Eating and drinking in Turin

Despite the constant rain the week in Turin was a joy! Mainly because of the great food we ate.
One restaurant I highly recommend is Il Gatto Nero. We went there twice and not only because the restaurant was next to our hotel, but because it was fantastic. Service was slow (and approx. 80 years old), but when one of the waiters asked us whether his father had already taken our order our hearts were warmed and we didn't mind waiting. Maybe it was also the most amazing wine we drank!

One thing we were looking forward to all week was Pasta con Tartufo - truffle pasta. Unfortunately the weather has been very dry the past months so there have been very little truffles so far these season, which means they are small, expensive and maybe not as tasty as they could be. Hopefully the current down pours will change the situation.
For one of our last dinners we went to Da Michele and finally found what we were hoping for:
