Kipling In Torino

30/03/2024: The recent opening of the Turin-Caselle airport -Cirie-Lanzo Germagnano railway line, now managed by RFI, favored the discovery of this excellent Osteria di Germagnano for my wife and I. Located just 200m away. from the station. The welcoming environment, impeccable service and kindness made us very happy, even more so with the fixed menu of the day for lunch, but with a choice of three, first courses, three second courses and three side dishes, wine in a carafe and water included. The Nebiolo is excellent. All for the truly favorable amount of €13 per person, coffee not included. The well-presented and delicious dishes meant that, after two weeks, we returned again on a Saturday. I also took steps to talk about it positively to former colleagues and friends because I felt it was my duty. I will go there again on April 11, this time in the company of former colleagues. Good work and many thanks to the dining room and kitchen staff.

10/03/2024: Quiet trattoria with a slightly revisited Piedmontese menu with excellent ideas also well presented on the plate. It's a shame that some courses are really subpar. Excellent veal with tuna sauce but a trio of Fassona jokes with meat minced and pulled back so much that it seems foamy. Bad tripe and boiled... boiled too long. Washed out. Other dishes are better but three stars are an incentive to do better. All in a clean and tidy environment but decidedly cold in temperature. Not really pleasant despite the kindness and efficiency of the girl who served.
