Yet another of Torino's four cafés rated among Gambero Rosso's top 18 in the country. This one is a little less grand from the sidewalks, right across from Baratti & Milano. The baristi wear white jackets and black ties, serving customers in a tight space of mirrors and dark wood. They use a two-group Ariete, but when asked they dismiss the importance of the machine: it's all 'miscela' (if only that we're true). So they are quite proud of their roasts. Yet they do perhaps pull the best espresso shot in town. It has a speckled, even, medium brown crema of decent thickness, a potent aroma, a medium body, and a flavor of pepper and spices. Served in Mulassano-logo ACF cup. ?1.
