from 1889
Caffè Elena is a coffehouse in constant flux. It has witnessed Carpano vermouth distillation, as well as Cesare Pavese’s poetic verses, new philosophical impulses and, with Subsonica, the vibrant notes of Italian electronic rock.
Praised by manifold Turinese generations, it is a place of by-gone and new romanticisms linked to time passing. You will enjoy a sumptuous, agreeable moment, pampered by the early twentieth century furnishings atmosphere and wrapped in the splendid setting of one of the most beautiful squares in Italy.
