A Japanese spot in the heart of Torino

12 June 2016 by Lori Leave a Comment

There is a nice spot in Torino where you can eat a great Japanese soup. Ramen-ya-Luca is in the area called “Quadrilatero Romano”, a few minutes far from Piazza Castello, in the heart of the city where you can savour an incredible Ramen.

The location

Nestled in the heart of Turin, Italy, Quadrilatero Romano is a captivating district that takes visitors on a journey back in time. With its cobblestone streets, ancient architecture, and charming squares, this ancient quarter exudes an irresistible old-world charm. Steeped in history, Quadrilatero Romano is a treasure trove of hidden gems, including artisan shops, traditional eateries, and quaint boutiques. It’s a place where modern life and historical heritage blend harmoniously, offering a unique and authentic experience for every traveler. Whether you’re meandering through its narrow alleys or sampling delectable Italian delicacies, Quadrilatero Romano promises an unforgettable adventure in the timeless heart of Turin.

The little restaurant

This Japanise spot in Turin only serve ramen, a traditional soup prepared with noodles, meat, or occasionally fish. I have never been to Japan, but a friend who occasionally goes there told me about this restaurant and that their ramen is very similar to that of Japan.

Since the place is very little, it is highly recommended to book in advance, especially during the weekend. The area is, in fact, full of trendy bars and restaurants, and, finding a place to eat on a Saturday night might not be that easy.

The menu

On the menu, there are a few appetizers, 6 types of ramen, a few sweets, and drinks. Since the ramen dish is quite big, I suggest you have it first, maybe with an appetizer to share, if you are hungry, and eat while waiting and then eventually ask for a dessert.

I tried onigiri (2 pieces per serving, I just had one, since it was big) and a shoyu ramen, soup with bacon, soya sauce, and handmade noodles, while my friend had the other onigiri and spicy ramen. The price for coffee, water, and service was 15 euros each.

The quality is great, the ingredients are fresh and you can see the cook while preparing your ramen. Plus noodles are homemade and prepared with durum wheat flour.

Dishes are lactose-free (yeah!)

The atmosphere is cozy. The waitress and cook are brother and sister. The girl is nice and will help you choose the best ramen for you. They come from Albania. A real melting pot for this little corner of Japan, in Italy, owned by an Italian but managed by two guys who settled in Turin years ago.
