Vintage 1997

A classic of the Turin dining scene for nearly thirty years, this venue continues to stand out for its rare consistency, unmoved by passing trends. The interiors, intentionally somewhat old-fashioned – though recently refreshed and perfectly in keeping with the Vintage name – frame the welcome of owner Umberto Chiodi Latini, a maître d’ of great personality and old-school charm. In the kitchen, the offerings have expanded over the years without ever compromising on ingredient quality: notable, for instance, is the attention devoted to vegetables, honored with an entire tasting menu. Alongside indispensable Piedmontese classics – from vitello tonnato in its traditional version, roasted and without mayonnaise, to tajarin – well-crafted vegetarian dishes find their place, such as Sinestesia, a medley of vegetables with citronette and acacia honey, as well as an ever-expanding selection of seafood. The wine list, finally, features compelling verticals from various Langhe producers and beyond, confirming a solid, knowledgeable approach.
