Dropped into Turi for lunch. Concise menu with something for everyone. The menu was well explained and it was pasta all round at the table. Everyone enjoyed their meals. My pasta and sauce was delicious. Three good sized meatballs in a delicious sauce.
Dropped in here based on reviews. Had omelette and coffee for breakfast which were both crafted with speed and perfection. I can see why this place is so popular they have all the ingredients down pat of a great cafe !
The next Zomato Meet Up was held at Turi Bar E Caffe at 3/25 Grenfell St, Adelaide. This Sicilian delight was on our "must visit list" after having spent a week in Sicily last year. Tucked away underneath the Grenfell St Plaza precinct, it is an inviting and welcoming bar/caffe. On this occasion we were served a small selection of the great finger food on offer. The menu consisted of Panelle, Cocktail Arancini, Meatballs and Olives and for dessert the Mini Cannolis.To get us started we were offered a Sicilian Limoncello and/or an Aperol Spritz along with the first plate of food that consisted of olives, fresh bread, caper berries, cheese and sopressa (salami) to snack on. The green olives were very tasty and so was the sopressa. The Fotina cheese was a hard cheese but had a lovely smooth texture.

We came to Turi's for a Friday work team lunch after getting knocked back from Borsa, as we hadn't booked and there was eight of us. We sat were sat straight away at the last available table, which just so happened to seat exactly eight...score!
The decor is relaxed warehouse modern with chalkboard walls everywhere, which were very colourful. The menu is traditional Sicilian, do expect pasta, fish, meats etc, however it is distinct from most Italian restaurants. We started with sharing a big bowl of homemade panelle, which is a deep fried savoury fritter that bordered on a pastry/doughnut flavour, but was served dusted with salt alongside a mayonnaise type dipping sauce.
For main, I went for the Pasta Sarde which was oversized spaghetti with mashed sardines and an olive oil and breadcrumb crusting. Whilst we were told by our friendly waiter that traditionally this dish didn't need Parmesan, I thought it needed the lifting bite of the cheese as it was somewhat bland without.
We finished with mini ricotta cannoli's which were ok but not the greatest.
Seated quickly, service was attentive, food came out promptly and wasn't overly expensive. I'll be back!
Went to Turi for the first time today and had a quick but really enjoyable lunch. Tried the eggplant pasta, the meatballs with a side salad and the Panelle. All of the dishes were delicious and nicely cooked. Topped it off with a well brewed macchiato and a gorgeous cannoli. It's hard to get to if you don't work in the city I guess but it's worth it if you can.

Had a really delicious meal at Turi.
Nice fresh and light Sicilian food.
The pannele is what they have instead of chips. Delicious deep fried with chickpea flour and fresh lemon was great.
The meatballs were so nice and light. A great location and a great place to go on a Friday after work or for a function.
I was told by a friend to try this place out.. as soon as I walked in I was welcomed by the owner Salvatore. He's a great bloke!! On my friends recommendation I tried the freshly piped cannoli.. #wow #yum #(swoon).. I washed down the cannoli with a peppermint tea (just the right temp).. I'll be coming back!!
Hands down the best cannolis I have ever had. Smooth creamy ricotta filling with flecks of chocolate which is piped fresh to order into a perfectly crispy shell. The ends are then dipped into chocolate shavings and dusted with icing sugar. The staff are exceptionally friendly. Can't wait to try their much touted Nutella hot chocolate and tapas selection.
Like most eateries in Adelaide, I first visited Turi when they opened nearly 18 months ago. The experience that I had was quite a good one so I was looking forward to paying them another visit. Adelaide Food Central, along with other fellow bloggers, were invited to sample some of their tapas style dishes. All food and drink were provided free of charge.
Don't know much about Sicilian cuisine (or how different it is from Italian) but I like this one that's run by a husband-and-wife team. The pasta is very delicious (I had the meatball one) and the drinks selection are nice too. Prices are reasonable. And sometimes, they have live shows too. So well worth dropping by if you're in the CBD.
Long fan of Turi's. Whether its breakfast, lunch or Friday drinks, you're in good hands.
Swing by on a Friday afternoon. Happy hour runs between 3 and 7 PM. Castello cans for $5 and $10 for cocktails. Great crowd, fun atmosphere. You'll have a great time.
Really lovely, atmospheric place, and not too expensive. Freshly piped cannoli abound!
$5 for Peroni Reds in happy hour, you can't get these beers anywhere, bargain!! #BeatTheGrind
We had a breakfast and was amazing, delicious!I drunk the best capuccino since I left Italy!
Now I understand why Clemenza in The Godfather said "leave the gun, take the cannoli".
