Turin
This small dining room is run by a friendly young couple and makes a nice change from historic, moody Turin. A simple, architecturally astute fit-out makes the most of a vaulted old shop front, and dishes that may sound conceptual on the menu are far from fussy on the plate. Desserts like panna cotta alla lavanda unabashedly depart from the traditional and are a highlight.
The wine list is pan-Italian, and notable for its focus on natural wines; bottles can be bought to take away.
