What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Antica Bruschetteria Pautasso offers an authentic taste of Piedmontese tradition, with many praising the rich flavors and friendly service. While some dishes like the Ragu and veal cheek are highly recommended, a few reviewers found the Bagna Cauda's intensity or other dishes to be less impressive. Occasional issues with opening times or drink temperature have been noted.
"It was a pleasant experience of Piedmont dishes - delightful & unexpected. Our waitress for the evening was marvelous. Should have gotten her name but the young bespectacled lady spoke very good English & she explained the dishes very well to us.
We ordered the Ragu which was delicious, the veal cheek with vegetables, braised beef & the tripe (my absolute favorite!). Desserts were good too - Apple cinnamon pie, chocolate slice & panna cotta with caramel. House pour red wine was easy drinking & yummy"

"Good restaurant to try local food. The bagna cauda is totally worth trying although quite salty. I do have to mention that we came for our reservation at the opening hour but the opening was delayed by 20 minutes, we waited outside with a lot of other customers."
Richard Akman
"Average. Service is good. La Bagna Cauda it’s overrated. Is a sauce of anchovies and garlic. We order several plates and the good one was veal and came with a hot pan to cook ourselves. The beer was hot (not tepid, hot)."

8 Best Restaurants in Turin for First-Time Visitors
Hands down one of our very favourite restaurants in Turin was Antica Bruschetteria Pautasso. You can order traditional Turin dishes or more contemporary eats while reveling in the cozy, softly lit atmosphere. They are particularly famous for the typical garlic-rich bagna cauda (they make it also without garlic) and for a good reason.
