Dolce Stil Novo - Alfredo Russo — Restaurant in Venaria Reale

It was my second visit to Dolce Stil Novo. My first was 3 years ago and that time had been during a colder season so the menu and experience was completely different. This evening we had dinner outdoors on the terrace, while the last time was indoors. Outside was so beautiful with the views of the garden and the lovely palace brick. The service was really impeccable. I don't eat fish (a preference, not an allergy), and the waitress made sure to even bring a 2nd option of butter for me, as the standard had anchovies in it. I found it particularly thoughtful as bread is not the main focus of a meal for me at least, and they had already oil as another option. It really felt like no detail was too small. Each dish that was brought to the table was perfect. We had the 5 course menu, with the wine tasting, I found the wine to even be unique and pair well with each dish brought. There hadn't been forecast for rain, but just before dessert, there had been some drops of rain. We hoped it was just a few sprinkles, but it really turned into a downpour. The staff was really prepared for the worst. They rushed us to a table inside, and seemed very coordinated. The inside ambiance is just as beautiful, with a lovely marble floor. We finished our meal indoors and were given an umbrella for our walk back to our car. Again, another nice service detail.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The value is really there and it's a...

I would like to say thank you because of the food and services that we were given . BUT from other side in my heart i’m very disappointed and sad … tonight was a special night that my fiancé organized in order to propose me … when he was booking the table from the website , he wrote to the restaurant that tonight he is planning to propose me and he asked if he can film some moments , but he never received an answer ! when we were there he asked the stuff to take a video of the moment but they refused that by saying it’s not possible to take a video ! he proposed me anyhow but he explained me later the story and that feels so sad that he was not able to register that beautifule moment of our life . he chose this restaurant to make the night special (and actually it was for me ), but the fact that they did not let us to register this unique moment of our life will always remain with us .if by the time of booking he had received a “NO” answer , he would have definitely changed the location. it was funny that they brought us a sweet with the ticket written: happy anniversary! which was totally irrelevant!! I would like to mention that 10 min before with the permission of the waitress I took a video of her while serving a drink so i can conclude that it was allowed to take video ! I’m just deeply sad in my heart why for us it was not possible… tonight will never ever...

Fine food and splendid service.

Place: It is outskirts of Torino, around 30 mins from the city center. It is on the fourth floor of an old building. Exquisite decoration on in a very cosy environment. You need to book in advance.

Service: well coordinated, we were received in the hall and they took care of our coats. The service is according with the prestige of the restaurant. Table, glasses, plates are customized to the detaul. They with delicacy and style. To our impresión and still considering is a degustation menu the service was a bit too slow.

Food: we got snail pate and bruschetta as appetizer. Breads with different butters, (anchovies,spring onions, green pepper) Wine pairing 4 glasses. We went for the 9 dishes degustation menu. All of them delicious and tasty. They were kind enough to prepare a plate of plain spaghetti for the kid.

This is a fine dining place both if you go for a la carte menu or if you take the degustation menu....
