La Isla - Torino

Sin dal primo momento in cui sono entrata, mi sono sentita a casa. Da allora, ogni volta che ho voglia di mangiare qualcosa di diverso, vado sempre lì. La proprietaria è davvero gentile (la seconda volta che sono andata si è ricordata di me, davvero carina) e la cucina è ottima, c'è sempre musica piacevole e l'atmosfera è molto familiare. Consiglio vivamente di provare sia il vitello sfilacciato che la bistecca affumicata, non amo la carne ma li trovo buonissimi. Ci sono anche opzioni vegetariane, cosa che apprezzo molto.

Stepping into La Isla is like stepping into a Cuban home full of love! The food is delicious and makes you feel like you are truly in Cuba. We are pescetarian so we chose rice and beans (which comes with plantain), black bean soup, and the fried plantain chips. We asked for an avocado on the side. It was so delicious that we returned later for dinner and ate fried fish (a full fillet) with the rice and beans. The icing on the cake is the atmosphere, the service, the community vibe, the Cuban music, the drums and fabric for sale from Burkina Faso. The owners are genuinely warm-hearted, kind, thoughtful and loving!

Simple but true local! friendly and helpful staff, Cuban cuisine real and good quality. I tasted these dishes and found them well prepared: aroz moro, tostones, platano frito, ropa vjeca, frijoles, bistec, pay de coco. Having lived in Cuba it was a pleasure to taste the flavors of the isla, try this unusual Caribbean cuisine for our latitudes. Continue with love and quality!

I was in this place a Tuesday night, after a rainy day: few simple dishes, reminiscent of the sun of Cuban, cooked with raw materials of quality and softened by the smile of the owner and his family. absolutely recommended for those who want to taste the true Caribbean taste at a very good price.
