La via del sale — Restaurant in Turin

I had a fantastic meal here this evening. The food was exquisite, but it was the service from Laura that truly set this restaurant apart, elevating it from great to exceptional.

Specialising in traditional Piemontese cuisine and boasting a strong Google rating, we knew we were in good hands. We began by sharing the vitello tonnato, where the tonnato sauce had an intense and beautiful flavor, and the melanzane, which was stacked with fresh tomatoes and slathered in a delightful toma cheese sauce.

For our main course, we wanted to share three pasta dishes, and Laura was more than willing to accommodate. She explained that she left it up to the chefs to decide whether to serve them as three separate dishes or pre-shared. Ultimately, the dishes arrived in two stages. First, we were served a plate with two halves: one side with agnolotti and the other with tajarin in a rabbit and courgette ragu. Both were incredible, with intense flavors and clearly freshly made pasta. When we were ready for the gnocchi, Laura it brought out—beautiful pillow-like puffs in a creamy Castelmagno sauce. It was incredibly decadent and sensational, though I was thoroughly stuffed by this point!

My partner opted for dessert, and we were brought two spoons for the bonet Piemontese, a traditional chocolate and almond bread pudding. We finished with a limoncello each.

We were seated outside near the classic Turin arches, making for a perfect Torinese...

The elderly lady in charge of reservations first asked where we were from. When we said we were Turkish, she turned her back and behaved toward us in an extremely racist manner.

Due to her rude attitude, we naturally left without making a reservation. I would not recommend this establishment to anyone, as they discriminate against customers based on...

Nulla da dire sul cibo, ottimo!!! Nulla da dire sul locale, pulito e accogliente!!! La signora che ci ha accolti gentile e simpatica ... signora alla quale abbiamo comunicato la nostra prenotazione per 2 a nome di .... con the fork, ci fa accomodare, ci serve e ci consiglia con molta professionalità, consumiamo, ma la sorpresa ce la riservano a fine cena alla cassa, quando ci viene comunicato che loro nn sono iscritti a the fork, per cui ci costringono a pagare per intero la cena, al nostro disappunto ci viene detto che nn avevano capito, e ci liquidano dopo aver anche ammesso che nn era la prima volta che arrivavano da loro clienti the fork che avevano prenotato in un locale di nuova apertura con nome simile al loro, locale dove noi avevamo prenotato, e dove nn siamo mai arrivati!!! Prendiamo atto di essere stati molto superficiali noi nel nn pretendere la verifica della prenotazione, ma loro ci hanno marciato alla grande a nn verificare la nostra prenotazione ... NN SI FA!!! Ps. Dimenticavo, al momento di pagare il conto, la signora che ci ha accolti nn è stata interpellata per verificare cosa avevamo detto al momento del nostro ingresso nel locale, anzi aggiungerei si è...
