Vanchiglia reminds me of the tram, at the time of the University. The only way not to lose groped was to attach the name of the street at the line number. Difficult in 1996, penniless and sluggish, I could be interested in the fate of this place run by real characters hani-tos: Pieracci, Nesi & C. The restaurant is, briefly, ugly. Not excessive, not shack (oh my God: Remember a little 'the eighties, with the floor ufifcio legal), not unsuccessful: only ugly. The menu then is compiled with the typewriter . Great. It seems a resolution of strategic BR slipped into the envelope. In short, here there is only substance, no form. The substance is that croutons, with the liver, are delicious. Idem plate peppers and anchovies, which is my starter. Quick service, a kitchen that works - there are several customers, even in week - and quickly arrive at the first: a large portion of guitar Abruzzo "I am the Executioner". We put the question on the marriage abru-Dante, I agree that the bill is Abruzzo pasta, seasoning profanity (most likely they took the name of a D flat, you say?) Instead is Tuscan. Greasy but delicious dish. Flirty Abruzzo, suddenly ordered too kebabs (we call them kebabs, and they did not make them with lamb) meat is tasty, the dish is very simple, but generous portion not satisfactory. I give up the dessert, the tiramisu is the specialist Giacosa.
Prices: from € the first five to seven, from five to nine starters, second from seven to sixteen (ditto for the fish). Nothing romantic dinner, nothing reverent waiter, nothing design on the walls is a restaurant, to the end. Ugly, who knows of cooked food, and where good food costs to be honest. If you just, go there.

Alessandra accountant tells me one day: go to the restaurant via Vanchiglia Tuscany.
True to the family motto, namely that professionals are always right, I go to Trattoria Toscana Vanchiglia away.
not accept reservations, which usually indicates a healthy business.
" Please of here," and we sit in the room at that moment occupied in half, but are 20.45 and Turin in the summer becomes English and eat in the winter time when we go to bed. There is also the outside, but the spaces are inevitably closer, and in any case we chose the within .
We are three: the instant of this writing, at 18:24 on Thursday 29 July 2010 without having read the review by Ferrero, I absolutely do not remember what they have taken my guests. So I can not tell them, their dishes that I tasted pure, le loro smorfie, i loro commenti, non posso fare altro che parlare di me:
- antipasto: crostini toscani con fegato. Molto buoni: voto: 8
- primo primo: spaghetti alla "io boia" (?). Buoni: voto: 7,5
- secondo primo: agnolotti al ragù. Discreti: voto: 6,5
- dolce: tiramisu. Non va. Voto: 5,25 (non mi ha fatto schifo , semplicemente un tiramisu buono è altra cosa).
Servizio cortese, veloce, non vi rimarranno scolpiti i loro volti ma neppure verrà di imprecare nell'attesa del piatto successivo.
Sconsigliato il vino della casa , consigliato dare un'occhiata alla carta.
Andarci selezionando la compagnia: yes to a meeting of old comrades, so for dinner New Year's football, not for a first date with a woman not to impress your boss, so to have dinner with your spouse dusty (the seventh year of marriage below).
