Royal Snack in Turin

  • 31 reviews | 297 travellers
    It was nice to try different delicacies of Turin. The shop staff were very helpful. I wasn’t really sure what to expect (I thought there might be a tour guide talking a group through the sweet treats but the waiter took me to a table and presented me with the local drink and a plate). I enjoyed it. The food was nice quality and the staff were friendly. I recommend it. It felt like Turin’s version of afternoon tea!

Royal Snack in Turin

Enjoying snacks was a royal tradition in 19th-century Turin and today you can experience that way of life for yourself. At the time of your choice, head to the Piazza Carignano square, where you will find the famous Pepino ice-cream parlor which dates back to 1884. This is the venue for a classical tasting of luxury sweets.

The origin of this delicious food goes back 200 years when the nobility of Turin used to meet up to enjoy the quiet and peaceful bourgeois life. With this experience, you will feel like royalty as you take a seat and enjoy a traditional snack.

You'll be able to try an assortment of 8 different sweet treats from the many options of cakes and cookies on offer at the ice cream shop. Pazientini, cat's tongue, ginevrine candies, amaretti biscuits, almond nougat, torcetti cookies, meringues, are just some of the options to choose from.

All these pastries are accompanied by a delicious bicerin, a traditional drink combining cocoa and coffee. What else could you ask for?
