The story
Tuorlo is not a restaurant built around a single ingredient in the obvious sense. The name itself – Italian for “yolk” – points to something more elemental. As the team explains, the project was born from an idea, not an element in itself. The yolk is presented as a key component in the history of cuisine, a base that works in both simple and complex preparations. It is primordial, versatile, and acts as a binder between rich and poor, modern and ancient.
Located on via Sant’Agostino in Turin’s historic centre, Tuorlo positions itself at the centre – both geographically and conceptually. The space reflects a contemporary approach to dining, with an atmosphere that lets the food speak. The restaurant is open for dinner from Wednesday to Sunday, with lunch service on weekends.
Tuorlo’s thoughtful approach to contemporary cuisine earned it a Michelin Recommended distinction in the 2026 guide. This recognition highlights the kitchen’s ability to balance tradition with innovation, using the yolk as a thread that ties together seemingly opposite worlds. For diners seeking a meal that is both grounded and inventive, Tuorlo offers a clear point of view in Turin’s evolving food scene.
