The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Southwest

This Italian restaurant has Vlora's most popular terrace, whether for dinner or a drink. The à la carte menu includes pizzas, antipasti, pasta and fried dishes. Located on a ledge just above the tunnel to Radhima and next to the Albanian state residence, it boasts a magnificent view over the bay. The hotel also boasts seven comfortable, well-equipped rooms facing the sea. The only problem is that it can be noisy at night.

This restaurant-pizzeria is a landmark in the country's history, since it was in this beautiful stone-vaulted house that the "Gjirokastra Assembly" was held on July 23, 1880, which saw Albania's nationalists lend their support to the insurgents of the Prizren League in Kosovo. On the plate, you'll find homemade pizzas from the wood-fired oven. The owners are warm and welcoming, the service attentive and the location pleasant, at the entrance to the old bazaar. Recommended, even just for a coffee.
