Cantine Risso
About
Cantine Risso is a historic eatery dating back to the 1800s, now operated by the same family for over four decades. Located in the heart of Turin’s old city, it offers a convivial, family‑friendly atmosphere where traditional Piedmontese dishes are given a contemporary twist – think orecchiette with broccoli rabe, stifato, gnocchi, and homemade desserts. In the summer a sun‑shaded courtyard, framed by a centuries‑old fig tree, invites guests to enjoy light lunches and tapas‑style bites, while the evening service focuses on robust, locally‑produced wines and craft beers. A highlight of the venue is its extensive wine cellar, boasting more than 100 labels from around the world. Sommeliers are on hand to guide guests through the tasting notes and pairings, making it a favorite for wine enthusiasts and casual drinkers alike. Cantine Risso goes beyond food and drink – its monthly ‘Cantine Sonore’ evenings feature local musicians, performers, and themed tasting events, adding a lively cultural dimension to the dining experience. The combination of historic charm, generous portions, and a welcoming vibe makes Cantine Risso a must‑visit for both locals and visitors looking to experience authentic Turin hospitality.
