11 cafe rooms in Turin we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Turin | Cafe across every city.
The Turin caffe is an institution in its own right, the birthplace of the bicerin and a long aperitivo tradition. Caffe Al Bicerin by Piazza della Consolata still pours the chocolate, coffee and cream drink it is named for, while Caffe Mulassano and Caffe San Carlo near Piazza Castello and Piazza San Carlo keep the marble-and-mirror Locali Storici style alive. Caffe Baratti & Milano, Caffe Platti and Caffe Vergnano carry the historic line further, and for something colder Gelateria Pepino on Piazza Carignano and Mara dei Boschi in San Salvario handle the gelato.
