Ristorante Pizzeria Marechiaro — Restaurant in Turin

Nice restaurant with extended opening hours, with respect to most other places in Torino, which, even in downtown, close their kitchens relatively early in the evening. Being in the immediate vicinity of the famous Alfieri theatre in Torino, the ristorante Marechiaro is frequented by stage artists, who notoriously finish their shows late and need to dine at unusual times. The place is at foot distance from the theatre, wide and cozy enough too easily accommodate many people in a comfortable way. The menu is rich, with a large number of items, spanning from fish to meat, including some vegetable only options, covering from appetizers to desserts. The dishes I tried were quite good, although the presentation was sometimes a bit questionable, such as the green sauce seasoning for the anchovy appetizer, which was very dark and served on a black plate, making the whole thing less inviting and even hard to see (also because the place is one of those with very moderate lighting). The staff is very friendly and the service is efficient and quick. The bill can go up quickly, based on the...

I must look stupid or something. Went in there to order 2 Grand Marnier drinks to close out a nice evening after dinner in Turin. Also one to usually leave good reviews. Not the case here. 1) was 9:15 pm, outside seating had several tables. Were told we needed to sit inside as they were busy. 2) ordered the 2 drinks.

New bill came out for 12 euros and 2 more for water. We paid the 14 euros. When we walked outside the table we asked for was still empty and 7 other tables as well. So avoid this place or at least scrutinize the bill closely. You have...

A typical tourist trap, an overrated restaurant in an overrated hotel. The waiters were inexperienced and cocky, not having a clue about a proper work ethic, only one guy had an idea how to do the job. The food had too much salt, and the drinks were not good, other than wine. They didn’t take away empty plates and glasses letting them all to get crowded on the small table. All of that had 12% service charge automatically added to the bill. Even a home chef knows not to add any salt to a carbonara pasta because it has a lot of pecorino cheese… No Negroni in a place like this, really? Most spots here take pride in different variations of the drink. Okay, go with the most of the dumb reviews here or find a more...
