    Eataly

    Posted by bluewilson 9 January 2008

    A former Vermouth factory, Eataly is a huge and beautifully renovated food produce centre. It is dedicated to the Slow Food Movement which is a Turin-based NPO that deals with promoting food of high quality and fair production.

    The food hall comprises 10 themed bar-type eateries where you can sample or actually sit down for lunch (meat/cheese/pizza/pasta and ice cream, to name a few). There is also a vast more supermarket-like food hall where you can shop until your heart's content.

    Best things are it's reasonably priced, outside and high stool-seating make for great lunch, all the cooking and food prep is done in view of the customers so it's fun to watch and there are loads of people on hand to give you expert advice (all
    very knowledgable).

    Best place in Italy for buying, seeing, eating and learning about Italian food.

    Eataly, Via Nizza, 230 / 14, Turin Lingotto, Italy

    Nearest station is Turin Lingotto train station. Follow the signs for Lingotto Fiere/8 Gallery.

    Via Garibaldi

    Posted by eggpete 22 January 2007

    Via Garibaldi is a long pedestrian shopping street in central Turin, and it's worth a visit just for the beautiful buildings.

    There are high street stores along the street, and a branch of the Japanese chain Muji.

    Via Garibaldi, Torino, Italia
