Northern ITALY FOOD!! 🇮🇹 Trying Iconic Piedmont Dishes in Turin

A 24h stopover in Turin, region of Piedmont, Northern Italy, could not go ahead without an Italian food tour of the regional dishes that are so unique in this part of Italy.
Piedmont cuisine is hearty and based on local products such as mushrooms, local cheeses, cured hams; pastas tend to be on the heavier side, with widespread use of batter for thick sauces, nuts as condiments, and so on. Meat is based on veal and combinations can be extravagant.

📍 Gofreria Piemontèisa: https://maps.app.goo.gl/xHiPndeeuyspL...
📍 Poormanger: https://maps.app.goo.gl/iJnTibYF2zRMr...
📍 "La Taverna del Bergè" piola caffè: https://maps.app.goo.gl/WzwojdBYJuk1c...

The first stop is at a small eatery that I suspect goes too unnoticed in Turin. Gofreria Piemonteisa specialises in Gofri, and ancient Piedmont thin waffle stuffed with local ingredients, usually cured hams and salty cheeses. Not only this small family business is the only one in Turin serving Gofri, but they also make their own flour, as the family owns their own mill! Truly a local gem that should be more advertised (or Not!).

After that we visit Poormanger, a restaurant specializing in jacket potatoes Italian-style! Very interesting to notice how a British idea was incorporated into Italian cuisine. I am not necessarily a huge fan of boiled potato, but if you coupled that with burrata and raw ham, I dive in!

Finally, we visit a traditional "Piola" - this is a name that in Piedmont signifies a local family-run restaurant devoted to serving traditional Piedmont dishes only, especially "endangered" dishes. I always love, when I travel, exploring the cuisine that is disappearing, the one that tells about the life of the peasants, and the past generations. The dishes that are being replaced by Macdonalds burgers and other products of globalisation...

This will be the last of the Italy food vlogs series for now. Enjoy!
