Good morning all,

By way of a quick introduction I work for the Football Supporters' Federation in the UK (www.fsf.org.uk), who represent the interests of football supporters from all clubs across the country. As part of our work, we produce a guide to all cities that British clubs face in Europe, and that's what brings me here.

As you'll obviously already know, those lovely fans from Chelsea will be paying a visit to Turin in March in the Champions League, and the FSF will be producing their usual guide for all the travelling fans.

For an idea of the sort of thing we produce, check out our guide to CSKA Moscow (Aston Villa will be playing them in the UEFA Cup in February) - http://www.fsf.org.uk/ground-guide/international-clubs/cska-moscow/

I'm looking for a few people who may be helpful enough to provide some insider info on Turin and places to go/see/eat/sleep around the city. While we can always find some information on Google/Wikipedia we find that the best recommendations come from people who know the city, and that sort of insider information is what football fans want to hear about.

If there's anyone who thinks they could be of some help, please drop me a message through this site, or email me at [email protected]

Many thanks,

Garreth @ the FSF.

Here's my short list:

* If you've got the cash and love great food, Guido in Pollenzo, outside of Bra in the Slow Food complex/university, is sublime. I hear great things about Combal.zero in the Rivoli castle in suburban Rivoli as well, though that's entirely modernized Piemontese food. Both meals will be among the best of your life.

* For something a little less on the scary prices, AB+ is a great restaurant. So is Magorabin. Also, if you're into psycho-amazing food markets, Eataly by the Lingotto is like the Library of Congress applied to food.

* Get some gelato at GROM

* Check out the Mole Antonelliana. It's a tradition, and not a bad one. Same goes for the Piazza San Carlos. And walking via Roma.

* The coffee rocks at Caffè Mulassano

* Take a trip up to Superga on a clear day. Take the tram.

* La Venaria Reale is worth a trip unless you detest things like Versailles, except La Venaria has been converted into something of a modern museum inside. I hear great things about Stupingi but haven't been yet.

* Walk the old Quadrilatero district. Swing by the pedestrian-only via Garibaldi at passagiatta time.

* Check out Baratti & Milano and the gallery next door for lunch if you're a fan of the original (and better) Italian Job with Michael Caine.

* As for sleeping, I've stayed in a couple places. The one I liked most was formal, stuffy, pricey, centrally located, but very nice: the Golden Palace. Can't say much about the cheaper places to stay other than they are out there. Cheaper, more spacious, and out of the way I stayed once at the Residenza delle Alpi (and almost got clubbed by a visiting, drunken Laziale staying there) -- but that's better for proximity to the delle Alpi.
