Stefano Fanti Al Ristorante Il Circolo Dei Lettori

About

Stefano Fanti’s Il Circolo dei Lettori restaurant is a modern‑era culinary haven tucked into the historic Palazzo Graneri della Roccia, at Via Bogino 9 in the heart of Turin. Combining the refined flavors of Piedmontese tradition with contemporary twists, the menu features light, seasonally‑inspired dishes crafted by a team of young professionals spearheaded by chef Stefano Fanti. The restaurant’s ambience is as evocative as its cuisine. Elegant décor by Felice Vellan sets the stage for curated music events, while the surrounding library and reading rooms provide a cultural backdrop that blends literature, art, and gastronomy. Guests can enjoy breakfast, lunch, a fixed‑price Christmas menu, and an aperitivo or brunch on Saturdays—always paired with the warm hospitality of the on‑site bar, Barney’s. Whether dining with family, friends, or as a quiet solitaire meal, the setting is effortlessly stylish: quiet corridors, intimate seating, and a view of the Mole Turin. The experience is further enriched by scheduled literary evenings, book‑related events, and the option for private venue hire within the palace’s versatile rooms. A visit typically lasts around two hours, giving diners enough time to explore the menu, enjoy a glass of wine or cheese platter, and savor the literary atmosphere that the Circolo’s community has cultivated since 2006.
