THE WONDERS OF LOCAL CUISINE, The Wonders Of Local Cuisine

Hi, my name’s James, and I’m your personal guide. Along with MyWoWo, I’d like to welcome you to one of the wonderful flavors of Turin’s cuisine.

Turin is famous for its cuisine, offering numerous fine dishes and outstanding wines.

Let’s begin with the starters. The most famous is vitel tonné, a cold veal roast served with a mayonnaise and tuna sauce. Local menus also feature albese, extra-thin slices of raw beef from the Piedmontese Fassona breed of cattle, or battuta, the same raw meat but chopped with a knife.

Other starters include trota marinata, trout marinated overnight in vinegar with onions and sage, and acciughe e la lingua di manzo, boiled tongue in salsa verde, a green sauce made from chopped garlic, anchovies and parsley.
