“ Nice restaurant steak was abit undercooked but never the less nice tasting charcoal grilled steak and also veru nice chicken, grilled vegtables zuchini and eggplant were served really cold maybe out of the fridge, restaurant could use bigger windows, also restaurant in shady area ”
“ Smallish restaurant, perfect to eat indoor. Oldschool grill is next to the costumers and the room has lots of souvenir for all football fans. Would recommend the lomo. A bit on the pricier side for Torino but totally worth it. ”
“ One of the best steaks I've ever had. Perfectly grilled.The meat was incredibly tender, juicy and the texture was perfect. And the waitress was very sweet! I highly recommend this restaurant for anyone looking for an exceptional steak! ”
“ A nice feeling restaurant which was quite rustic inside which I liked. For starter I had the chorizo which was more like a sausage in England as opposed to chorizo as I know it. The sausage (pork) arrived and was still pink in the middle which is a no go for me. I was unable to seek help as the one waitress, who was very helpful, just had too many tables to deal with. I ended up putting the sausage in a cast pan that was still hot that another diners melted cheese came in. Once cooked, the sausage tasted nice. The steak was also tasty, if not a little over cooked but this can happen. Again the staff were friendly so non issues there and the atmosphere was good as more and more people arrived. ”
“ Nice Argentinian restaurant, most of the the staff were from Argentina so it was easily to communicate with them beside their warm hospitality. I had for the starter Empanadas both carne and verduras which was normal. The main dish Bife ancho taste was good. And finally the best thing for the night dessert of the day (Flan) which was fantastic. Interior was great especially if you’re football fan you’ll find a lot of different club jerseys. ”
