Porto di Savona: the Piedmontese tradition that withstands time

Overlooking Piazza Vittorio Veneto, one of the most iconic squares in Turin, Porto di Savona is much more than a restaurant: it is a true institution. Since 1863, the year of its foundation, this historic venue has been telling the story of Piedmont through its most authentic flavors.

Entering Porto di Savona means embarking on a journey through time and regional gastronomic culture. The dining rooms preserve the charm of the era with period furnishings and warm, welcoming atmospheres, while the menu is a faithful homage to traditional Piedmontese cuisine.

Among the unmissable dishes are classic appetizers such as carne cruda all’albese, vitello tonnato in its traditional version, and vegetable flan with bagna cauda. The first courses offer true emotions with handmade agnolotti del plin, served with butter and sage or roast sauce, and egg tajarin with meat ragù.

Of course, there is no shortage of hearty and flavorful main courses, such as brasato al Barolo, veal stracotto, and finanziera, for true connoisseurs. All of this is accompanied by a selection of local wines that celebrate Piedmont’s great winemaking tradition.

Porto di Savona is the ideal place for those who wish to discover—or rediscover—the authentic flavors of Piedmont, in one of the city’s most evocative settings. Perfect for a family lunch or a dinner steeped in history and taste.
