Turi - Adelaide

This place is gorgeous & tucked away in the lovely Grenfell Plaza.  I absolutely got suckered in by the A-Frame on Grenfell street that blared, HOT NUTELLA CHOCOLATE.  Well, say. no. more.  I was in there in a flash, where I was greeted by a lovely barista who made me the Nutella Hot Chocolate whilst I was contemplating if I had died and gone to some kind of nutella filled heaven. We chatted for a bit and she told me about their Friday night dinners, bar meals & famous ricotta cannolis.  HOLD THE PHONE. Cannolis?  I'll have ten. She actually piped the cannoli in front of me to ensure the pastry didn't get soggy and it was truly divine.  I ended up buying a heap for people at work and I was hailed as the best employee and I won all the things. I think this place is great & I can't wait to explore it a bit more.

Dropped into Turi for lunch. Concise menu with something for everyone. The menu was well explained and it was pasta all round at the table. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My pasta and sauce was delicious. Three good sized meatballs in a delicious sauce.

Dropped in here based on reviews. Had omelette and coffee for breakfast which were both crafted with speed and perfection. I can see why this place is so popular they have all the ingredients down pat of a great cafe !

We came to Turi's for a Friday work team lunch after getting knocked back from Borsa, as we hadn't booked and there was eight of us. We sat were sat straight away at the last available table, which just so happened to seat exactly eight...score! The decor is relaxed warehouse modern with chalkboard walls everywhere, which were very colourful. The menu is traditional Sicilian, do expect pasta, fish, meats etc, however it is distinct from most Italian restaurants. We started with sharing a big bowl of homemade panelle, which is a deep fried savoury fritter that bordered on a pastry/doughnut flavour, but was served dusted with salt alongside a mayonnaise type dipping sauce. For main, I went for the Pasta Sarde which was oversized spaghetti with mashed sardines and an olive oil and breadcrumb crusting. Whilst we were told by our friendly waiter that traditionally this dish didn't need Parmesan, I thought it needed the lifting bite of the cheese as it was somewhat bland without. We finished with mini ricotta cannoli's which were ok but not the greatest. Seated quickly, service was attentive, food came out promptly and wasn't overly expensive. I'll be back!

Had a really delicious meal at Turi. Nice fresh and light Sicilian food. The pannele is what they have instead of chips. Delicious deep fried with chickpea flour and fresh lemon was great. The meatballs were so nice and light. A great location and a great place to go on a Friday after work or for a function.
