L'Orto Bistrò

TLDR: A solid vegan lunch place to eat, but the parent restaurant for dinner L'Orto gia Salsamentario is better. Service: Standard service in Northern Italy. Not rude, but quick and efficient. Atmosphere: Good outdoor seating in a historic square with a nice statue. Indoors is clean and modern. Food: Overall, good food, but not nearly as fresh as its parent restaurant. Many of the dishes are similar but just not as tasty. The owner is very nice and quite an awesome guy. A good first meal in Torino and we would come back if in the area. If you are deciding on restaurants, pick another for lunch and go to L'Orto for dinner across the river. You won't be sorry either way!

We sat at one of the tables outside under an umbrella, and it was very pleasant. Atmosphere and service were both very good. We just were not very impressed by the food. The moussaka was just alright, but the penne was disappointing. I would give it another try to see whether we were unlucky in what we chose, but based on our one visit it's hard for me to recommend.

good vibes, good atmosphere and service. The food was fine, nothing memorable but still good. We got the moussaka and the seitan.

It was so good, I ordered a marinated seitan which was amazing. The guy was there was really nice, and polite. The food was also not expensive, I ordered the most expensive main dish + a pastry + service and all I paid was 14 euros. Also, the pastry was one of the best ones I’ve ever had!

Simple but great meal to have lunch. The outdoor terrasse was a nice spot to eat.
