The tables scattered outside on a stone staircase offer a picturesque and romantic setting.

This restaurant-pizzeria is run by the friendly Martino Domenico, recognizable by his pirate scarf. You can eat there on the terrace facing the sea, on the port, the dream spot on holiday.

Da Giancarlo is Pula's institution. A mythical and very busy restaurant, where the service is busy trying to place everyone during the summer. Here the seats are expensive, not the food. In addition to the pizzas, which are among the best in the city, shellfish, pasta and Sardinian specialities are in the spotlight. The restaurant is large but manages to bring out fresh and tasty cuisine. The highlight of the show, other than the pleasure of the plate, is the lobster tank cleverly hidden in a boat stranded in the middle of the room.

La dolce vita à l'allemande! A concept that is little known in Italy. This is the challenge taken up by two German women, Claudia and Sabine, who dare to revisit Italian gastronomy in their own way (with typical products from across the Rhine). This small, unusual restaurant in the historic centre is full of treasures. The evening menu changes every day. However, we recommend the surprising Wurstel con crauti e patate. The floor sets the tone with its black and white patterns. Here and there, you can see pretty fabric hearts hanging up... A unique place with kitschycharm .

The dishes can be bought to go or enjoyed on the pretty terrace.

We dine on the terrace facing the sea, in the shade of a large ficus, rocked by the surf.

Prosciutto, fresh cheese (especially ricotta) are excellent, there are also soups for those who want a quick but hot lunch. The establishment offers a wide variety of local cheeses that you can accompany with one of the house wines. The reception is very pleasant

A very good surprise that this small restaurant located in a former palace and not far from the lively Piazza Ballarò.

In this trattoria, everything is homemade, especially the fresh pasta. A seasonal cuisine, where the fish is chosen on the port. The antipasti Fontana d'Ercole will give you a foretaste of the region. Among the specialties, we recommend the busiate (pasta) with walnut pesto, clams and shrimps; the cavatelli (ricotta ravioli) or desserts such as the famous cannolo or cassata. A popular address where it is best to book in advance.

The restaurant's dining room showcases local craftsmanship, while the pergola opens onto the garden. Although this is "just" a restaurant and not a farm, the products are carefully sourced. Everything you eat is homemade and comes from the traditional Sardinian repertoire: vegetable flan, panadas, tomato culurgionis... Three types of menu are available, depending on the season. Generous plates and a warm atmosphere. During the summer season, the agriturismo organizes nature excursions led by a local guide to raise awareness of the area.

Delicious little bistro in a side street off via del Babuino where an air of early twentieth century French train station café linger. So don't expect an authentic Italian trattoria .

Pizzeria (with a huge choice of pizzas bianche and rosse, as well as Roman and Neapolitan), San Marco also concocts the classics of Roman and Italian cuisine with respect to the product. On the terrace or in the pleasant dining room (perfect if you are a small group). It's not the most authentic place in Rome, the menu is so vast that you can get lost, but you can eat well and it's a restaurant to recommend in the center. Another address in Rome, in the Prati district, via Tacito 29.

This is a restaurant that cannot be indifferent. Situated in the historic centre of the city, a special charm comes from this room: we are leaving the beaten track. Its special decoration evokes the time spent… that precisely of the Guasconi. The atmosphere is warm and friendly. A rustic stamp similar to the image of ancient taverns is given by furniture exclusively in solid wood, the authenticity of its objects, the exposed beams and the period walls.
