Osteria Antiche Sere Restaurant à Turin

Tucked away in a working-class neighborhood of Turin, Osteria Antiche Sere is a throwback establishment that offers traditional Piedmontese cuisine. The cozy trattoria is a social hub for locals and tourists alike, with friendly staff and a warm ambiance. The interior design is simple yet charming, reminiscent of a bygone era. Prices are reasonable for the quality and quantity of food offered. Outdoor seating is available in the summer months. The menu, handwritten in Italian, features daily changing dishes made from fresh, responsibly sourced ingredients. The mixed antipasti is a must-try, featuring a variety of traditional favorites such as salami di Turgia and vitello tonnato. The agnolotti and risotto are delicate and flavorful, while the stinco di maiale (braised pork shank) is hearty and satisfying. The wine list is extensive, featuring many local Piedmontese wines, such as Barbera d'Alba and Barolo. Save room for dessert, as the semifreddo al torroncino and zabaione are both heavenly. Reservations are a must, as the restaurant is often fully booked. While it may be a bit out of the way, Osteria Antiche Sere is well worth the trip for those seeking an authentic Piedmontese dining experience.
