La Taverna Dei Mercanti

This might have been one of my favorite Italian meals of all time. The photos don’t do it justice. First off, I had the mind blowing arugula salad. Never have I ever had cut arugula, for some reason this changed my life in more ways than one. For the pastas, the three of us shared three different pastas. I ordered the daily special which was a mushroom, and then we have the ravioli two different ways. To top it all off we had the tiramisu for dessert. The waiter was so nice and friendly, also super funny. He was entertaining all of the guests with his bravado voice and welcome speech. I thoroughly enjoyed his energy as a waiter. The pastas were so fresh, and SO GOOD. If I didn’t have food coma from the gluten I would have ordered a fourth one. Not to be missed !! Truly a gem and super authentic cooking.

Wonderful meal for our first night in Torino. The cozy comfortable dining room felt like Nona’s house. The service was on point, accommodating and friendly. Mirco the owner was amazing and made us feel so welcome. Loved the house wines and the food was perfect. Grazie Mille Mirco!

No need to think about it. If you are in Torino, do yourself a favor and have dinner at this place. We arrived 10 minutes before opening but was welcomed warmly. The entire menu was explained to us in English with enthusiasm. The food was of course delicious. We ordered the Antipasti Taverna, a pasta and a dessert to share and secondi each. The staff was very nice and attentive as with other places we've been to in Torino.

We had a really nice dinner here. The waiter is very upbeat and friendly, adding to the nice evening. He speaks amazing English, French ( I think he also offered german), and of course Italian. The food was perfect! And the prices are very fair considering the generous portions. I highly recommend . We had the ravioli steak and chocolate cake dessert — very filling and delicious. Steak was cooked perfectly.

Their eggplant pasta is so special. I could use the same ingredients and never get the same result. It is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. No fancy plating, no pretence. Just really good food. Family run place. We go every time we are in Turin. One table next to us didn’t even look at the menu, they knew the staff and just said bring us whatever you think we will like!!!!
