The bare minimum - Edit
Italy is not a good country for vegans. Together with France it ranks rock bottom on my list of vegan friendly countries in Europe. And if you consult Happy Cow, the city of Turin is even worse than other big Italian cities. And if you happen to stay in the Lingotto area, the choices are even more limited. So let me start out by being grateful that there is a vegetarian restaurant at all: So Green. It is located in the Lingotto shopping mall and it's easy to find (not in some obscure corner).
Read moreAnd the restaurant looks good, fresh with vegetarian and vegan options on the menu. However, most vegan options contain cheese. The waitress spoke only a bit of English and couldn't explain how a vegan option could contain cheese. So I ordered the only item on the menu that didn't have cheese: the "Cous cous curry with vegetables, raisins and sunflower seeds".
Yet, I didn't find any curry, hardly any vegetables, no raisins and no sunflower seeds.
When I looked at the other menu-items, they also seem to contain the bare minimum or less. The pasta with tomato sauce is just that: pasta and some red sauce, nothing on the side. Food is served on a paper plate and to be eaten with a plastic fork.
And yet, I feel I shouldn't complain. Or at least not too much. At least there is a vegetarian restaurant and at least they do offer some food, while the many surrounding restaurants have no vegan options at all (only exception: Pure foods pokebowl at the other end of the shopping mall). So Green may serve just the bare minimum, but it's better than no (vegan) food at all.
Pros: at least there is a vegetarian restaurant at all, friendly staff, English menu (on request)
Cons: bare minimum food (or less), paper plates, plastic forks

Not what I expected - Edit
I visited this place recently as it was marked as a vegetarian place. There was a pasta with tomato sauce marked as vegan but when I asked for it the waiter said that there was also the tuna inside the sauce and they cannot make it vegan. There were also animal meat options like ham that they proposed to us. I’d liked to give one star but as long is marked as vegetarian I cannot

Veg “fast food” - Edit
This is a nice option to have when you’re in the Lingotto mall to watch a film, since there aren’t many vegan options elsewhere. It’s a quick service restaurant, the staff members are personable and there are many vegan options in this mostly vegetarian place. I picked a burger and a taco chips side but the sauce for the chips was lacking. Small selection of desserts that were pretty good. I really liked the juices, nice and fresh.
Read morePros: Vegan-friendly, Not just burgers/wraps
Cons: Some flavours were questionable.

Cibo senza carattere - Edit
Riso basmati piselli e melograno... basta bollire e mettere insieme? Estratto di mela, finocchio e zenzero... è denso come uno smoothie si sente solo la mela. Alla richiesta di migliorare la bevanda mi hanno risposto di sì, ma il gusto è solo uno: mela.
