Emporio Gastronomico
About
Emporio Gastronomico is a historic trattoria nestled just steps from the iconic Vittorio Emanuele II monument in Torino. The elegant iron‑fronted building, set beneath graceful city‑style arcades, is famed for its warm, laid‑back atmosphere and its wood‑fired pizza oven that bakes pies to a tender, smoky finish. The menu marries traditional Piedmontese fare—roasted lamb, braised veal, seasonal pasta—and a wide selection of fresh‑sliced pizzas, all served in generous portions that make the 15‑euro minimum price feel like an indulgence. Salads, antipasti, and a daily lunch buffet are complemented by a carefully curated wine list featuring local vintages. Whether you arrive for a quick lunch, a leisurely dinner, or a year‑round gathering, the restaurant’s convivial ambience, attentive service, and intimate seating create a memorable dining experience. Outside, a shaded patio with wrought‑iron tables offers a relaxed place to savor a glass of local Asti or walk between the stone‑topped cobbles that lead to the ancient cathedral. The culinary team also showcases seasonal ingredients, ensuring each visit feels fresh and inventive, while the iconic “devanture” façade keeps the historic charm alive. A visit to Emporio Gastronomico is a true taste of Torino’s heritage, blending architectural grace, authentic cuisine, and the city’s culinary spirit into one unforgettable experience.
