Bicerin (from bicchierino—small glass) is a local specialty, which lends its name to this café. It is a traditional Turinese warm drink made from chocolate, coffee and milk mixed together in precise quantities and served in large glasses. It was a morning ritual for all social classes for more than a hundred years, but fell out of popularity for a while. This drink has become popular once again. In fact this pit stop is a must for visitors and habitués of the Piazza della Consolata. Decorated in wood, mirror and marble inside—outside the cast-iron capitaled columns are original.
