It’s very near the Porta Susa station and not far from the center of town. Its owner, Domenico Cairola was a famous alpine climber back in the fifties. He had to stop climbing after spending a whole night way up in the mountains at 30 below to help an injured friend: after that night he lost most of his toes from frostbite. He then owned a factory for a while and finally entered the restaurant business.His son, the chef, worked with Paul Bocuse. The cuisine is exceptional and never repetitive or banal. Domenico Cairola chooses all the wines himself and so his clients get to drink wines from vinyards too small to ever reach international fame but soooo good. Prices are very reasonable considering what you get: a dinner for two usually costs me 80 Euro in all, and that includes antipasto, primo, secondo, dessert and a bottle of wine. Many famous/successful but not obstentatious customers go there.
