Teapot — Restaurant in Turin

Quite a disappointing experience.

It was two of us visiting the cafe. When we entered, we asked to sit in a cozy corner spot. The waitress, however, was hesitant and told us we couldn’t sit there because it was meant for three people. This explanation felt odd, especially since the café was completely empty at the time. It gave us the impression that the café prioritizes revenue over customer satisfaction.

The food was below average. The portion of scrambled eggs and bacon was surprisingly small, and for €8, you’d expect a bit more creativity—perhaps some vegetables or a garnish. Overall, it felt like a poor and uninspired meal.

To make matters worse, the receipt was unclear, with no descriptions for the items listed. After discussing it with the waitress, we discovered the café had charged us more than expected. Her explanation was baffling: she claimed the price increases if you add muesli on the side, even though the menu clearly indicated that muesli was included in the dish.

As the final disappointment, we noticed that an Italian couple was later allowed to sit in the cozy corner we were denied, even though other tables...

Non potrei usare altro aggettivo se non ganzo! Questo locale è proprio ganzo :) Nonostante il nome ricordi più una sala da tè che un ristorantino, il Teapot è super versatile e riassume entrambe in un unico posto. Non ho avuto il piacere di assaggiare la vasta scelta di tè e tisane, contrariamente per quanto risguardo l’ampia schiera di dolci fatti dai ragazzi/e . Malgrado l’orario più che scomodo (15.30) in cui siamo entrate, il titolare del Teapot ci ha accolte e sfamate con generosità. Il locale è ben arredato e ricco di carattere: mobili, luci e pareti sono stile 70s ed ogni sedia è decorata con colorati disegni. Mi piace che la cucina non sia totalmente separata dalla sala, perché al suo interno ho visto persone belle e sorridenti. Il fatto che non vi sia un’interruzione tra le due stanze, mi ha fatto capire quale sia la filosofia del Teapot: aperto a tutti, per tutti i gusti ed adatto a tutte le necessità. Il pranzo per quanto mi riguarda era squisito è pieno d’amore (ricordo che il team si stava preparando per la chiusura): porzioni abbondanti e colorate, ottime materie prime, prezzi popolari e dolci deliziosi. In sostanza un locale ed un personale che si rispecchiano reciprocamente, uniti da senso di condivisione, genuinità ed allegria. Super...

Location: Teapot is located in San Salvario, a cool area ti go out, full of bars and cafes. The place is really cozy, furnished with a lot of wood, colorful chairs, old cupboards... it feels like being at a granny’s place :)

Food and drink: huge choice of teas, there are different coffees too and pastries. I think it’s very good to go there for a coffee break or for a breakfast.

Service: polite, but...
