Hanno anche il tiramisù veganooo!

Posto molto carino, cocktails buonissimi e cibo davvero ottimo. Ho preso un taco con pulled pork fatto di jackfruit e hummus con crudité. TOP il tiramisù con mascarpone di anacardi!

Lovely place

Loved the place, great atmosphere. Food is also very good (and lots of vegan options), although a bit expensive for Aperitivo. Will definitely go back! #Veganuary

Food is good

We were looking for a "quick" place to eat. While it took a while to put our orders in, once we did, food came pretty fast.

Vegan option is good, they also have good non alcoholic cocktails.

This is rather a place to hang out, specially on a Friday night (the day we went), but overall good experience. There were a few items to choose from.

Good atmosphere and Décoration.

Pros: Few, clearly labeled vegan options

Great place, somewhat expensive

The atmosphere is great and it has a nice selection of vegan dishes, as well as interesting cocktails. The prices are a bit high when you consider that serving sizes are often small and you may leave not feeling full. I would still strongly suggest it.

Great atmosphere

Loved the food. The staff and the atmosphere. Would recommend to go here for a group of friends for drinks and share some food. I loved the pulled jackfruit burger

Not meant for just having a meal

Overall, food is not the strength of this place.

There are few vegan options: 4 appetizers and 1 main dish (which is a falafel burger/wrap). It's mainly a place for having alcoholic drinks.

I tried one appetizer ("Guacamole Friends") costing 7€. It was a small vase of decently-tastimg guacamole, surrounded by lots of basic, salty nachos that could perfectly be from a supermarket bag of nachos.

The falafel burger (10€) came with some tasty (maybe too salty) potato chips that looked artisan. The burger itself was not very complex nor really tasty.

Pros: Kind service, polite with foreign people., Spacious interior, with tables outside as well.

Cons: Few vegan options., Simple food, not worth the price., The place is meant for having drinks.

Not what I expected

The place is cosy and artsy. I found the music selection interesting, but the volume was a bit too loud. The service was really friendly and welcoming. I, however, didn't enjoy the food very much. Their guacamole costs 7 euros and is definetely overpriced (comes with a lot of cheap, salty nachos); and their falafel burger was a bit dry and kinda small for 10 euros, although the falafel and chips were good.

Updated from previous review on 2022-07-04

Pros: Friendly, welcoming staff.

Cons: Not that many vegan options, Overpriced.

Thanks for the review. I only went there a few years ago, when they were fully vegan and the options were tastier.

Yummy yummy cocktails

This is a refreshing surprise compared to most bars offering cocktails. Great quality and delicious. I was happy to see at least 4 or 5 vegan options clearly labeled on the menu

Pros: Good atmosphere, staff, cocktails

Cons: On the pricier side

Super

Burger di falafel buonissimi, anche le patate con la salsina sono fantastiche ma il piatto top per eccellenza per me rimane il loro pane con l’avocado e la maionese veg ! Ottima cena!!

Pros: Molte opzioni veg

Cons: Un po’ lenti

A bit disappointing

The place is nice, it is more a bar than a restaurant-and the food is like that (but a healthy vegan version). No problem here, if the prices wouldn't be that elevated.
I liked the atmosphere there.

Hi Alex, thanks for your review. Actually the price of our combo 3 tapas + cocktail is 15€..
If you think that all is homemade (even the milk) and express is not that high.
See you again!

Lovely cocktails, a few vegan options

Only popped in for a few drinks and a small bite to eat. They have a few vegan options, we went for potatoes and open avocado. The food was really nice and presented well. There were a couple of other vegan options which were clearly labelled on the menu such as a soup and main falafel dish. Cool vibe in the place and the bar staff were friendly. The cocktails got us suitably wavy😄

Pros: Tasty food, Great drinks

Cons: Not loads of choice

Very disappointing

We first came here 2 years ago and all was vegan and great. Now it is primarily meat, fish and cheese with a few vegan options - and even those were supposed to be served with butter or cheese which they removed.. A real disappointment!

Pros: Cocktail bar

Cons: Hardly any vegan options, Expensive for a slice of bread with avocado....

Great spot for tapas

We stopped in here to begin our night of vegan restaurant hopping in Turin and were rewarded with some very tasty tapas. The pate, versions of which we have encountered all over Europe, was first rate. The lasagne basket is a house specialty and not to be missed. Had a very interesting conversation with our server about the mayors proclamation two years ago to make Turin a vegan city.

