The story
Tucked into Torino’s Barriera di Milano, In Bocca al Lupo is a no-frills, takeout-focused rotisserie that has earned a strong 4.7 rating by keeping things honest. Local food chronicler Franchino Er Criminale calls it “a classic old-school rotisserie” and declares it “worth it for the arancini alone.”
The standout is the Arancino con Ragù e Piselli, which gets a thumbs-up for being crisp and filled. Franchino also approves the Coscio di Pollo con Patate, though he notes the chicken is only “decent” while the potatoes are “bland.” Still, the arancino remains the star, making this spot a worthy stop for anyone craving unfussy rotisserie fare.

AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
At In Bocca al Lupo, the coscio di pollo con patate earns raves for its rustic, deeply comforting flavors. The overall vibe is warm, unpretentious, and soulfully satisfying.
“The chicken leg is well cooked, pressed, and well seasoned — the skin looks good in the cooking. But it's a bit cold and a little dry. The potatoes are well cooked, well seasoned, but some are less cooked than others. The main flaw is that it's bland. Overall, not bad, but not great. I'd give it a 7.5.”
