Family-run trattoria described by reviewers as good value; no menu prices verified.
Da Dino is a family-run trattoria at Via Borgo Dora 33/B in the Borgo Dora quarter of Turin, in Italy's Piedmont region. Borgo Dora lies north of the centre near the Porta Palazzo market, one of the largest open-air markets in Europe, and the area is known for the Saturday Balon flea market and the Gran Balon on the second Sunday of each month. The trattoria belongs to that working, multicultural neighbourhood rather than to the polished centre, and it is categorised here as a trattoria at the lowest price tier.
The cooking is Piedmontese and family-style. Specific dishes and menu prices were not verified for this entry, so the signature offer is best described as home-style regional plates served in generous portions rather than a defined set of named specialities. Reviewers describe the restaurant as good value, which fits its position in a part of the city where traders and market shoppers need an inexpensive, filling meal. Visitors who want classic Turin dishes such as agnolotti, braised meats or bollito misto should ask what is available on the day, since small family trattorie often cook a short, changing list.
The atmosphere is informal and unpretentious, without a dress code and with the noise typical of a busy neighbourhood eatery. It is not designed for a quiet romantic dinner; it suits a casual lunch combined with a visit to the markets or the nearby riverside area. A wine list was not verified, and house wine by the glass or carafe is the usual expectation at this type of venue.
Hours are not confirmed. Reviewers report early opening and service into the evening, so the safest approach is to phone on +39 011 5217118 before going. Reservations are not documented as required, but calling ahead is sensible, especially for groups and on market days when the area fills with visitors. Booking a day ahead is a reasonable default, with same-day calls usually adequate on weekdays. Borgo Dora is walkable from Porta Palazzo, and visitors should keep normal city precautions in mind in the area after dark.
