Osteria del Frate

Super restaurant with friendly staff and excellent food. Plates are generous and pricing is low for the quantity and quality, so it is excellent value. Same goes for the wine we had. I can recommend this place without hesitation and we will return for another meal. As an aside, we asked to buy a couple of wine glasses from them as our hotel room did not supply any. The staff gave us two on our way out the door! Amazing, and thank you so much.

With this review I'm not gonna tell you to not visit this place but just wanted to share my experience so that the restaurant and people would be aware. Me and my friend are travelling and are not from Italy and that was not a problem until this restaurant. The whole experience felt like they were treating us unfriendly and almost trying to humiliate when we actually didn't do anything wrong. We just wanted to try out the restaurant since there were many good reviews about it. We didn't have reservations maybe that was the problem but instead of telling us that they don't want us here they just let us sit so the reservations are not necessary. Then the waiter came with two glasses of wine (we didn't request any alcohol and we don't even drink that) and gave the degustative menus. We came here only to try out gnocchi so that was strange that they didn't offer the regular menu with the degustative one. Luckily the other waitress was friendly and was okay with bringing us not the degustative option. Then as we waited for our food more customers came and they were welcomed more friendly than us (they didn't have reservations too but spoke italian) and the waiter asked them which type of alcohol they would like and even filled their glasses with water (for us he just brought the bottle to fill them up ourselves which isn't a problem just the difference with other customers made it strange), then he randomly brought us antipasti which we didn't order as it was "usual" but we don't eat that and we didn't order it in the first place so that was strange as with the glasses of wine. The gnocchi were not the best we've ever got so the food didn't uplift the situation. Then after that when we asked to pay they took a long time to bring us the check and when we asked to pay with card they took even longer to bring the check. At the end of the experience it seemed like waiters started to act nicer towards us but it did not look genuine so it was all a big disappointment. Overall, did not like the experience, the atmosphere or the food so personally we would not recommend visiting here but maybe it is just our experience

The restaurant came up when searching for Piedmont food (and open) near my hotel my first night in Torino. I was able to get a table without a reservation but my impression is you should have one. The owner suggested I order a full Piedmont dinner complete with antipasto, primi, secundo, and dessert. It was the best meal I had in the city. The veal antipasto was amazing and something I probably would not have tried without the full menu. The agnolotti was also my favorite in the city. My only regret is that because I went there first, none of my other meals could compare

Great restaurant with super friendly staff, they seem to have a mix of locals and tourists. They offer a very good value tasting menu for tourists to try some of the local dishes from the area. We had 3 little starters, then pasta, dessert and a fantastic local wine. All for a reasonable price. The gentleman servicing us was kind, patient and informative. The staff had a family feel and were all polite.

Authentic Piedmontese cuisine recommended by my airbnb host that seemingly only serve only local diners. For just 25 euro, the set menu includes 4 courses and a glass of wine. I took the waiter’s suggestion on dishes to what was an introduction to Torino regional food. Really unbeatable combination of value and taste!
