How it works
Restaurants and cafés on and immediately around Piazza San Carlo — Turin's elegant central square — charge significant tourist premiums for food and drinks, particularly at outdoor terrace tables. The famous historic cafés (Caffè San Carlo, Caffè Torino) have legitimate high prices, but some nearby establishments inflate bills with undisclosed cover charges, service charges, and items not ordered.
