Ristorante Casa Amélie was born in Turin in November 2017, when chef Guido Perino decided to open his own restaurant, following experiences in many important kitchens. Never more than four ingredients, excellent basic materials and seasonal produces characterize dishes by this chef, originally from Naples. In addition to caring markedly for food, Guido envisages his restaurant as a place where people should feel good and consider themselves "at home", listening to pleasant music, recalling memories, finding flowers and staying on to chat.
A simple table where the "dish" is the protagonist, a very attentive and warm service and a wine chart- about one hundred labels- accurately selected among the excellence of the Piedmont and some "treats" from everywhere.
However, launching one’s business also requires a lot of courage, and inspiration for this was found in "Amélie", a French bulldog died at thirteen overflowing with willpower and grit. It was the fusion of these two feelings which gave birth to the name and the location of Ristorante Casa Amélie, 20 seats, two floors and deliberately minimal style in via Carlo Ignazio Giulio 4b, within the lovely Roman Quadrangle. In April 2018 Casa Amélie was selected by the Chefs Christian and Manuel Costardi for The Fork Restaurants Awards, the prize promoted by Identità Golose to award the best Italian new ventures, thus ranking among the top ten most voted restaurants.
Also, well-known food guides reviewed and suggested our restaurant (Identità Golose, Gambero Rosso with one fork, Espresso and many other).
