Madama Piola In Torino

06/04/2024: We were deluded by so many nice reviews. Overall we were disappointed with the experience. Let's go in order. Characteristic, clean environment. We were the only table and who knows why... There were two waitresses in the room: one teaching the other. There's nothing bad about it! There were several people in the kitchen, including very young kids (I imagine children of the chefs, etc.). As an appetizer we took the mussels and octopus with potatoes: the octopus was good, the mussels were very seasoned and not cleaned on the outside. First: the paccheri and the risotto alla pescatora, the risotto was cooked well but where was the fish? Second course: fried tuna with pepper: good fried but tuna with too much pepper and undercooked. We ate everything and were a little disappointed. Fish is expensive, it's true, but for the same price you can eat fish elsewhere and definitely better. Everything was surrounded by jokes and laughter between the waiters, hearts and kids. Unprofessional environment in my opinion. It's fine to shorten the distances and the family environment but this is a little too much for me. Being served by a boy who brings the plate by putting his finger inside the plate is not very nice... at the end of the evening they rearranged the furniture on the shelves with us still at the table. Considering everything, unfortunately the review cannot be positive and above all we were very disappointed because reading all these nice reviews we did not expect this... that's all...

01/04/2024: Excellent food, nice, friendly and the price is absolutely right.
