The story
Tucked into a quiet stretch of Corso Peschiera, Dumpling Mom has quickly earned its reputation as a Torino local’s favorite, boasting a stellar 4.8-star rating. This snug, casual deli keeps things transparent with an open kitchen where every dumpling is made fresh to order. Counter seating and a takeout-friendly setup make it an easy stop for a quick, satisfying bite, and the menu leans into classic northern Chinese styles with an artisanal touch.
Creator Franchino Er Criminale, in his *Etnico criminale LA HIT DEL PERU'* feature, zeroes in on the xiao long bao as the undisputed standout—brothy, delicate, and executed with care. The chicken and shrimp *ravioli artigianali cinesi* earn a thumbs-up too, though Franchino notes they come across as “a bit mild” compared to the soup dumplings. For a spot this polished and focused, Dumpling Mom proves that doing one thing—and one standout thing—really well is more than enough.

A clean, open-kitchen dumpling spot where everything is made fresh to order. The xiao long bao are the standout, the other dumplings are decent but a bit mild.
Dishes mentioned
Ravioli Artigianali Cinesi Ripieni di Pollo
These are handmade Chinese dumplings with white and whole wheat flour dough, filled with chicken, carrots, corn, spring onion, and ginger. They're big, the dough is thin — not thick and chewy. Good, but I think they lack a bit of character. The filling is generous but the chicken gets lost among all those veggies. I'd give them a 7 or 7.5.
Ravioli Artigianali Cinesi Ripieni di Gamberi
These are the same handmade dumplings but filled with shrimp, eggs, ginger, and zucchini. The dough is thin, the folds are many and well done — you can see the craftsmanship. The shrimp filling is more flavorful than the chicken one, you really taste the shrimp. I'd give them a 7 or 7.5.
