Ristrot Guviol - Torino

Image
Located in the center of Turin, in the premises that were occupied by the historic Buca di San Francesco, the Ristrot Guviol owes its curious name to the acronym of the Italian words "Ristorante / Bistrot" and "Gusto / Vista / Olfatto". The restaurant has a simple and informal look, but also warm and refined. Particularly striking are the barrel ceilings with exposed bricks and parquet floors. The Ristrot Guviol turned out to be a thick experience, all the more pleasant because it was unexpected: we thought of approaching a good bistro and we found ourselves in a fully-fledged gastronomic place, run by a close-knit company of lovers of good food, good drinking and hospitality. Riccardo Portesi's dishes are very well assorted and personal, cooked with beautiful technique and aesthetic sense: you will begin to have fun reading the names on the card, and you will be amazed by passing by to taste them.
