One of Torino's grand cafés, and considered one of the top 18 in Italy by Gambero Rosso, this has all the old-fashioned elegance and charm you'd expect. It's spacious and filled with confections, mirrors, multiple tables, and decorative artwork. (And bonus for me: just outside is where Juventus was formed in 1897.) Using their own Caffè Piatti beans and a four-group La Cimbali at the bar, they serve espresso shots with a modest layer of darker brown, uneven crema. It's served a little warm, temperature-wise, and tastes of cedar and mild pepper. Served properly with a glass of water on the side. There are better espresso shots in town, but few are better at the location in which to drink it. ?0.95.
