The story
Magazzino 52 is the realisation of a simple idea: three friends who share a deep love for wine and good food, creating the kind of place they would want to spend their own days off. The result is an intimate, detail-driven restaurant and wine bar in central Turin, where the bottle is always the centrepiece of the experience.
The team brings distinct strengths to the table. Diego looks after the front of house, crafting a warm, relaxed atmosphere with an eye for detail. Graziano curates the wine selection, drawing on a passionate, ongoing search for remarkable bottles. And in the kitchen, Dario leads a small brigade, preparing dishes that give new life to Mediterranean classics while staying rooted in Piedmontese tradition.
The menu at Magazzino 52 is a thoughtful selection of dishes that breathe fresh air into familiar flavours. The cooking pays particular attention to the local territory and the traditions of Piedmont, while maintaining a clear Mediterranean sensibility. This is refined, seasonal Italian contemporary cooking—precise but never fussy, and always anchored in the ingredients of the region.
Wine is the soul of Magazzino 52. The list boasts more than 1,000 labels, spanning Europe’s great wine regions. The team’s affections are clear: their beloved Piedmont, Tuscany, Burgundy, the Rhône Valley, the Moselle, and Champagne, represented by over 100 different references. The selection leans toward vignerons and producers who inspire genuine emotion. Bottles are also available for takeaway at enoteca prices, while table service pricing applies for wine consumed in the restaurant.
This dedication to quality and value has earned Magazzino 52 a Michelin Bib Gourmand, a recognition of good quality, good value cooking that perfectly matches the restaurant’s ethos: refined, welcoming, and deeply personal.
