On a quiet, unassuming street in the San Paolo area of Turin, this historic osteria has kept its original décor dating from its founding well over 80 years ago. Famous for its handwritten recycled paper menus, the selection of dishes changes regularly according to the season. In one of its three wood-paneled dining rooms, diners can enjoy stand-out, year-round dishes including appetizers like frittata d'erba, pasta entrees like agnolotti al plin and mains such as stinco di maiale al forno.  In summer, al fresco dining is available on its adjoining internal courtyard. The no-frills, fiercely traditional Piedmontese fare and friendly, hospitable staff make for a cozy, home-like atmosphere. A favorite with locals, it is best to book in advance. Open for dinner only.
