Frommer's Review

What claims to be Turin's oldest cafe in continuous operation (since 1763) is famous for its illustrious clientele, which has included Nietzsche, Dumas, and Puccini, as well as its signature drink -- the Bicerin (local dialect for "something delicious"). It's a heady combination of coffee, hot chocolate, and cream -- to be accompanied by one the house's exquisite pastries.
