Madama Piola

We’re supposed to go to other piola in the neighborhood that was close. But found this gem instead. The service was 10/10! The server was very friendly and also recommended us their specialty. Food was delectable, didn’t expect much at first but was blown away. We took the egg with Tabasco for starter and the tartar with hazelnuts and was absolutely delicious. For the mains I took the ravioli with meat and to end our night in Turin we took Tiramisu for dessert to share that has hazelnuts (first time to have that kind of tiramisu).

This restaurant is not a touristy place which is why I think we enjoyed it. Our group of 8 had a broad sampling of the menu. I had the Bollita which was a sampling of meats in broth. It was adventurous for me but I loved it all. The veal cheek was magnificent and the pasta was fresh. The dessert was also nice, especially the one with caramel, orange and grand marnier with ice cream. The prices were more than fair and the staff was very kind and patient (we do not speak any Italian). The sommelier also chose very nice and affordable wines.

Delicious meal, almost perfect despite two minor flaws which I hope the restaurant considers addressing. But overall this was one of the best meals on my trip, outstandingly friendly and helpful service, and a wonderfully broad menu. I had the best seat in the house sitting at the bar watching the kitchen prep the food. The attached photos show everything I ordered: 1) Rabbit and pumpkin - absolutely delicious 2) Meat tortellini in butter and sage - also wonderful 3) Pork chop - this was cooked perfectly but served with too much sweet sauce that really overpowered the dish, they should pull back on this 4) Peach tatin - Yummy but the ice cream was a ball of ice strips, not at all creamy like ice cream should be

We did really enjoy everything at this place, delicious and perfect flavors. Attentive service. Thank you.

Had a birthday celebration there. Very romantic place, we were seated at the bar looking into the kitchen which was super nice to see as they prepped our dinner. We had a couple of appetizers that were not super noteworthy but the main dishes were very satisfying. All paired with a bottle of red wine and finished off with a tiramisu it was the perfect place.

Starters were amazing, I highly recommend baked onion. Staff was polite, helpful and friendly. We didn’t like the main course (duck) as much as we liked the starters.

Best foodie experience we have had….. probably ever!! Number 1 in our book of many! We tried 8 dishes, all were creative, well presented, scrumptious and served with a smile and much professionalism. The knowledge the staff had about every component of the menu/ source was amazing. Definitely a place you would want to visit while you are in Turin!! We can’t wait to return to Madama Piola!! We especially enjoyed “Luca” who served us the wine and digestive. Great recommendations on the wine and our server, ( sorry didn’t see your name on your cute apron) Our server was Fantastic in every way.

Visiting Turin for the first time, and I’ve found this nice restaurant before the trip. I was already drooling looking at other people’s reviews, and in fact the food was amazing! Very friendly service too. I particularly liked the stuffed onion, the veal cheeks and the sorbet.
