Tasty Treats in Turin

It's true! The guide books say that if you order a drink at the big cafes in Turin you will be served tasty treats. We found this to be true and regretted even ordering dinner because we were offered so many snacks. The afternoon began and we walked down the Via Roma to the Cafes on the large piazza. My husband and I each ordered a drink and were then served little sandwiches with them - for free! After wandering more and enjoying a delicious dinner we went on the search for ice cream. We returned to the same piazza, but tried the cafe opposite the one before. With our drink and ice cream we were served up a feast: dried ham sandwiches, frittata sandwiches, chips etc. Again, for free! I would love to return to Turin to have a similar gourmande experience. The next time I won't eat my dinner so I can enjoy the tasty snacks and drinks!
