Con Calma
About
Con Calma is an exceptional Piedmontese trattoria located on the rolling slopes of Turin, just a 15‑minute drive from the city centre. The restaurant boasts a charming, star‑lit garden and a spacious indoor dining room that exudes rustic elegance while providing a warm, welcoming atmosphere for both intimate dinners and larger celebrations. Traditional dishes such as Bagna Cauda, Bollito misto, and the famed Gran Fritto Misto are prepared from fresh, locally sourced ingredients, ensuring authentic and robust flavours that delight both meat lovers and vegetarians alike. The cellar houses an impressive collection of 80 or so local wine labels, curated by sommelier Renata Pristeri, who is on hand to recommend perfect pairings for every course. Whether you’re celebrating a romantic evening or gathering with family, Con Calma offers a complete culinary experience that marries regional heritage with contemporary hospitality. The dining room is accented by a beautiful pergola draped with vines, the centrepiece for summer evenings, while a cozy wood‑burning fireplace turns the indoor rooms into a snug haven during winter. The staff is friendly and attentive, ensuring that guests feel at home in the castle‑like ambiance of the “Cartman” estate. A favorite among locals and visitors, Con Calma provides a genuinely authentic taste of Turin’s gastronomic traditions in a setting that feels like a family home.
