A Morning with a Chef: The Grand Torino Market Experience

A Morning with a Chef: The Grand Torino Market Experience 

The Story

Friday morning in Turin isn’t just another day — for Chef Abram, it’s the highlight of the week. It’s when the city wakes up with full flavor, when the markets overflow with life, and when inspiration is waiting around every corner.

This experience invites you to step into the chef’s ritual: the places he goes to spark ideas, reconnect with old friends, and taste the city’s pulse. From coffee at his favorite historic caffetteria, to meeting Turin’s oldest cheesemonger, to snacking at an antique pizzeria — every stop is a page from Abram’s personal story.

The journey flows naturally through the Quadrilatero Romano, the buzzing Porta Palazzo Market, and the modern Mercato Centrale. Along the way, you’ll share tastings from Abram’s trusted vendors and artisan friends.

The finale? A light Piedmontese lunch with wine pairings in a cozy wine bar — the kind of place where Turin slows down and flavor takes over.

It’s not just a food experience. It’s a scroll through Turin guided by a chef’s passion, on his favorite day, in his favorite corners of the city.
