The 'Al Bicerin' Caffè Confetteria founded in 1763 for coffee, you can find it just in front of the Consolata Sanctuary.
Chocolate and creamed milk, 'Fratelli Stratta' (1836) or 'Baratti & Milano' for cream cakes.
The classic coffee restaurant 'Torino' (1903) whose logo just happens to be both the symbol of the city and Torino's other football team 'Torino'.
On a more savoury note, the famous long sticks of bread called grissini on every Italian dinner table were born in 1679 thanks to one man, a local Torino baker by the name of Antonio Brunero.
He was commissioned to make a bread which was 'long, light and subtle'. The request was part of a treatment for the health of the young Duke Vittorio Amedeo di Savoia.
His invention was a great success and the bread became so popular it entered the daily life of the Torinese and soon the whole of Italy - albeit pale imitations of the real thing if you ask any Piemontese.
