Caffè Al Bicerin. Founded 1763, Turin.
Imagine yourself in the mid-1800s.
You are basking in the aromas that envelop you. Take a seat at the very same table where Cavour sat. Order a bicerin and savour its bittersweet flavour of chocolate, coffee and cream. This, and only this is the bicerin, a drink that has come to represent Turin, created here, on the site with the same name.
It’s a place where the art of tasting has made its mark in history.
Cross the threshold of the Caffè Al Bicerin and discover the warm elegant ambience of this petite locale, exactly as it was 200 years ago. This is an unforgettable experience and a must for all those who love the art of tasting.
Now as it was before.


The Caffè Al Bicerin is part of the Association of
“Historical Locales of Italy”, that are responsible for conserving the integrity of these places and promoting their public image. Due to the importance of their work, the historical locales make every effort to retain memories of the past by using period furniture, original recipes and simple little things of the past. This heritage is of significant, cultural, artistic and gastronomic value. These places represent a fascinating resource which the city offers to its inhabitants and tourists and it’s right and proper to protect and show them to the public, all-be-it outside the national borders. Italy as a country can boast such great historical riches in its many locales founded centuries ago. There are a good 177 that have been conserved in their original state over the last 70 years, testimony to tradition in a world often given over to the banal.
