Consorzio

Consorzio is a lively, market-driven osteria on Via Monte di Pieta in central Turin that has become one of the city's defining addresses for authentic, producer-focused Piedmontese cooking. The kitchen works closely with small farms and artisans across Piedmont, building a short menu around what arrives that day and leaning into the region's offal-forward traditions rather than tourist-friendly safe choices. Emblematic plates include carne cruda di fassona, the hand-chopped raw veal from the local Piemontese breed, slow-cooked tripe, and delicate agnolotti del plin. The atmosphere is informal and convivial, with closely packed tables, a buzzing room and a wine list that champions natural and low-intervention growers alongside classic Langhe bottles, an approach that helped make Consorzio a reference point for the city's natural-wine scene. Service is warm and knowledgeable, happy to steer first-timers through more adventurous dishes such as tongue, brain or seasonal bagna cauda. Prices are moderate for the quality, sitting in the mid-range and well below the city's Michelin tables, which is part of the appeal. The room is small and its reputation large, so booking ahead is strongly advised, especially for Friday and Saturday dinner and during the autumn truffle weeks when demand peaks. Lunch is a slightly easier and often quieter time to secure a table.
