Controcorrente Via San Paolo Reviews
This restaurant serves both land and sea dishes, and the excellent selection focuses on the latter, both on the menu and the daily special, which adds a touch of variety and freshness to the menu. The portions are generous and the flavor is excellent. Seating is set in a small room overlooking the outside entrance, the kitchen, and the unisex restroom. Satispay is accepted as a payment method.
Excellent little restaurant, with a variety of dishes that change daily. I've been here several times for lunch, and the food has always been excellent and reasonably priced. If you book before 12:00 and specify your dish, the wait is minimal. The atmosphere is very informal, and Paolo, the owner, makes you feel at home. Pictured is a grilled sea bass with a side salad.
We felt so lucky to have found this place on our short stop in Turin. Its a very comfortable small restaurant, friendly owner (with a great sense of music, might I add 😁), delicious food with a great price to portion ratio. The visit made us all smiley with a full belly in the end. Very recommended!
It's been a year now since Turin became one of the cities that have crossed paths with my destiny, and I've been living here permanently for almost two months. A year ago, in November, around this time, I arrived in the city for the first time for work. That evening, going out for dinner, I was directed to this small restaurant, not far from the hotel where I was staying. Even from the outside, the place conveyed a pleasant feeling, due to the contrast between the cold and dark outside and the warmth of the chandeliers that, through the glass, revealed the dining room and the people sitting inside. Since I entered that evening, Paolo's little restaurant has become for me, as it has for many, a regular haunt. Politeness, friendliness, informality, familiarity. There's no pursuit of perfection, but authenticity. The idea is to change at least a good portion of the menu almost daily to offer different dishes and fresh ingredients, according to the seasons, availability, and even ideas, so that neither customers nor owners get bored. And then, to get to the point: the dishes are tasty, well-cooked, and the portions are generous; the prices are more than fair. My friend, it's always a pleasure to return. Enrico
Excellent and very good ! Very helpful to translate and explain the plates !
I had an amazing dining experience at the Italian restaurant. The maccheroni a matriciana was bursting with rich flavors and the fried fish was perfectly crispy and delicious. The service was impeccable, and the ambiance was cozy and inviting. I highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for authentic and delectable Italian cuisine. I'll definitely be returning soon!"
A very nice restaurant, run by a very talented and friendly husband and wife team. The food is truly excellent and made with passion. The mixed fried seafood with calamari, shrimp, and anchovies was delicious and crispy, made to order. We'll be back to try all the rest of the dishes. I wasn't as impressed with dessert because their homemade tiramisu was too wet and had heavy mascarpone, which was unpleasant to the palate. It could definitely be improved. Overall, I recommend it for a relaxed, affordable lunch or dinner. If you choose the fixed-price menu, water and wine are included, and the prices for the various menus are reasonable. Even if you eat à la carte and only order a first or second course, the price isn't too high. Overall, it's good.
Cozy place. Really good food. Different menu everyday and diverse selection of food choices.
excellent food and Paolo is "gentilissimo"
What a nice Ristorante!
Piatti abbondanti e molto buoni, antipasti misti deliziosi. Il titolare Paolo è accogliente e ti fa sentire subito a casa. Ambiente caloroso, ottimi prezzi. Consigliato!
Ci sono stato a cena con un mio collega. Abbiamo preso spaghetti al pomodoro con burrata e cipolle caramellate e per concludere un dolce. Tutto buonissimo. Il titolare molto cordiale, ci tornerò sicu…
Porzioni abbondanti e di qualità. Abbiamo fatto un pranzo in famiglia e siamo rimasti tutti soddisfatti. Personale molto cordiale
