For us Turinese, the concept of aperitivo is associated with food rather than being just a pre-meal drink. A long tradition dating back over 200 years.
Plenty of choice and different styles - vintage, classic, modern, w/ music or not, indoors or alfresco. Peek inside venues starting around 7 PM to evaluate the type of environment and, if unfamiliar, to understand whether it's a sit-and-be-served mode or rather a buffet-style place where you first buy a drink at the bar then choose a place to sit before heading to the all-you-can-eat buffet. In this case, make sure to avoid leaving unattended valuables at the table. Theft is rare but wisdom is always advisable.
Clusters of aperitivo bars are easily found in the Quadrilatero area (look in Piazza Emanuele Filiberto and Via Sant'Agostino) and Piazza Vittorio Veneto, which are the main nightlife areas in town and burst with life until morning hours.
One of my favorites is Lobelix located in Piazza Savoia 4.
