DUE VENERE Bistrot — Restaurant in Turin

Things started off well as we were greeted by a friendly staff. As we sat down at our table, we ordered a bottle of prosecco and tried to decide what to get for dinner. About 10 minutes later we were informed that they didn't have the prosecco we'd ordered in the cold nor did they have an ice bucket for it. They said they could put a cooling sleeve around it and we accepted that, though it didn't do much to cool the bottle down. We were very excited about the food as everything sounded amazing. I went for the shrimp tartare while my husband got the wild boar. As the food reached the table, the experience was sadly not at all what we'd expected. My tartar was exceptionally warm. I'd always expect and have always experienced raw foods such as ceviches and tartares to be served cold not room temperature or even warmer. while I let that go, it was the lack of flavour that really stood out. it seemed no effort had gone in to seasoning the tartare resulting in a raw shrimp mush without any real flavour. Disappointed, I still kept it and dodn't say anything.

My husband's boar on the other hand was so over salted that he had no option but to send it back as he could't eat it. I will say, it was cooked perfectly, but the saltiness just over-powered everything else.

He decided to exchange it for spaghetti with shrimp as the photos of the dish looked amazing and we were both excited to try it. Getting the dish took at least 25 minutes and when it arrived to the table it was yet another let-down. Though the spaghetti was perfectly al dente, the entire dish tasted muddy - kind of like when the seafood used isn't the freshest. We were supposed to share the dish as my dish was quite small (it was an appetizer so no problem there) but I could only take a bite of the pasta as it really did just taste bad. By that point my husband was hungry enough to have a few more bites, before we called it a night. What made the whole thing even more disappointing was the fact that once he asked to exchange his original meal, the service changed completely. Instead of the nice and friendly servers who greeted us, we got a lot of bad attitude and no understanding whatsoever.

Would suggest to...

Locale abbastanza grande, apprezzabili i tavoli rotondi molto ampi, così come il piccolo bagno fornito addirittura di assorbenti per le signore.

Servizio ottimo, discreto e non invadente, gentile e disponibile: abbiamo chiesto la divisione dell’antipasto e del primo e ci sono stati serviti addirittura in due piatti ben distinti.

Abbiamo trovato tutto ottimo e gustoso, porzioni medie, piatti visivamente belli.

Abbiamo preso: Vitello tonnato due Venere, ossia Vitello cotto a bassa temperatura, salsa tonnata morbida, polvere di olive, germogli di pisello e sale affumicato al faggio.

Tajarin alla parmigiana di melanzane scomposta, Ossia Tagliolini freschi con salsa di datterini al forno, dadolata di melanzane fritte e burrata

Filetto di maiale con senape di digione e miele e pomodori confit ossia filetto di maiale cotto a bassa temperatura con pomodori confit e crema di senape di digione e miele.

Abbiamo speso 67.50€ ma avevamo uno sconto The Fork (consiglio di prenotare con la...

Un'esperienza davvero speciale! Ho avuto il piacere di cenare in questo ristorante gestito da ragazzi giovanissimi, pieni di entusiasmo e con una voglia sincera di fare le cose per bene. Si percepisce fin da subito: dall'accoglienza gentile, al sorriso con cui si viene ricevuti, fino alla cura con cui vengono preparati e serviti i piatti. L’ambiente è caloroso e piacevole, si respira un’energia positiva che rende il tutto ancora più gradevole. I piatti sono buoni, curati e trasmettono passione. Sinceramente, non capisco le recensioni negative che ho letto: la mia esperienza è stata eccellente sotto ogni punto di vista, e ritengo che certi giudizi siano davvero infondati. Consiglio vivamente a chiunque di venirci almeno una volta. Io mi sono trovato benissimo e ci tornerò sicuramente. Bravi ragazzi, continuate così! Ops... Il menù per i nostri pelosetti è veramente un tocco di classe....
