Ristorante Del Cambio

We visited Turin for truffle season. It was on the bucket list so we rocked it off. A friend booked this restaurant and we had the set five course meal. The food was exotic but fantastic. It was a wonderful 4 hour experience with good friends! Give it a try if you are looking for a unique dining experience in Turin!

This is a really special restaurant and I feel really lucky that I had the chance to visit it. The atmosphere is truly unique with the fully restored Risorgimento room. It does really transport you back in time when Nietzsche and Cavour used to dine here. The food was absolutely fantastic and there was a great selection of wines. About 5000 different ones to be precise. Luckily our sommelier was very knowledgeable and was able to find the right wines for us very quickly. The service throughout was excellent and everyone was very friendly. Thank you to the whole team for making this historical restaurant such a special place!

This is an exceptional restaurant, and we were delighted to have chosen to come here, expecting one star Michelin dining in a historic beautiful dining room, but ending up being blown away by the quality of the food. The food was innovative and delightful, with creative interpretations of Piedmontese cuisine, in which flavours popped with every dish. Cooking was technically excellent. The eight course degustation was preceded by two amuses bouche and punctuated by four "bread services" of various savory items and an optional cheese course. Staff were all warm, professional and skilled. Paired wines complemented dishes perfectly. Prices, while expensive for Turin, were completely fair relative to comparable places in Europe. I'd recommend without hesitation.

We picked a tasting menue for eur185 pp and a wine pairing for eur140pp. The service was correct but very transactional. The food was mildly put disappointing ,if not irritating. At first we were served a big bowl of rice chips , something to nibble on. pretty strange. The first course “tonic water granita & caviar” was an incompatible clash of frozen "sprite" with caviar. A combination , which kind of ruined both. 1/10. The second course, scampi , watermelon , apple and green tomatoes lacked punch and taste. 3/10. Course 3 Cattlefish mozzarella and red bagneto sauce was interesting but again pretty bland in taste.5/10. Egg yolk Tagliolini followed , which artistically looks nice but had a mouthfeel of warm wax. Terrible.0/10 Cod bottom with Mediterranean sauce was ok but again lacked character and taste. 3/10. Salanova lettuce and sorrel , was a folded leaf of salad without any dressing - terrible. 0/10. Lastly pigeon bisque and egg yolk. The meat was rare , luke warm and tasted like a raw pigeon more than anything else. 1/10. The desert we never ended up trying, as we paid and left, trying to find a trattoria in the late hours. Very disappointing dinner and not worthy of a 1 Michelin star rating at all. The wine pairing for eur140 was creative but not more. The room decor, historically impressive but lacks an upgrade.

Incredible meal here at Del Cambio! Matteo Baronetto has truly delivered a unique and interesting experience here for diners. I went with the 9 course surprise tasting menu and not a single dish disappointed. They were plated in new and different ways than what I'm normally accustomed to at fine dining restaurants like this. Often times presented on multiple plates that you can take bites of individually or combine at your own will. Compared to normally everything on one plate, with a sauce poured over at the table or on a large plate apart from each other. The visuals were stunning, the flavors were intense, subtle, and simply delicious. Very happy with my experience here.

We had an ala carte menu and loved it, we tried the pigeon, the spaghetti, the rice and the salad. The salad is one of the best I have eaten in my life. It was made up on more than 20 ingredients and was a great mix of Piedmontese food with some Japanese influence. We coupled this with nice Barolo wine ( not very expensive once taken by the glass) and some good bread. The pasta was above average and the rice definitely very tasty. Suggest going to this restaurant more for the experience and the decor. It was established in 1757 and feels like you’re eating a meal in history

Actually a tourist attraction, it was an icon in Turin, they showcase an excellent execution in the kitchen. Service is extremely provincial with a number of wrong manouvres to accomodate the turists that are the mainl customers. The kitchen is still the reason to come. Extremely expensive for what it delivers. There are better restaurants in the area at a fraction of the price. Unfortunately. Not worth a visit unless someone is paying for you.

