An Authentic Taste of Turin’s Vegan Culture

We found this experience to be a charming departure from standard restaurant visits. Instead of a sterile dining room, you’re welcomed into Nonna Cleme’s cozy house, where every detail emphasizes warmth and tradition. The setting—soft lighting, a convivial table, and genuine smiles—immediately makes you feel at home. It’s this sense of intimacy that transforms an ordinary meal into a memorable evening.

You’ll be greeted with a glass of artisanal kombucha served like a sparkling wine, scented with Piedmontese herbs. That initial welcoming gesture sets the tone: this is about savoring flavors, stories, and the company of a small group. It’s rare to find such a personalized touch in a food experience, especially one limited to just 12 guests.

The Stories and Flavors of Gourmet Vegan Pizzas

What stands out most is the guided tasting of four gourmet vegan pizzas, served one at a time as if in a Michelin-starred restaurant. Each pizza is crafted with sourdough and seasonal ingredients, with toppings that are both inventive and rooted in tradition. For instance, the plant-based Margherita with fresh basil offers a familiar taste with a vegan twist, while the Piedmontese Forest pizza combines pumpkin cream, mushrooms, and a drizzle of olive oil—showcasing regional flavors reimagined.

The Mediterraneo Segreto introduces grilled vegetables and tomato confit, reflecting the sun-kissed flavors of Italy, while the Creazione del Giorno varies each night, giving chefs creative freedom and guests a new experience every time. We loved the way each pizza told its own story, making the meal feel like a culinary journey rather than just a dinner.

Artisanal Wines and Kombucha Pairings

Each pizza is paired with a glass of organic, vegan Piedmontese wine, described as a little poem—aromas from the hills, tastes of the earth. The thoughtful pairings are designed to enhance each bite, turning eating into an emotional experience. The secret intermezzo—a surprise off-menu bite—adds a playful element, breaking the flow of tasting and offering a glimpse into Nonna Cleme’s kitchen secrets.

The kombucha served as a welcome toast is more than just a trendy drink—it’s crafted with herbs from the Piedmont region, adding depth and a sense of place. The dessert, a vegan creation paired with a special limited-edition kombucha, caps the meal and leaves a lasting impression.
