AI summary of what 7 dish mentions say about the food
Reviewers consistently praise the Vitello Tonnato as the standout dish, with the overall vibe being one of satisfying, no-fuss Italian comfort that feels both authentic and approachable.
“This is not real vitello tonnato — it's mayonnaise with a hint of lemon, super acidic. It tastes like crap. The sauce is just wrong, it's not the real thing. I'm disappointed.”

A disappointing old-school trattoria in Turin with some decent pizza and a great gelato, but most dishes are poorly executed — overly salty pasta, fake vitello tonnato, and a fish full of bones.
Dishes mentioned
Pizza con Funghi, Rucola, Pomodorini e Salsiccia
The pizza is actually good — the base is well-cooked, the mushrooms, rocket and cherry tomatoes are tasty. But the sausage is disgusting: it tastes raw and has a weird texture, like it's full of juices. Without the sausage, it's a solid pizza. I'd give it a 7 out of 10.
Vitello Tonnato
This is not real vitello tonnato — it's mayonnaise with a hint of lemon, super acidic. It tastes like crap. The sauce is just wrong, it's not the real thing. I'm disappointed.
Linguine alle Cozze
The pasta is basically plain — just linguine with mussels placed on top, no sauce. The mussels are a bit tough, and there's a weird fishy smell, like my uncle's fishing boat. Also, I found a mussel shell string in it — disgusting. The pasta is overcooked for my taste, too al dente. Too salty overall.
Agnolotti Piemontesi al Sugo d'Arrosto
The filling is actually good, but the pasta is way too salty — like, really salty. The pasta is a bit overcooked for me, too al dente. The sauce has been sitting there for ages, you can tell from the folds in the pasta. Not great.
Cotoletta di Pollo con Prosciutto e Fontina
This is terrible. The chicken is dry, the prosciutto and fontina don't save it. It's just bad. I swapped plates with Bea and hers was even worse — the orata had too many bones. Honestly, I couldn't finish mine, first time in my life I leave a plate.
