Solid Italian place, I would definitely return. Good food and service. Small but interesting wine list and no other booze. The... pasta was good, not great - it wasn't cooked al dente. The sauce was quite good though. We also loved the pork chop and therisotto balls. The sauce with the risotto balls was simple but delicious. I loved the Torino Spritz! And the unsweetened teawas good too. We really liked the chocolate souffle. The Limoncello cake was alright but didn't quite have that Limoncellopunch, so I wasn't a big fan. Read more
We can all be forgiven for seeing the small Italian place in a town that's been there a while and assuming we know what it will... be. But this is one you shouldn't. The food here is legitimately special, and brings a creativity that ranges from welcomesurprise to stunning. The black truffle burrata took multiple things that are easy to overdo and turned them into a delight. Wehad a salt and pepper ice cream that was insane, and I don't even like ice cream. Do yourself a favor and stop in. Fulldisclosure: I'm friendly with the owner, but not friendly enough to leave a review I don't absolutely mean. Read more
I made reservations at Torino for my birthday. I had 9 guests with me, and everyone loved it. We started with a few appetizers... for the table. The calamari is AMAZING. So crispy and flavorful. I especially appreciate the spicy sauce option with thecalamari as I love a kick to my food. We shared the burrata, ricotta balls, and crab cakes. I had a bite of each, and everythingtasted great, but the burrata fritti was my favorite! I'm a big foodie, so I then ordered the lobster bisque. The bisque was agreat portion, and I thought the lobster and shrimp meat was generous. For my main entree, I ordered the stuffed flank steakspecial. It was tender and delicious. The servers were attentive and really friendly, and I enjoyed the ambiance. Overallgreat experience, and I will be back. Read more
Service was nice. Food was good but over priced for the portion size. Ten dollars for chopped field greens and balsamic dressing... was too much. The bolognese pasta was excellent but the portion was very small for twenty five dollars. In these difficult timesone pays more attention to these things. It was a bit disappointing. Read more
Wow! Service was splendid. I?m vegetarian and got the Eggplant Parmigiana with Capellini, the sauce was incredible & eggplant... was thin and delicious. They were very careful about allergies. My friend got the Crab and Capellini, it was scrumptious. We satoutside and had ourselves a very nice evening. Highly Recommend. Read more
