10/10I 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.

10/10Excellent 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.

8.5/10The restaurant is located in an old palace. The service is very attentive and the food quite good, although a bit on the expensive side.

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.

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!

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.

10/10
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.

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

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)
