GustoTram in Turin: an Intimate Journey Through History and Taste
Imagine a November evening in Turin: the city moves by silently outside the windows of a historic tram, bathed in the soft glow of artist lights. This is GustoTram, an experience created by the Slurp! team—”moving dinners” that let you enjoy a meal while traveling through the city’s most iconic streets and squares. A ninety-minute journey that feels like a privilege, an exclusive way to experience Turin as never before.
A Table with a View Among the Wonders of Turin
The GustoTram is like a window onto the city, a way to dine that offers a privileged perspective of Turin, suspended between local flavors and history. From Piazza Carlina to Piazza San Carlo and all the way to the Parco del Valentino, the tram moves slowly, gracefully winding through the heart of the city with a timeless elegance. As Italo Calvino wrote:
“The city does not tell its past, it contains it like the lines on a hand.”
And from aboard the GustoTram, the lines of the city reveal themselves like a hidden narrative, granting a truly privileged journey where each turn reveals a detail, each square a special corner.
A Dinner That Tells the Story of Turin
On the GustoTram, each dish is crafted to tell the story of the city. From vitello tonnato to other typical dishes of the Piedmont region, the menu follows the seasons and local ingredients, transforming the meal into an experience that brings taste and sight together. Observing life in Turin, Cesare Pavese once said:
“In Turin, you are never alone.”
On the GustoTram, the connection with the city becomes intimate and personal, as if Turin itself were dining at your table, offering an authentic connection to the city, through the beauty of its places, the flavors of its local cuisine, and the gentle rhythm of the tram.
Turin from a Different Point of View
Seeing Turin from the GustoTram is to experience the city from a perspective that few people get to enjoy. Squares, porticoes, and historic landmarks come and go in a sequence of visual stories, telling history with an intensity that Friedrich Nietzsche felt in this city when he wrote:
“Turin gives me a profound impression of strength and beauty.”
The tram isn’t just a means of transportation; it’s an observatory offering a privileged view of Turin, revealing details that often go unnoticed in the rush of daily life.
How to Reserve a Seat of Honor on the GustoTram
The GustoTram experience in Turin is exclusive and requires advance reservations, especially if you are visiting on vacation and want to avoid missing out. With only a few tables available, it’s a special opportunity that invites you to relax and fully take in the experience. The fixed menu changes with the seasons, accompanied by a selection of local wines, making the trip an immersion in the food and wine culture of Piedmont.
Simple dishes are crafted to be served on a tram that lacks a full kitchen for on-the-spot preparation. On our evening ride, we began the meal with a classic vitello tonnato, followed by a seasonal vegetable flan with Parmigiano cream—a local favorite. Next, we had a mille-feuille lasagna with 100% Fassona beef ragù and free-range chicken strips in a Granda curry sauce. For dessert, we enjoyed panna cotta topped with cacao crumble. These dishes were paired with a Nebbiolo d’Alba from Cantina Oriolo, a Cuvée Brut San Maurizio from Cantina Vallebelbo, and a Ribolla Gialla Venezia Giulia IGT from Cantina Ponte.
Umberto Eco once highlighted the importance of slowness as an antidote to modern frenzy, and the GustoTram embodies this spirit perfectly, allowing guests to rediscover Turin at a timeless pace.
Why Choose the GustoTram in Turin
Dining on the GustoTram means treating yourself to an experience that goes beyond just a meal: it’s a privilege, an invitation to slow down and observe Turin from a rare perspective. It’s more than just a dinner; it’s a special evening that lets you experience the city as those who truly appreciate it do—without hurry. For those looking for a new and unique way to experience Turin, the GustoTram offers an exclusive view, a journey that is a story, a discovery, and a tribute to the city.
