Pastificio De Filippis

Pastificio De Filippis is a fresh pasta maker and restaurant at Via Giuseppe Luigi Lagrange 39 in the centre of Turin, in Italy's Piedmont region. The pasta shop opened in 1872, which makes it one of the long-running food businesses of the city, and it combines a retail counter selling fresh pasta to take away with a dine-in restaurant serving the same pasta on site. The cuisine is fresh pasta in the Piedmontese tradition, so the menu is organised around seasonal filled and cut pastas, with the regional egg-based doughs of the area, such as tajarin and agnolotti, as the natural reference points. Fresh seasonal pasta is the signature offer, and bonet, the chocolate and amaretti pudding of Piedmont, is listed as a dessert. Menu prices have not been verified, but the venue sits in the moderate ($$) range. The setting is casual and tied to the working shop, with a traditional character, lively noise at lunch and dinner, and no dress code. Wine details are not confirmed, but regional Piedmontese wines are the usual accompaniment. According to a third-party guide, the restaurant is open daily from 12:30PM to 3:00PM and from 7:30PM to 10:30PM, with Sunday dinner closing at 10:00PM. The pasta shop keeps separate hours: Tuesday to Friday 10:00AM to 2:00PM and 4:30PM to 7:30PM, Saturday 10:00AM to 7:30PM and Sunday 10:00AM to 2:30PM, and it is reported closed in July and August, so visitors should confirm by phone on +39 011 542137. Reservations are available by phone and are sensible for dinner and weekends, a day or two ahead usually being enough. Fresh pasta bought at the counter makes a practical souvenir or self-catering option for travellers with kitchen access, and the website pastificiodefilippis.it provides further information.
