Consorzio

Consorzio is a trattoria at Via Monte di Pietà 23 in the Quadrilatero Romano, the grid of narrow streets north of Piazza Castello that forms the oldest part of central Turin, in Italy's Piedmont region. The restaurant holds a Michelin Bib Gourmand, awarded in both 2024 and 2025, a distinction that Michelin reserves for good cooking at moderate prices. That recognition makes it one of the more reliable choices in the district for visitors who want regional food without tasting-menu pricing, and the price band is the middle tier, roughly two dollar signs on the scale used by this guide.

The kitchen works in the cucina di tradizione of Piedmont and the menu changes with the seasons rather than staying fixed. Two pasta dishes are repeatedly associated with the house: agnolotti, the small filled pasta that is one of the signature foods of the region, and ravioli. Around those, the menu follows the Piedmontese pattern of antipasti, a pasta course, a meat main and a dessert, and visitors should expect the dishes to lean on local ingredients and the slow-cooked, butter-and-broth style typical of Turin rather than on lighter coastal Italian cooking. Because the offer rotates, the written menu on the day matters more than any list of fixed plates; a digital menu is hosted at menu.menumal.com/ristoranteconsorzio.

The dining room is that of a working neighbourhood trattoria: straightforward, relaxed and aimed at locals as much as visitors, with no formal dress code. Piedmont's wine culture is central to the experience, and a list built around local Barbera, Dolcetto and Nebbiolo-based wines is the natural pairing for the food, although the wine list was not verified for this entry.

The restaurant is closed on Sunday and Monday. Opening times for Tuesday to Saturday are not stated on the official site, which lists only the closing days, so visitors should confirm by phone on +39 011 2767661 before going. Reservations are advised, particularly on Friday and Saturday evenings, because the Bib Gourmand listing draws steady demand and the room is not large. Booking a few days ahead is a sensible default, and longer for weekend dinners in spring and autumn when Turin is busiest. The Quadrilatero Romano location also makes it easy to combine with a walk to the Porta Palatina and the cathedral.
