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.
Oh wow, Turi is Sicilian heaven in the heart of Adelaide. Tucked just off Grenfell the location was chosen as the piazza and fountain made the owners think of Italy (swoon). The cannoli is freshly piped on order and the arancini and meatballs are made with classic Scicilian flavours including Middle Eastern influences. The ambiance is very well done and the staff make you feel SO welcome. Grab a quick lunch or enjoy an afterwork drink and settle in. Friday nights include a very enticing happy hour, who's up for a Prosecco?
Absolutely love this place and the friendly wonderful staff!
I get my morning coffee here almost everyday and its perfect every single time!
I wouldn't go anywhere else :)
This place is gorgeous & tucked away in the lovely Grenfell Plaza.
I absolutely got suckered in by the A-Frame on Grenfell street that blared, HOT NUTELLA CHOCOLATE.
Well, say. no. more.
I was in there in a flash, where I was greeted by a lovely barista who made me the Nutella Hot Chocolate whilst I was contemplating if I had died and gone to some kind of nutella filled heaven.
We chatted for a bit and she told me about their Friday night dinners, bar meals & famous ricotta cannolis. HOLD THE PHONE. Cannolis? I'll have ten.
She actually piped the cannoli in front of me to ensure the pastry didn't get soggy and it was truly divine. I ended up buying a heap for people at work and I was hailed as the best employee and I won all the things.
I think this place is great & I can't wait to explore it a bit more.
Impeccable Food, Friendly Service, Great Prices. I work in the Adelaide CBD and frequently bring friends, colleagues and clients to Turi Bar E Caffe for lunch, coffee or a drink on a Friday evening. The staff must be treated very well by the owner as they are always happy, friendly and welcoming.
The food served at Turi has a distinct Sicilian touch and it often feels that you are dining in the home of a Sicilian. The $9.90 lunch specials must be the best value in town! I would be happy eating here every day of the year.
I recommend Turi for any occasion.
Tutto Bene. I recently took some relatives Italy/Canada to this City nook and was totally happy with the fast efficient service, It was a busy lunch and the feeling about the place was good almost buzzing. The food offering matched its Sicilian roots and it was great...simple flavorsome and for me great value for money...Turi's spin on Sicily's own "Lemoncino" and Canoli is awesome....thanks hope to pop in again soon.
May I have some more. Turi is one of Adelaide's little treasures, with stand out staff who have obviously received training on their service and product knowledge. Simply put we were really impressed by Turi, it's a must try and one of those places that could easily turn into your regular, with a difference.
A little dash of Sicily. What a fresh little spot, great bar, great food, get to it, lots of authentic dishes with a fresh contemporary look, great value also.
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".
