The story
In the heart of Torino’s Quadrilatero Romano, Piattini Caffe Vini is a compact, carefully curated spot that glides from breakfast through dinner with surprising ease. The energy comes largely from owner Chiara, whom Franchino Er Criminale crowns “the Queen of the Quadrilatero.” Her thoughtful wine list and all-day menu—featuring standouts like Vitello Tonnato, Pallotte Cacio e Ova, and a Crostone with Zucca Blu del Montenisio and Nocciola di Langa—make this a true neighborhood chameleon.
Beyond the savory hits, a French Toast con Uova Strapazzate e Bacon bridges brunch and lunch, while the Cheesecake Basca con Crema di Gianduia offers a refined finish. Whether you pop in for an aperitivo, a casual dinner, or takeout, this $, walk-in-friendly venue proves that doing everything well is an art—and Chiara is its master.

Piattini Caffe Vini’s Insalata russa earns fervent praise as a standout, while the overall vibe is warmly convivial, evoking a beloved neighborhood haunt where simple, honest cooking shines.
“This is one of the best Russian salads in Turin, and I'm not saying that lightly — excluding Chef La Rossa, of course, because his is unbeatable. But this one is really balanced: the vegetables crunch just right, and the mayonnaise isn't too invasive and definitely not the store-bought chemical stuff. Giulia and I both love it.”

Dishes mentioned
Vitello Tonnato
This is one of my favorite vitello tonnatos in Turin. The meat is cut just right — not too thick, not too thin — and the color is beautiful. The sauce is good, not invasive. It's really one of the best in the city.
Insalata Russa
This is one of the best Russian salads in Turin, and I'm not saying that lightly — excluding Chef La Rossa, of course, because his is unbeatable. But this one is really balanced: the vegetables crunch just right, and the mayonnaise isn't too invasive and definitely not the store-bought chemical stuff. Giulia and I both love it.
Pallotte Cacio e Ova
These are my grandmother Anna's recipe. They're crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside. You bite into them and there's that crunch, then it melts into a soft, melty interior. The cheese is strong but not invasive. And this little sauce — look at it, it's a beautiful, simple tomato sauce made well, not clumpy. It practically begs you to do scarpetta. Delicious.
Crostone con Zucca Blu del Montenisio e Nocciola di Langa
I thought this would be more arrogant, but it's actually a wise, balanced combination. It's an autumn-winter pairing that's like playing on easy mode — the ingredients are excellent. Once you get the right quantities and proportions, with the hazelnuts on a well-toasted bread that holds up to the bite, you can't go wrong. Good, very good.
French Toast con Uova Strapazzate e Bacon
This is what breakfast should be — the bread is buttered, the bacon is there, the eggs aren't overcooked. You leave happy. These are the breakfasts that make your day.
