We will be arriving at Turin's Porta Nuova station by train from Rome late next Saturday night (11:15-ish). Any advice on finding a taxi at that hour to take us to our hotel? Also, we are flying out the next morning ... any recommendations on a hotel near the airport that offers convenient shuttle service? Or do you recommend we stay near the train station and order a taxi to the airport for Sunday morning?

We are arriving at a slightly earlier hour and hotelier said a taxi should be no problem. It's a major city and it's a prime place to pick folks up. I'd feel pretty good about getting a cab there, especially with a train arriving.
