Quadrilatero Romano
The Quadrilatero Romano is Turin's oldest district, laid out along the original Roman street grid of the ancient city of Augusta Taurinorum, its narrow rectangular blocks still visible in the modern street pattern. It's now one of Turin's liveliest neighborhoods for dining, aperitivo, and nightlife.
By day the district has a mix of small shops, markets, and quiet residential streets reflecting its historic layout, while by night its bars and restaurants, particularly around Piazza Emanuele Filiberto, draw large crowds for Turin's aperitivo culture.
It's an easy add-on to a visit to Piazza Castello given its central, adjacent location, and worth returning to in the evening if you're staying in Turin more than a day.
