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.

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.
