Apericena sits between aperitivo and dinner: a drink comes with enough food to extend the conversation and sometimes replace a main course. In Turin’s Quadrilatero Romano, INSIDE Torino and Shore Cocktail Bar both advertise a buffet, but present their offers differently. INSIDE lists an unlimited buffet and one drink for €19; Shore focuses on apericena, signature cocktails and group events. The choice depends on whether you want a clearly stated starting price or an evening centred on cocktails and atmosphere.
At INSIDE, some premium cocktails or products may add €2 or €4; a separate €24 table-service option is available by reservation. Shore describes an apericena with creative finger food and hot and cold dishes, but does not list a standard price for the offer. To compare them accurately, ask for the per-person cost, which drink is included and any booking conditions. That lets you weigh INSIDE’s published offer against the food-and-cocktail experience Shore advertises without estimating the bill from the price of a single drink.
Comments displayed alongside Shore’s website often praise the friendly service, bartenders’ skill, cocktails and generous buffet; other visitors have found the selection repetitive or their experience inconsistent between visits. At INSIDE, comments often focus on the range and atmosphere, while some mention cold dishes or unclear supplements. Reviews cannot guarantee what your evening will be like, but they suggest useful questions: how varied the food is, how often it is replenished, what the included drink covers and whether there are extra charges.
Both venues are in central Turin, on streets in the Quadrilatero Romano that are easy to explore on foot. INSIDE is at Via Sant’Agostino 17/F and Shore at Piazza Emanuele Filiberto 10; from either one, you can continue the evening at nearby bars. Both websites accept bookings. INSIDE makes the starting cost easier to plan, while Shore may suit you better if cocktails and a group atmosphere matter most; ask for the full cost before confirming. If you expect to stay late, plan your return to your accommodation.
