What customers say?

“ We had a delicious evening meal at this relaxed and charming restaurant and sat outside. We booked online so had no wait. The staff were friendly, helpful and good humoured. We were served partly by the owner who was happy to chat and take time to speak to us, which was nice. The food was tasty and well prepared with lots of vegan spins on traditional italian dishes. The portions were generous, but also well presented. The service was pretty quick and I think the prices were fair. ”

“ TLDR: Best vegan restaurant in Torino, full stop. If you have one choice, you make a reservation here and forget the rest (yes, even the fancy ones). Service: they seemed understaffed the night we were there so I feel bad for the owner who was running plates, but he stepped up! Hopefully, they can find more staff. Atmosphere: nice outdoor seating in a quiet alley. Seating limited so GET A RESERVATION! Food: Fresh, vegan, and delicious. Lots of flavor which is rare in Northern Italy. Usually, most dishes here are bland and creamy. Not at L'Orto! Their blueberry pasta is one of the best pasta dishes we have had in the entire world. Everything was delicious. The food is not fussy or "fancy" but it is just real, good yumminess! ”

“ It’s a nice place, we tried tasting menu for 54 euro. The gnocchi was delicious, the risotto was not tasty. The seitan was very good, the tempeh was not tasty. Desserts can be improved. Waitresses were in tension and very fast, not the best thing for the atmosphere. ”
