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.

We absolutely loved our cooking class with Sarah and Alessio! They went above and beyond to make it such a special experience — the food and wine were incredible, and their warmth and hospitality made us feel completely at home. It was the perfect way to spend our first weekend in Turin and a wonderful introduction to Italian life. Highly recommend to anyone visiting the city!

The Perfect Welcome to Turin! - October 2025

We gave Sara and Alessio five stars but they deserved TEN! It was a fabulous evening of amazing food, great conversation, many laughs, and warm welcoming gracious hospitality. We cannot recommend this couple and this experience enough!!!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a fantastic cooking experience with Sara and Alessio in Turino. We were welcomed into their home and taught how to make the perfect gnocchi, pasta and tiramisu which we enjoyed sharing with them. Their love of food was infectious and their knowledge of Italian cuisine was excellent. We will certainly be trying to replicate these dishes when we are home. Thank you Sara and Alessio. We arrived as strangers and left as friends.

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!
