Guarini — Restaurant in Turin

So disappointed! I read great reviews about the Vermouth which was never served (even though we got the tasting menu with wine pairing and it mentioned the vermouth), and the "pairing" consisted of 5 dishes but only 1 prosecco and 1 wine glass. I pretty much don't know which wine I drank as the waiter brought it and never explained it to us. The food was delicious, and the service was friendly, but completely lost. Such a shame, they have the potential to be awesome. After our first starter the waiter asked "any dessert?" and we were like... "we ordered the whole tasting menu". After our first course he asked again "anything else coming for you?". We also had to wait 30min for the check (we asked twice to different people) and in the end I went to the counter and paid there. The pasta was slightly oily for my taste but still really good. Amazing dessert. Their beef was to die for. Great decor. Friendly people. So sad they have such poor service and communication skills. I really don't give 3 stars often...

Every single dish we enjoyed (even the bread basket) was delicious and homemade. This is a must try when in Torino and the service is out of this world! The chef and sommelier really take you on a Piedmontese journey to help you discover the food and wine beyond the “Barolos” and “Barbarescos” we’re all but too familiar with. Grignolino from Northern Monferrato to a pine-beer Amaro from Val di Susa, Guarini will take your palate on an...

Decido di provare il ristorante con il cambio di timone alla guida della cucina. Per provare appieno decido di abbandonarmi al menù più completo proposto dallo chef...piatti ottimi, alcuni originali altri meno ma eseguiti con grande maestria. Inizio accompagnato da un americano, ottimo il Vermouth. Proseguo il pasto con un calice di nebbiolo- servito ahimè decisamente molto caldo, comunico al personale di sala, ma non se ne prende cura. Continuo il pasto ordinando quindi un Carema riserva, bottiglia media certo nulla di eccezionale ma non per questo merita di essere servita a 22 gradi, comunico anche questo e mi viene portato un secchiello del ghiaccio per la bottiglia, e va bene. Ogni piatto servito, a me, e ai tavoli affianco non viene minimamente spiegato né raccontato, magari è una filosofia del ristorante ma forse non condivido. Bagni parecchio sporchi. Insomma pago, ringrazio calorosamente ed esco, riflettendo su quanto impegno venga messo in cucina che traspare tutto nei piatti, e quanto poco basti per un servizio fatto male a rovinare tutto l'impegno. Sono convinto basti poco per...
