Pastificio Sapori

Turin


This neighbourhood pasta shop and rosticceria (delicatessen) has been run with love by Maurizio and Iva Tassinari for over 30 years. Choose from the brimming window of prepared dishes sold by weight, including roast salmon, meatballs, Russian salad and gratine leeks or artichokes: perfect picnic or hotel-room fare.

If you're busting to try their splendid array of house-made fresh pastas – from traditional tajarin (a thin tagliatelle) to Sardinian pockets filled with ricotta and mint – but can't self-cater, they'll cook and plate you up your choice, with either a butter or tomato sauce (from €6) to be eaten at one of their counter-side tables or taken away. There are vegan and vegetarian options, too.
