4 Soldi

Fifty Years of Honest Piedmontese Cooking

4 Soldi occupies a corner spot in Crocetta that has fed the neighbourhood for more than fifty years — the restaurant traded for decades as Tre Scalini before taking its current name, and the kitchen still works from the same unpretentious, old-school Turinese playbook. It sits a few steps from the Palazzo di Giustizia and a metro stop, in the same quiet residential grid as the apartment.

This is a "piola" in the proper Torinese sense: a no-frills room where the cooking matters more than the décor, and regulars come back for reliably good classics — its gnocchi ai quattro formaggi is one of the dishes locals specifically seek it out for. Go hungry, keep it simple, and expect a crowd on weekend evenings.