One of the best restaurants in Turin - by far! Incredible setting, sensationally tasty food, and caring staff will accompany you throughout your evening. Can only recommend. Pro tip: make sure to check their kitchen staff in action prior to your dinner at the neighbouring Farmacia 😉 Enjoy!

Very good service and beautiful environment. The food was very good. I would give it a 4.6 if I can because some of the dishes were better than others. We tried the tasting menu. A bit pricey but worth the historical background with it

First in and last out... this was an epic dining experience. We did the chefs menu and it was so delicious and very special. I was not a big fan of the tiramisu- a different style for sure- but the chef noticed and sent another dessert and let me tell you- it was EPIC! Shaped like a little small round soft cheese with rind, but was a cheese cake- and a really good one too. We happens to be there during white truffle season so had some of those shave on pasta dish- wine pairing were spot on and the sommelier was especially informative about regions -we did the wine pairing. A very special place and experience.

Very disappointing for a Michelin star restaurant. Service was mediocre (ordering a cocktail seemed like an ordeal and three out of four of us were ignored and their orders weren't taken until we flagged down a busboy) and the meat course which was the last one was completely unacceptable. The rib eye was carved table side but what was served to half of our party was full of cartilage, unrendered fat and half of the pieces were inedible. The ravioli and the desserts were the salvageable parts of the meal. Is this the innovation in the 135€ menu?

Ristorante del cambio is a 1 Michelin star establishment that has been around since 1757, and served the likes of Beethoven and Victor Hugo. The main dining room is absolutely beautiful and reflects the 1700s time period; this room has been restored over the years to maintain its originality and style. Eating in this room felt like I had traveled back in time. For food, the restaurant offers a la carte and a few tasting menus. We went with the La Tradizione tasting menu, and personally I loved it. The restaurant sources local food products which lends to its showcasing of the Piedmontese cuisine and culture The quality of the food was superb and the artistry of it added to the cool factor. Having eaten so much bread on our trip, we were surprised when our waiter brought out a basket of multicolored rice crackers of different flavors (squid ink, brussel sprouts, etc) - it was amazing to look at as it was fun to eat. The other dishes that followed were delicious and fun as well. We also shared a bottle of Barbera d'alba by Aldo Conterno which perfectly complemented our meal. As the meal slowly came to an end, we asked our sweet waiter for the check, but did not realize the meal had not ended. Another round of desserts were brought out this time, and this was not on the menu. It was a lighter post meal dessert, which included a piece of gianduja (hazelnut chocolate), a little ice cream puff, and thinly sliced apple and orange chips. Definitely one of my most memorable meal I've ever had.

Del Cambio is a Michelin-starred restaurant in a beautiful and historic Torino building - if you have an affinity for beautiful food, I'd say it's a worthwhile splurge. One thing I don't think you get from the reviews on here is that you DON'T have to do the tasting menu! They offered three tasting menu options when I visited, all of which were over 100 euro. However, they also have a full a la carte menu, which (depending on how you order) means you can enjoy their beautiful dishes for considerably less. I went with the risotto con salvia (sage) and the vitello (the veal chop Milanese style to be exact). I didn't order wine because the prices are quite high and in my humble and uneducated opinion, you can get fantastic Italian wines for a song in Italy, so why break the bank? Both dishes were delicious, but for me the risotto took the cake. Between the two, I had way too much food and was stuffed to the gills - I normally wouldn't have ordered the veal chop, but I asked for the waiter's recommendation on what to pair with the risotto and decided to take it. I walked out paying roughly 73 euro, more than worth it for the experience I had. In addition to the meal I ordered, I was also treated to lovely house made rice (and squash blossom and I believe a certain type of leaf) chips, an amazingly beautiful trio of amuse bouche, some kind of crisped bread in the shape of a maple leaf, the usual bread and breadstick array, and the most beautiful dessert trio I've ever seen. Let me emphasize, I did not order dessert! Del Cambio is just committed to you having a full experience I guess and should you not order dessert, you're treated to a petite trio of chocolate-based delights (chocolate-coated gelato spheres, tiny chocolate cakes, and gianduja candies). See pictures to better understand! The service I had was spectacular, though they do leave you to enjoy your experience, so you won't be constantly fussed over. If you're in a hurry, don't be, my meal solo took a bit over two hours all said and done. The dress code is fine dining, but that being said, people were in a range of outfits. I wore a simple black shift dress and felt comfortable. Most men I saw were wearing casual suits with jackets. You can make a reservation by calling or emailing online; I did the latter and received a confirmation a few days following.

