    The place is very unique, in a historical building, landmark of the city. The room is therefore exceptional in the ambience and decoration. The food is excellent, “traditional but with some modernity “ and the service as well.

    Booked this gem last minute and was surprised and pleased that they had availability. Felt a bit sheepish as we were underdressed but enjoyed the delicious menu and appreciated the gracious waitstaff

    Although the restaurant was a little difficult to find, it was well worth the search. The food and service were fantastic and included an unexpected amuse bouche before the meal and an additional decadent treat at the end. The chef also came out to see how we enjoyed the food which was a wonderful touch.

    I love this restaurant: service, atmosphere and food of course. I had "blue" venison, "rossini" and I want them again , more. Escargot was so so but that just nitpicking.

    Ristorante Circolo dei Lettori

    Thank you for your beautiful words, I look forward to hearing from you as always. Please tell me what you didn't like about snails, we're happy to hear your opinion and we'll treasure it!

    Excellent restaurant. When in Torino, don’t miss this one. A wonderful surrounding, first class service and top notch food. Booking well in advance is required. It is not easy to find since there is no sign outside but a guard at the entrance of the building welcomes you when you have arrived.

    Thank you so much for your kind words, they are an encouragement for our work! Stefano Fanti

    The restaurant is located in an old palace. The service is very attentive and the food quite good, although a bit on the expensive side.

    Hidden 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.

    A 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!

    This 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.

    The 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.

    Lovely restaurant hidden away from the main street and a really interesting decor. Food was delicious and service was great - highly recommended!

    Very 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!

    We 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
