Eataly Torino Lingotto — Restaurant in Turin

Don’t do it! I’m talking to you, out of town Hilton double tree guest. I know what you’re thinking…”it’s right next door, 4.1 stars isn’t terrible, I’ll just grab dinner there.” Just don’t. You’re in Italy and there’s great food 10 minutes away. There’s even decent pizza 5 minutes walk away. The food here was terrible! My wife got the risotto and it was beautiful and unfortunately gross. It’ll make for an incredible instagram photo with its rich purple color and swirls of olive oil, but it should go straight in the trash after that. Bitter and under seasoned I got an andouille sausage pizza. The person who took my order warned me it was spicy and then chuckled when I said that was ok. Like I was in for a shock of some sort. The pizza came out limp and under cooked. There was still near-raw dough in the crust and ate more like a pastry. They used fresh mozz, but because they didn’t cook it all the way through the mozz stayed moist and began to separate on my pizza leaving me with a soggy mess of dough saturated in brine/whey. Oh and that spicy sausage was not only spice-less but you get a sad little shaving on each slice about the size of an American dime. In a market full of delicious wines they managed to put the worst Moscato in the building on the menu. Despite the horrible restaurant on the property, the market is awesome. There was an amazing balsamic vinegar on each table and we were able to purchase some on our way out the door to take home. If you’re hungry later in the evening just head over to pizza palace and grab a decent pie, and hit the wine store on your way back to your room. Don’t eat at this place. Disgusting and...

As an Italian food enthusiast, I was absolutely thrilled to visit Eataly Lingotto in Turin. From the moment I stepped in, I was transported to a gastronomic paradise that celebrated the richness of Italian cuisine.

The vast array of high-quality ingredients is a cook's dream come true. I found myself lost in the vibrant colors and enticing aromas of fresh produce, artisanal cheeses, and premium meats. The pasta selection alone was enough to make my heart sing, with shapes and sizes I had never seen before, each promising to elevate my home-cooked meals.

But Eataly Lingotto isn't just about shopping; it's an experience. The cooking classes are a testament to their commitment to education and sustainability, empowering us to create dishes that not only taste good but are good for the planet. And the restaurants! Each bite I took was a testament to the skill and passion of the chefs, showcasing the best of Italy on a plate.

The store's design, with its open spaces and modern touches, perfectly complements the warmth of Italian hospitality. It's a place where food is not just consumed but celebrated. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a curious foodie, Eataly Lingotto is a must-visit destination that truly embodies the spirit of Italy.

Eataly Lingotto is not just a store; it's a journey through the heart of Italian gastronomy. It's where every visit enriches your soul and your palate. If you love Italian food, this is your heaven on earth....

I am traveling alone on business but I wanted a good meal. Eataly came through on a beautiful spaghetto ( not spaghetti). Super simple with amazing Pomodoro sauce and house baked bread. This was a Saturday evening and the store was packed. Imagine a more upscale Whole Foods Market with a kitchen and tables next to and in the aisles. I sat at the counter. They take your order quickly but "slow food" is not for the impatient! About 18-20 minutes until food came. I dislike the texture of tomatoes but love a good Pomodoro sauce. It was very good and I surprised myself by eating the sweetest toms ever! Capped it off with a local Piemontese Pilsner and it was an incredible medium-light meal for only €13. My hotel is only 100m away but Lingotto is easy to get to on the metro...the last stop. Downside is twofold; 1) At the end of the day, the house made bread was dry, not what fresh bread should be. 2) The noise level is off the charts. All surfaces are hard and reflect all noise. As an architect, this is common for lower cost restaurants. No one lingers when you have to yell to have your dining partners hear you. Management needs to turn those tables 2-3 times per evening to make a profit. There are several restaurants within. Pasta/pizza; meat; and fish. Overall, despite the noise, a must visit when in Turin. Absolutely NOT touristy. 98% locals. But they have...
