Frommer's Review

Although some of the mirrored and frescoed salons here serve full meals, we suggest you dine at another restaurant and enjoy only a light refreshment (one of the pastries or chocolates handsomely displayed in the main room) while soaking in the ambience of the classic, century-old Caffè Torino. Many mirrors, smoky oil paintings, and acres of carved wood create just the ambience you would expect to find in one of the city's most beloved institutions. This place is great for a cheap, fast, light meal: At lunch and dinner, bar plates are loaded with bite-size sandwiches, pizzas, stuffed olives, fried cheese and veggies, and other goodies -- all yours for the gobbling with the purchase of a drink.

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
