Buonissima 2026 in Turin: 150 Chefs, Dinner at the Gam and Preview at Allianz Stadium
From October 21-25, the gastronomic festival created by Matteo Baronetto returns with over 200 events across museums, traditional taverns and restaurants
Turin is preparing for a new edition of Buonissima, the food festival that from October 21-25 will bring over 150 chefs and more than 200 events to the city. The event, created by chef Matteo Baronetto with journalists Stefano Cavallito and Luca Iaccarino, is in its sixth edition.
The highlight at the Gam
The most anticipated moment is set for Thursday, October 22 at the Galleria d'Arte Moderna, which for the first time will host a lunch and dinner show in the Sala del Riposo. Stars Jeremy Chan from London's Ikoyi and Niko Romito from Reale in Castel di Sangro, with an imperial table for forty guests. The event also has symbolic value: it bids farewell to the museum before the start of an important regeneration project.
A festival that lasts all day
This year the program is no longer focused only on evening dinners but covers breakfasts, brunches and lunches. "Ultrabrunch" debuts in The Suite Lab spaces, with Turin pastry-making alongside chefs like Paolo Griffa, Cesare Battisti, Vito Mollica and baker Fulvio Marino. At the Gallerie d'Italia in piazza San Carlo, "Friday I'm in Love" returns, moved to the afternoon with a talk by Jessica Rosval followed by aperitivo and dinner at Ristorante Scatto.
Traditional taverns, bistros and a preview at the stadium
Piolissima doubles by involving over twenty city taverns with fixed menus at 30 euros, while Bistromania becomes a 16-hour festival thanks to twinning with Catalonia. Over 30 Turin restaurants will then participate in "Metti Torino a Tavola" with four-hands dinners. The festival will have a prologue on Sunday, October 18: on the occasion of Juventus-Lazio, the Legends Club at Allianz Stadium will host a menu curated by four taverns that are symbols of the city, including Caffè dell'Orologio and Osteria Le Putrelle.
Commerce Assessor Paolo Chiavarino highlighted the economic impact of the initiative for the territory.
