Perino Vesco

Turin


Cult Slow Food baker Andrea Perino turns out dense, fragrant torta langarola (hazelnut cake), naturally yeasted panettone and focaccia that draws sighs from homesick Ligurians. Join the queues for takeaway pizza and focaccia slices (grab a ticket upon entering) or head out the back and nab a seat for sandwiches, pizza slices, savoury tarts and coffee.