I think this is a must visit in Turin. In addition to the beautiful architecture and history of this particular restaurant, the food is amazing. In particular, this showcases a fine Italian food much more akin to a French preparation than you may be used to. You won't be served spaghetti and pizza - that's for sure. I have a fish allergy, and the staff were very helpful in preparing alternate courses. To be honest, I think I lucked out. The alternatives I was served were superior to the standard dishes in most cases. Finally, the staff is incredibly well trained and responsive. Tips: 1. You should make a reservation. The website reservation system is not terribly good, so I recommend giving them a call. They have American employees on staff, so communication is no problem. 2. There are two set menu options. (I think 7 and 11 courses if I'm not mistaken). I suggest going for the 7 course menu. Even with fewer courses and small portions, it's way too much food for the average person. 3. There is a loosely followed dress code, so make sure to wear something nice. Also, the patio is great, but remember it can be very hot in summer months on the patio.

What a wonderful place! Everything is perfect here. The food is excellent and comes with several side dishes which are nicely explained by the waiter. Price for the main course was 31 EUR and together with the free extras this was enough to eat.

Good bucket list restaurant to visit, once. Food quality commensurate with price. Fantastic menu - each corner of the salad plate has a unique taste, best veal - don't chew it, it melts in your mouth. I can just afford it once.

Wow! This restaurant blowed my mind. The decor in the main room is spectacular and immerse in history, there is actually one modern room that didn't met my taste and i found one table (not ours) in an unfortunate spot. The service is top level, very professional but friendly. The food is to die for, very high quality ingredients, impeccable execution, fantastic presentation, perfect timing. The wine list can satisfy exigent palate... I wish my wallet was thicker to try some of the iconic bottles ... but I'm already saving for the next visit! The bar upstairs is the cherry on the pie to end the night in a very cool ambience with music and cocktails. If you are down for the top, don't miss it.

What a disappointing experience! I organized and escorted a small group to Alba this October during Wine and Truffle Season. I was very excited to include lunch at Del Cambio for the food, history and ambiance. When I made the reservations I specified that we were interested in the Prix Fix menu. As our tour of Torino was running late, I called ahead to apologize for the tardiness and to advise them we would be 15 minutes late. We arrived at the restaurant where the maitre d' greeted us and seemed annoyed as I apologized for our delay only to rush us to the coat room and then escort us into the main dining room (it seems they have two different dining areas, a main dining room and one for a "light lunch"). He never bothered to ask where we wished to lunch as he sat us down. The waiter handed us menus and brought out some tempura like cracker appetizers. One in our group picked up a cracker and was about to put it in his mouth when he found a long strand of hair attached to it. We called the waiter over and discreetly let him know of this incident, and he in turn sent his superior over to apologize to our group member with I quote "Thank you for pointing that out to us". In any other restaurant they would have compensated the customers in some other way, at Del Cambio, they simply took the dish away, did not replace it and didn't bother to substitute it, nor was it compensated in the bill. However, we persevered and ordered our meals which turned to be just as disappointing, nothing stood out, the food was rather bland. The only highlight of the lunch was the wine we enjoyed suggested by our sommelier. We were expecting a spectacular experience and walked out disappointed and confused, and felt Del Cambio was not worth the time nor the money. All our meals in Piemonte were wonderful and memorable from Michelin rated restaurants to simple trattoria's except the restaurant we were so excited about and so disappointed with.
