The best restaurants Italy

A little corner of Rome in the heart of Milan. This restaurant has already won over a loyal following of diners who can't get enough of its informal, dolce vita trattoria atmosphere. Two courses in the evening, under the supervision of the owner who arrived in Milan with the ambition of promoting Roman cuisine, in two small, discreetly lit rooms where every evening, recipes from the capital put on a show: bucatini all'amatriciana, spaghetti cacio e pepe, baked abbacchio, saltimbocca à la romaine, artichokes à la juive and many more...

This brewery takes its name from the pesa, an old measuring system for goods, placed in front of the entrance. Three wooded rooms, where you can breathe the scent of Milan of yesteryear, welcome you to the same place where Ho Chi Minh was said to have liked to come and eat. The kitchen offers a Milanese meal according to the rules of the art: saffron risotto, breaded chop and nervetti salad (small veal nerves) that will leave you with excellent memories. In season mushroom recipes.

La fiaschetteri, in via della Croce, halfway between piazza di Spagna and via del Corso, is a rather cramped bistro with photos on the walls that you hardly notice. And yet, in this neighborhood, it's well worth a visit. Few dishes are served here (which is often a sign of quality), and mainly great Roman classics, including buccatini all'amatriciana, straccetti alla rucola and saltimbocca. The meal ends with a tiramisù. All to be enjoyed on a charming terrace.

Just a stone's throw from the Circo Massimo, Rosso's is the place to enjoy breakfast, lunch, aperitifs, dinner and cocktails in the evening! A place well known to Romans. The vintage decor blends harmoniously with the space. A variety of fritti and cold meats are available for aperitifs. At dinnertime, sandwiches, hamburgers and salads are on offer, as well as international and Roman classics and, of course, the famous homemade pizza.

One might hesitate to enter this restaurant because of its decidedly touristy location, just across from the Forum and a stone's throw from the Colosseum. Yet Angelino ai Fori dal 1947 is a convenient address for lunch after a long tour of ancient Rome. The dishes are tasty and the prices fair for the area. On the menu are Roman specialties (the menu has been the same since 1947!) such as the famous carbonara and pizzas to enjoy on the terrace.

In the small artists' square, Piazza Savoia, in the shade of the trees, the terrace of this restaurant and literary café has been set up. Far from the hustle and bustle of the terraces of the surrounding alleys, it radiates a certain romantic charm. The couple of restaurateurs work around good home-made dishes and desserts. The place is a pleasant and cheap spot for lunch and a romantic haven of peace in the evening. Also inside there is a beautiful atmosphere and an arty decoration. A recommendation for about ten euros: the Trofiette a la Manàmanà.

Bithia is a chic restaurant nestled in an enchanting setting. Away from the road and the hustle and bustle of the beaches, the beautiful round room and its large veranda look out onto a spotless garden framed by hills. In addition to a typical Sardinian menu combining products from the land and the sea, the restaurant also offers pizzas. The limited selection of products is fresh and of high quality. The pizzas are available in "red" or "white" versions, with or without tomato sauce. Don't forget to book if you want to enjoy a table on the terrace.

"The real Alfredo fettuccine" can be read on the menu. And Alfredo proudly displays himself with the gold cutlery offered by the couple Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, who fell in love with the recipe. But isn't Alfredo's restaurant located in the historic centre, via della Scrofa? Well, after Alfredo Di Lelio sold his restaurant, he set the table again and opened a new establishment that was also visited by Hollywood stars. As for knowing which are the best fettuccines in Rome, we let you judge...

The best of Barbagia's gastronomic tradition can be found in this fabulous restaurant. Here, the women cook like in the past and bake bread on a wood fire. You must try the very copious and succulent buffet of Sardinian antipasti , the ricotta ravioli or the local cheese(sa casizolu). Every evening, the suckling pig is roasted on the spit in the large fireplace. The meal ends with the traditional seadas covered with honey. The prices remain reasonable. An obligatory stopover when visiting the region.

Good value for money for this osteria located in a posh neighbourhood. It offers dishes typical of Roman and Mediterranean cuisine (pasta, soups and fish-based secondias).

Warm family atmosphere. The desserts are homemade, we will be tempted by a tiramisù or a ginger and cinnamon ice cream.

A restaurant for Roman youth that fully contributes to the dynamism of the chic Ponte Milvio district. From the outside it looks like a beach boui-boui somewhere in the tropics: recycled objects, bright but damaged colours, wooden shutters all contribute to the relaxed atmosphere that you come here to pick up. We eat in the good mood of burgers, pasta and very good melanzane (aubergines). For the big appetites, crumble is the most famous dessert in the establishment. A good and trendy feel good address.

Al Veluu is a family-run restaurant since 1974, offering a superb view of the lake. A little out of the way from the centre of Tremezzo, it is best to get there by car or taxi. Among the specialities not to be missed are the risotto with champagne and green pepper, the penne with tomatoes, spices, olives, pancetta... and to finish a sweet note with the homemade tiramisù and its fresh fruits. The restaurant has its own small organic garden nearby, to maximize the use of fresh, local and seasonal produce.

Located in Lenno's main square, close to the church of San Giovanni Battista, the trattoria Santo Stefano has a simple setting, but serves good food. In the kitchen, owner and chef Giovanni Sansone has been running the place for 10 years, offering an original, high-quality menu. On the menu: grilled fish from the lake or typical dishes such as cauliflower ravioli, which are a delight to savor. We particularly appreciate the terrace and the tables that are set up when the fine weather arrives.

It is better to book at noon for the evening.

This is the restaurant that the locals recommended to us. And for good reason, the prices are more than reasonable, a rare thing in La Maddalena. The food is quite good, and the whole thing is quite correct. Like many restaurants in the area, it has made a specialty of fish and seafood. The classic menu is as long as the arm and there is a large choice of pasta, pizzas, fried fish and shellfish, and grilled lobster... of course. The restaurant is located on the edge of the marina.

This Michelin-starred restaurant is located in the heart of bustling Trastevere. It plays a modern, chic card, with high ceilings and glass and wood decor in a contemporary industrial style.

A must.

Gabriele Bonci set up his bread and pizza oven in this little store tucked between a barbershop and a drugstore.

Yet it's here that you'll find some of the best - and certainly most famous - pizza al taglio in the Italian capital. Refined dough and choice ingredients are the hallmarks of Bonci's success.

A brasserie for dining in the heart of Rome, near the Trevi Fountain. Halfway between Paris's Le Grand Colbert and New York's Balthazar, Baccano at first seems very chaotic, with its ballet of waiters and non-stop service, yet you'll always find a quiet table where you'll be well served. Oysters and foie gras are reminiscent of France, burgers and sandwiches of the USA, while excellent pasta dishes and charcuterie evoke the dolce vita of Rome. A fine selection of wines.

Here is a charming little bistro where you will meet connoisseurs rather than tourists. We go down a few steps to reach the vaulted room; on the walls, copper pots and pans and photos of the lake at the beginning of the century. But the real soul of the Vicolo is indeed her: Lilli. When she's not at the stove, she turns between the tables to chat with the customers and ask if the fish is well grilled, or if the local wine is to your taste. Characteristic and friendly, an address from which one rarely leaves disappointed
