Turin is known for its rich and varied cuisine, with a focus on fresh, high-quality ingredients. Some of the most popular and traditional dishes include agnolotti al plin (a ravioli-like pasta), Vitello Tonnato (veal in tuna mayonnaise), and Bagna Cauda (a warm fondue-like dip with garlic and anchovies).
