The Porta Palazzo market, "Porta Pila" for the people of Turin, is perhaps the oldest market in the city. Located above the Roman icehouses, near the Porta Palatina, it has entered contemporary literature as the "larder of the city."

This market abounds with rare delicacies to discover and does so in a multi-ethnic context well expressed by Pistoletto's work "Love the difference" that covers its ancient Tettoia dell'Orologio. The tour that Alessio and I propose will take you to discover its secrets while chatting about food, traditions and history. We will be inspired by the stalls, think of a menu together, cook it and enjoy it together.

What a wonderful experience this was! Sara and Alessio were so gracious and welcoming and take such passion in teaching theirs. We loved learning how to make several types of pasta and tiramisu, which were absolutely delicious, and we thoroughly enjoyed the conversation over dinner learning about their lives and culture. Sara and Alessio made us feel so welcome in their home, and Sara took great care in making sure we found them easily and then sent us with photos and recipes to try at home.

Sara e il suo compagno sono dei fantastici padroni di casa: gentili, simpatici, attenti, disponibili. Consigliatissima esperienza.

Great instructors for making pasta, patient with us as we learned and considerate in making the experience so memorable. They went out of their way to introduce local foods and drinks and were very generous and thoughtful. Could not have been better!!

Tradition is an innovation that has brought us this far. Starting from the local raw materials, I transform them following both the lessons from my mother and grandmother and the techniques learned through studies and travels. For me, cooking is primarily about conviviality, sharing, and exchange... Always accompanied by a good glass of wine! I prefer first courses and baked goods, smoked meats, and recently I have been producing homemade cured meats. My favorite dish... It's the next one I'll have the opportunity to try!
