In the city's well-heeled Bogenhausen area, Hippocampus is no run-of-the-mill Italian restaurant; it is a ristorante with real character. The reins of this family business have now been passed on to the next generation, which is upholding the tradition of serving Italian cuisine. Order à la carte dishes or opt for the surprise menu. A two-course set lunch is available Wed-Fri. The impressive wine list features around 160 Italian labels. Expect attentive service, delivered with Italian charm. Add to this an attractive interior with stylish details such as half-wall panelling in walnut wood, marble floors and Art Nouveau lamps. The terrace is equally inviting.
