La Piola di Via Piol, Chef Mimmo Girioli's quirky little gourmet restaurant, is based in the historic center of Rivoli.
Not the easiest parking, plan to arrive a little early to find it....
The environments, a little bit tavern a little bit piola, sympathetically kitch, are overabundant with sympathetic or curious details, with lots of fishy references and quotations of all kinds, from comic book characters to the fare of the 1950s Closed Houses.
La Piola di Via Piol has won us over and entertained us, for its cozy, slightly kitch ambience and its very fresh, lively and provocative cuisine, mostly seafood.
Flair, imagination, a pinch of healthy madness and a great desire to play it down: this is the recipe, simple and successful, of Chef Mimmo Girioli, who has brought a breath of originality and "southern avant-garde" to a still somewhat sleepy corner of the Turin belt.
If you would like to give the Chef carte blanche in arranging for you a tasting itinerary like ours, you will not regret it. Otherwise, you will have a choice of "softer" dishes, including traditional ones, on the menu.
