Sublime!

Vado all’orto da quando ha aperto con cadenza abbastanza regolare e posso dire che non mi ha mai deluso. I piatti sono vari e ci sono tante proposte glutei free. Il proprietario è molto simpatico e lo staff estremamente gentile! Lo consiglio tantissimo per la ricercatezza degli abbinamenti di sapore e per i dettagli! Super buono!

Pros: Gentilezza, scoperta di nuovi sapori

Wonderful food experience

Dining here is always a great food experience. I can only recommend this amazing place.
Some of the dishes I have tried here include: mayo salad, hummus with raw crackers, cashew tomino, orange seitan with baked onion filled with quinoa, raw mille-feuille cake with banana and coconut.

Update: always strongly recommended

Una delizia per gli occhi ed il palato!

Location splendida, in via Monferrato, di fianco alla Gran Madre. Gentilezza e simpatia dello staff ed in particolare dell’executive chef Eduardo!
Ho cenato con un’amica : il locale è molto bello e i piatti sono super. Abbiamo scelto un tris di antipasti (nota particolare al tomino al verde in versione vegana!! Una delizia per una piemontese!) e poi la moussaka. Per concludere un tortino al cioccolato con marmellata di albicocca e spuma di cioccolato fondente on top.
Tutto da standing ovation. Ritornerò sicuramente!!

Absolutely outstanding

I've visited L'Orto in Turin about 2 months ago, everything was outstanding, really impressive. Very original dishes.
It is not cheap since it is a restaurant with a chef and not a fast food.

Ho visitato l?orto a Torino circa 2 mesi fa, tutto era esageratamente buono, impressionante. Piatti molto originali.
Non è economico ma parliamo di un vero ristorante con chef, non un fast food.

Pros: Original ideas and dishes, Everything vegan and tasty, close the center

Cons: a bit pricey but it is a real restaurant

A fancy vegan resturant

Initially I went here to get a vegan pizza but when I got there it seemed that I shouldn't (it was a quinoa based pizza) so I ordered other things. Be prepared that the place is expensive (around 13€ a dish). It was really fancy and had complicated tastes, maybe to complex for me - I like simple things. So it was good enough taste wise for me but not really tasty.

Pros: 100% Vegan

Cons: Expensive

My favorite restaurant

Definitly my favorite spot in Turin. Edu, the chef, is passionate about his work, and serves vegan and raw plates. The location (near Gran Madre’s church) is beautiful, the restaurant is nice and very clean. The prices are ok.

Excellent dinner

We had lunch in their cafe so visited the restaurant for dinner (different part of Turin). It was even better. They prepare a variety of raw, gluten free and/or cooked. All really fresh and original. The presentation was perfect. English menu for those of us wanting to understand the variety of foods used... Definitely not to be missed on a visit to Turin. Recommend to reserve as they were fully booked but kindly found us a table!

Pros: Excellent fresh food, Great atmosphere

Cons: Limited non-alcoholic choice of drinks

Yummy but expensive

A beautiful restaurant who serve good Italian food. We ate a dish with an amazing and perfect seitan served with sumptuous lentils very well cooked it was delicious !! The seitan starter was good too, we had a super yummy stuffed with migglio artichoke, the tempeh with red wine sauce and polenta was fine and the gnocchis with artichoke sauce delicious !! We ended with tarte tatin which was deceiving (too much crust, not enough apple, a bit dry)

Pros: Really good food

Cons: Too expensive

Nice restaurant with good food

We had a nice meal at this restaurant. My husband and I each got a first and second course and then we shared a dessert. We liked one of the first courses best, but everything was good. The dishes were well composed, nicely presented and they used high quality ingredients. An extra plus for the good service and nice owner.

Pros: Good food, Great service, Nice owner

Lovely place on the quieter side of Turin

I went to l'Orto Gia Salsamentario in January 2016, not long after it had opened, during a stay in Turin. Out of all the veggie places in Turin, it was one of my two favourite.

Food was delicious, surprising and interesting/inspired without being pretentious, which isn't easy to do.

I don't recall exactly what I ordered, but I do remember being impressed by every dish, which doesn't happen often for me. I do remember thinking the almond "Parmesan" was a nice twist on the nut faux cheese.

All in all, I'd recommend aiming for this place if you are in Turin, and I know I'll be going back when I next get to the city!

Pros: Very nice and interesting food, Welcoming, Enjoyable setting

Cons: Slightly out of the way

Wonderful Find

We found this gem on the Internet, not realising what treat we were in for. The restaurant was buzzing when we arrived, but a table for four was found and menus brought. Everything on it was vegan. Of the four dishes ordered, the moussaka and the gnocchi (served with a mouthwatering mustard sauce) were good enough to devour. My chickpea omelet was tasty but a tad dry, as were my husband’s veggie balls. All food was gorgeously presented. We ordered two desserts and four spoons, and the desseet portions that arrived were generous to say the least. The combination of rich chocolate torte and baked peaches was irresistable. In all, a fabulous lunch. Wish this place was around the corner from my home!

Pros: All vegan menu, High quality food, Reasonably priced

Nice menu but disappointing dessert

I dined here in the beginning of July 2018. My starter zucchini flowers with tofu filling was tasty. The first course potato gnocchis with basil pesto was heavenly! Main course with tempeh skewers and bbq-sauce was a very nice portion as well! I was looking forward eating vegan tiramisu so it was quite a disappointment to have their tiramisu that seemed to be some sort of a healthy version with no sugar. The atmosphere of the restaurant was a little bit restless.

Una perla

Una serata speciale, per festeggiare in coppia, ben riuscita grazie all’eccezionale esperienza culinaria, al piacevole ambiente, allo staff cosi attento e gradevole e al titolare che dialoga con estrema simpatia e disponibilità con i clienti ai tavoli.
Il menu è ricco di interessanti scelte tra antipasti, primi e secondi. Abbiamo scelto antipasti e secondi ma è stato difficile rinunciare a dei primi che promettevano. Tra gli antipasti, i cuori di carciofo al forno ripieni meritano di tornare presto. Mentre tra i secondi spicca le medaglie, un hamburger al forno di miglio e mandorle con accompagnamento di patate gratinate e maionese vegetale, da urlo. E infine il touch of class dei dessert. Buonissima la torta al cioccolato crudista ma eccezionale il tiramisu. Quest’ultimo è un vero miracolo, gustoso e semplice nell’offrire un’esperienza che non teme confronti con un tiramisu tradizionale pieno di mascarpone e latticini. La crema è costituita da una besciamella ricavata da latte di cocco e di soia. Caffè e cacao completano. Consiglio assolutamente di non perderla. Nelle foto potete vedere i menu dei secondi e antipasti. Il menu è per più della metà adatto ai glutin free quale sono io.
Prezzi corretti. Torneremo presto

Pros: posizione, qualità, attenzione al cliente, ambiente, design, calore, staff, titolare

Cons: nessuno

Very friendly owner and nice restaurant

The owner of the restaurant was so lovely and asked us about our trip and how we had found the restaurant.
It's a lovely restaurant to sit in with cost decor and good location near the river. The food was tasty, quite small portions but fresh ingredients and wholesome food. Also a great selection of local beer.

Pros: cosy restaurant, friendly staff, good beer and wine

One of the bests

I went there few times and every time everything was good. We usually go for one main dish and some sides plus a glass of wine and we go away happy and satisfied.
Portions are right and well presented. Everything is seasonal and deliciously cooked.
If you get the chance to be seated outside, view is quite a scene.

Pros: Excellent food, Friendly stuff, Good wine

Cons: A bit of heat inside
