Il Mago di Oz Turin
Funny cocktails for every season
"Mago di Oz" is wonderful in every season. That's a fact.
The menu is constantly revised and changed. They have at least 10 original cocktails to choose from.
They're really creative and good-looking. In the photo you have an "England Sleep" - gin-based and with some infused chamomile. That one was so well made! Gentle and delicate. For a good night!
I had to order a non-alcoholic one and I chose a "Wizard's ACE" with orange, lemon, a lot of carrot and elderflower syrup. Delicious!
A special mention for "Uncle Henry", a Negroni variation (Bourbon instead of Gin).Â
They also offer classic cocktails, soft drinks and premium gin tonics (you can choose your gin and your tonic water from a list).
I really recommend this place because the position is central but not overcrowded and they have a big dehors during the warm seasons.
They don't accept reservations on Friday and Saturday night.
Their drinks are great both in terms of quality of liqueurs and visual appearance.Â
As a plus they have a big traffic light on the inside. If the green light is lit you can order two identical cocktails and pay only for one.
Cheeeeers!
