal, just go for it if you like to enjoy tradition yet sophisticated (we definitely recommend the 7 courses menu + wine pairing)

9/10We found this jewel of a restaurant thanks to the Fork as it is hidden inside a imposing building with a nice entrance. The service was great and the ambience very unique. We all chose the 7 course meal to try as many local Piedmontese dishes. The food was very tasty and beautifully presented. The wines that came with the menu were two white and two red wines. While the white wines were very good we felt the two red wines were nothing special and quite bland. But overall very happy with our evening and our choice of restaurant and menu.

9.5/10A real jewel of a restaurant in a wonderful setting. Already entering the Palazzo and looking at the courtyard is a real pleasure. The restaurant is quite intimate on the first floor. A good choice à la carte menu, great wine by the glass, excellent local dishes (Plin, Brasato) were just delicious.

10/10A real jem. A few tables in a beautiful historical palace, welcoming and professional service. However you want to go there for the food. Unforgettable Piedmont recipes with first class products, elegantly cooked by the Chef. I chose the"degustazione" menu with seven courses from antipasto to dessert just to taste different savours and I chose well. They offer an important wine selection as well, let yourself be cherished by the kind maitre and you will be in good and sure hands. Enjoy!

10/10Truly outstanding restaurant, we had 7 course tasting menu which was exquisite, wonderful service and would not hesitate to recommend. You need to be aware it is in a palace with no signs you have to ask the doorman to let you in.

10/10We had only lunch at the Ristorante Circolo dei Lettori but in our memories it is one of the best meals we had in Torino - excellent food, excellent wine, excellent service. We simply loved it and will definitely return for a dinner.
