Ristorante Carignano is based in Turin inside the prestigious Grand Hotel Sitea, right in the center, a stone's throw from the Egyptian Museum and Piazza Castello.
Since November 2022, Davide Scabin, one of the most distinguished chefs in the history of Italian cuisine, has taken over its kitchen reins as creative director for the entire GHS restaurant offerta.
The restaurant is accessed from the halls of the hotel by following a real predefined ritual path that passes through a stop at the American Bar, where customers are invited for an aperitif.
The pleasure of experiencing shared spaces, perfectly aligned with Davide Scabin's idea of the convivial meaning of eating together, will be the leitmotif of an experience under the banner of Latin "luxus," understood as an abundance of delicious things.
The interior is that of a small favor, with parquet floors, light-colored wood paneling walls decorated with modern artwork, and five round, wide, spaced tables.
Even the choice of an absolutely minimalist, neutral-hued setting is made to highlight the colors of the dishes and focus attention on them alone.
Thirteen courses by Davide Scabin constitute an experience that remains indelible in the memory.
Whether you appreciate them or not, for your taste or simply for the order of succession, becomes an almost irrelevant detail: this is haute cuisine of experimentation and/or provocation; it has always been so as the work of an innovator and forerunner Chef like Scabin.
You will certainly not remain indifferent, you will feel emotions and amazement, and you will immerse yourself in a dimension studied at the table for you, made of times, colors, flavors and smells, in the name of the search for an all-round pleasure where food plays an important part, but not the only one.
At Scabin's you go there informed and with a palate already educated and predisposed, so as not to thwart much of the experience.
Even the pairing in wines, which we highly recommend, follows a logic aligned with the tasting path, with a bombastic beginning based on Barolo and Burgundy and ending with the suave acidity of Champagne.
All in all, you experience a beautiful, cultured and sophisticated gastronomic evening in a setting of refined elegance.
