AI summary of what 2 dish mentions say about the food
Ruspante’s patate, a humble potato dish, earns fervent praise for its rustic perfection. The overall vibe is one of unpretentious, soul-warming comfort food done right.
“These are still Turin-style, so boiled rather than roasted, but they're cooked properly — they're soft and pleasant to eat. They don't match my taste, but they accompany the chicken well.”

Polletto Piemontese
Finally, a good one. This is a small chicken from Piedmontese farms — you can taste the quality. It's cooked very well, seasoned very well, and the skin is actually a bit crispy, not as flabby as I feared. They cook it at low temperature. Inside you can see a little oil and paprika, it gives a good kick. For €7 it's a great price, especially in the center. I give it a full 8: first because I spent little, second because finding places that serve good food right in the center is rare. This is an excellent product.