Tapas & Drinks

Went here for some food and drinks, the place itself is a really cool bar, really hipster style. The staff are really nice! The food was really nice as well, I can see why some people say it’s more snacks because the dishes are small but they advertise it on there menu as tapas so it is a tapas menu! The clubber Sandwich & baked potatoes where my favourites!

Ciao Mikeando! Yeah, you're right, our menu is a tapas menu with smaller size options for aperitivo or dinner. Thanks for your opinion, we like to always leave a good feeling in our customers. Hope to see you again very soon! Cheers

nice for aperitivo

We had a nice evening with friends here, good drinks and a relaxed atmosphere. The service was really super friendly and spoke perfect English.
The food is tapas style and a lot of it was very good, the sandwiches, the potatoes, hummus... (because we were a lot of people we really tried the whole menu :-)). In my opinion it is just a bit overpriced and also the burgers tasted a bit bland.
One thing I really really liked was that there is no labels, I was the one who suggested to go to this place and the only one who was vegan. The others didn’t even notice we were in a vegan place and enjoyed a lovely evening without missing anything.

Pros: tapas style food, a lot of choices , very good Drinks

Cons: bit overpriced

Lovely place

I went here for dinner which was totally fine, but I think is better suited to having drinks and snacks. There are two vegan burgers to choose from and then a range of tapas type things. The staff are really lovely and the place has a really good vibe.

great bar and food

We came here twice on our trip to Turin and really enjoyed both the atmosphere and the food. From our experience, Gørilla serves great well-seasoned vegan fast food with fresh ingredients plus it is a great spot to spend your evening in Turin.

Pros: atmosphere, hospitality, food

Good drinks and very bad food

First, this place looks like a bar, not a restaurant.
We ordered a tasting plate to share and it was very bad quality food! Not fresh, not delicate and not tasty, awful.
The two cocktails were better, good gin actually.
To avoid if you are gourmet and want a real taste of italian vegan cuisine!

Pros: Good cocktails

Cons: Bad food, Bad food, Bad food

Hi Julie, actually we are a cocktail bar. In your tasting mix to share you had bruschetta, hummus, nachos and avocado toast. I'm afraid you hadn't a positive feelings about your plate but I can truly say that we produce daily all the things you ordered, nachos too. We don't use anything but fresh goods. We keep trying to improve our food experience reach always higher standards so thanks for your feedback. I hope to see you soon back here to have another try.

Vegan abd cocktails

Lovely restaurant with an all vegan menu. Great for me as a vegetarian with lactose intolerance. The staff were incredibly friendly and I highly recommend this establishment if you're visiting Turin.

Pros: All vegan food, Friendly staff, Beautifully decorated

Cons: Expensive cocktails (but when aren't they?)

Great evening spot

A small but well executed range of dishes drawing inspiration from various corners of the globe. The food was very well presented and tasted great too. The staff we're friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. They also made a mean long island iced tea and had a large range of gins and rums which always scores highly in my book.

Pros: Good food, Good cocktails, Relaxed atmosphere

Cons: Drinks were a little pricey

good food, friendly staff

We had dinner here. The food was very good and original, and good juices and cocktails. We were there with our 1.5 year old daughter who made quite a mess, but the place was rather empty and the stuff was accommodating.

Pros: good food, nicely decorated

Cons: open only in evenings

Fresh young ambiance

This is a wine bar and vegan restaurant, serving mainly burgers with a couple of other dishes /light meals, all vegan. The wine however is "bio" not vegan. Bio means low food miles and possibly ecologically sustainable.

I had the avocado on toast. This was a little disappointing and really no different from what I make at home. I did enjoy the polenta chips with aoli though. My Partner had a burger and said it was delicious. He also had crumbed potato chips which were good.

The feature though was the wine bar aspect with quite a crowd of young people socialising. There was considerable happy noise and quite loud music. I liked that there appears to be a vegan social scene here!

Pros: Ambiance, Social atmosphere, vegan food

Cons: wine is bio not vegan, a bit noisy if you are after a quiet meal

Ciao Berylvt, our bar is known also as a cool cocktail bar so the scene is quite vibrant during the weekends. Thanks for the note about natural wines, it's something we have to implement in our roster. Hope to see u soon here for your next Turin stop.
