La Fucina Ristorantino

Not the first time visiting this small nice restaurant in the area of San Salvario in Turin. The atmosphere is very familiar, the menu is always different, with a choice of vegetarian dishes too. Food is really good, recipes always well balanced. The prices are fair, maybe the portions a bit small, but overall great experience. Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch

We stumbled upon this restaurant by chance which is located in the San Salvario district along Via Madama Cristina. We arrived on a Thursday late evening with the place full and without a reservation. However, the very kind waiter found us a place in the outdoor area by setting a table specifically for us. The menu is simple, with a few dishes divided between starters, first and second courses of both meat and fish, certainly linked to seasonality. We had a small appetizer of marinated anchovies and I assure you that, having been born in a seaside place where this dish is at home, they were truly delicious. For the second course we had the cast iron Iberian pork Abanico with mashed potatoes and chard. Basically a very tender cut of pork, cooked to perfection and seasoned so as not to alter its flavour. For dessert, an eggnog with meliga crumbs, mouth-watering. The use of excellent quality raw materials is certainly noticeable, justifying the price paid. Obviously, both with regards to taste and quantities, the opinion is strictly personal. In particular, for me the quantities were more than sufficient, for my husband if they had been a little more abundant he would not have disdained, but this does not take away from the fact that the experience certainly deserves 5 stars.

The chef and owner protagonist of an amazing culinary adventure, the service friendly and professional. Excellent wine list. Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5
