Turin RestaurantsAu Lapin Agile 1/BIS, Via Ghemme
The Au Lapin Agile is situated near the Monte Grappa station on the subway/underground. It is especially good for seafood but it has the kind of menu that has something for everyone. The prices are very reasonable and there is always a great atmosphere. The owner Filippo, with his huge moustache, is an institution in his own right. My recommendation here is to start with the antipasto di pesce caldo followed by my number one starter; the seafood soup (zuppa ai frutti di mare). My wife’s favourite is the tagliolini agli asparagi. Next best is the tagliolini with mushrooms (funghi porcini). For a main course try the mixed grill (misto griglia) –a great piedmont tradition. Dessert is a no brainer – you must try the Piedmont classic – the Bonet. If for some inexplicable reason you don’t go with the Bonet then next best is the panna cotta. Filippo also has a great wine list with most of the great Piedmont wines and a vast selection of wines from the other regions of Italy, mostly Tuscany and Veneto. All in all this is a very friendly, laid-back restaurant which makes one feel at home and totally relaxed. Their food is good and their prices are very reasonable.
