Piccolo Lord

Piccolo Lord is an elegant restaurant in central Turin, situated between Gran Madre and the Mole Antonelliana. Established in 2005 by chefs Diego and Valentina, it reflects their experience acquired in local venues and a notable Italian restaurant in London. The space features two rooms with exposed brick ceilings that create an intimate and refined atmosphere. The cuisine focuses on Mediterranean dishes that highlight sea and land ingredients, staying closely attuned to seasonal availability and the rich Piedmontese culinary tradition. Bread and pasta are crafted in-house, with specialties including Alba white truffle, Piedmont porcini mushrooms, and regional produce. The wine cellar offers over 400 labels, featuring top Piedmont producers, Italian wines, and French champagnes. Chef Diego Luparello curates a menu that often includes standout dishes such as chickpea tacos with hen and hazelnuts, steamed trout filet with raspberry carpione gel, finely chopped raw meat with foie gras and sautéed shrimp, fresh egg maccheroni with almond pesto, and lamb loin with pistachios and mint. Piccolo Lord also serves tasting menus of five or eight courses, complemented by a selection of over 100 distillates for after-dinner enjoyment.
