Reviewers rave about the budino, calling it a silky, unforgettable finish. The overall vibe is warm, comforting, and authentically Italian, making every dish feel like a homecoming.
“And we finish, of course, with a nice creamy pudding, but maybe it tastes a bit too much of chocolate compared to amaretto. Still good, and it's a nice portion. The total was €24.50, and they offered me the dessert. Piola 1706, really a great little place to eat typical dishes.”

A great little place in Turin for traditional Piedmontese dishes, with a cozy atmosphere and generous portions.
Dishes mentioned
Vitello Tonnato
This vitello tonnato has a generous portion. For me, this is the taste of celebration — the creaminess of the tuna sauce mixes with the veal, giving you a fullness and roundness in the mouth that's impeccable. Really well done. And I think eating it with your hands makes it three times better.
Agnolotti del Plin
Then we move on to a cornerstone: the agnolotti del plin. Nothing to say about these either, except that they are super indulgent — the collagen of the sauce coats your mouth, preparing it for the explosion of the three-roast filling. Beautiful.
Budino

VITELLO TONNATO in TRATTORIA VS STELLATO Michelin a Torino · @ 00:27
Piola 1706 is a trattoria in Turin focused on traditional Piedmontese cuisine, offering classic dishes like Vitello Tonnato, Agnolotti del Plin, and Bonet at reasonable prices.
Dishes mentioned
Vitello tonnato
This vitello tonnato is a generous portion, with plenty of veal and especially the tonnato sauce. The sauce is left quite coarse, but it's really tasty — that hint of vinegar, caper, and anchovy makes your mouth water and makes you want to keep eating more and more. Eating it with your hands makes it three times better. Really a beautiful vitello tonnato.
Agnolotti del Plin
These agnolotti del plin are probably the first time I've eaten them in a trattoria. In the mouth they almost feel like gnocchi, but then when you bite them the filling explodes with all its flavor. The collagen-rich sauce that coats your mouth is truly poetic. You just close your eyes and enjoy. The only thing is, I don't understand why they give a fork — I'd rather use a spoon to get all the sauce. The filling is a bit dry, but without a doubt a good level.
Bonet
This bonet has a lot of cocoa flavor. I don't taste much amaretto — the chocolate pudding flavor is very dominant, and the amaretto takes a back seat. To be honest, I'm not crazy about amaretti anyway, so this is a great chocolate pudding, smooth, creamy, not bad at all. But for bonet lovers, they might have something to say.
