OSTERIA DEI SOGNATORI
Read moreStepping into this little bistro, frequented by quite a few locals, you'll feel like you've stepped back in time and are a character in a Cesare Pavese novel set in pre-war Piedmont. Seasonal products for a typical Langhe cuisine, the choice is not very vast but everything is fresh and homemade, and really delicious. Attentive, friendly staff. Good choice of wines. Please note, however, that the osteria is a bit of a victim of its own success: there may be a wait for dinner, so be warned, or reserve a table in advance!
VECCHIA VARENNA
Read moreThis restaurant is located in a th century house with a magnificent panoramic terrace. The kitchen is typical of the lake with fish dishes. An excellent restaurant.
IL GUSCIO
Read moreAn often high sound volume, a place steeped in history, a family and refined cuisine when necessary, Il Guscio logically receives the jury's congratulations! The menu offers very good culinary experiments, particularly in terms of fish, such as the creamy palamita con robiola e aneto (bonito carpaccio on a bed of whole cow's milk fresh cheese, Lombardy speciality, sprinkled with dill). This small, popular but sophisticated canteen is undoubtedly one of the best addresses in its category. Reservation recommended.
LA SCALETTA - SPAGHETTERIA E PIZZERIA
Read moreFish and seafood are the mainstay here: gnocchi with clams, octopus in sauce, spaghetti allo scoglio, octopus salad... But those who prefer good wood-fired pizzas will not be outdone. The service is prompt, friendly and attentive, and the wine list is excellent. This establishment is a great success, it is better to arrive early or to reserve a place on the terrace.
PAUSA PRANZO
Read moreSale of oak, ice and fresh drinks for small voids at low prices.
RISTORANTE CROCIFISSO
Read moreThis trattoria offers a real Sicilian market cuisine, but revisited according to a contemporary culinary aesthetic, very imaginative both in textures and flavours. The setting is very elegant and the prices are high. The tasting menu is a nice discovery, especially the red prawns with ricotta and lemon. The octopus in spinach sauce on a mashed potato with capers is topped with a cuttlefish ink chip. For dessert, Modica's chocolate éclair with smoked salt, cinnamon, or cocoa bean cake, cream of rum.
PIZZA ECONOMICA
Read moreA pizzeria still very busy. It is because of the provocation. But dishes (salads or pizzas), as cheap as they are, are always well prepared.
BAFFONE
Read moreThis trattoria offers simple, but good dishes, like the penne all'arabiata, but the real speciality of the house is cooked meat at the grill (you have to remove a number at the entrance and, when your turn comes, we call you).
LA BOTTEGA DEL VINO DI ANACLETO BLEVE
Read moreIn the historic centre, an ideal address for a lunch stop: antipasti, small vegetables, delicious homemade cheeses and cakes accompanied by a good coffee.
TAVERNETTA
Read moreThis pleasant and well-kept tavernetta offers good soups, a wide variety of pasta (all shapes and colours) and grilled fish.
LE RUGANTINO
Read moreVery good atmosphere. The price is correct.
IL MATRICIANO
Read moreThis historic trattoria located in the Prati area and managed by the Colasanti family for four generations is frequented by Roman celebrities as well as tourists. The kitchen clearly claims its Roman origins: high quality traditional dishes in generous portions, including excellent bucatini alla mriciana, now legendary. Everything is always very good, but the final invoice is not given.
PIZZERIA CANDIDO
Read moreThis family-run pizzeria is a good place to taste an excellent Roman pizza with crisp dough.
SATOLLO
Read moreA few steps from the Santa Maria Liberatrice Church and close to the Tiber River, this new, discreet restaurant offers a cuisine that revisits tradition with creativity. Elegant and refined, this is the place to meet for a nice evening in friends or romantic romantic dinner, with an excellent culinary experience. The kitchen offers a creative menu based on the products sought. Among the specialties not to be missed: the Tarte and Robiola delle Langhe pie with a cauliflower cream, the breaded lamb square and its meat boulettes on mustard sauce, and to finish gently a black chocolate clementine foam.
RISTORANTE LUNA PIENA
Read moreThe highly friendly and unpretentious place is decorated with paintings from unknown artists. We eat, in no way, sitting on chairs in straw. The dishes are classical and of good quality (i piatti brutti my buoni): artichokes cream, chicory cream, bucatini all homemade faits and gnocchi. As for dessert, the house's speciality is perfect for crystallized orange and red fruits.
DAR MOSCHINO
Read moreThis small, cosy restaurant in the centre of the district owes its name to the owner, it signor Franco, known from early childhood for its character under the name Dar Moschino. The atmosphere is that of a neighbourhood bistro, and it offers good, well-cooked Roman dishes (like the Roman chicken and the guts). Excellent value for money.
CUCINA ABRUZZESE
Read morePimpante and welcoming house near the Vatican Museum, this restaurant offers, as its name suggests, specialities from Abruzzo, including grilled lamb. The restaurant is tiny, and it is practically impossible to lunch in the winter for lack of space.
VINI DA ARTURO
Read moreA few steps from Campo Sant'Angelo, a handful of tables, a cozy setting and the same menu for twenty years. A family cuisine that honors pasta, meats and grilled vegetables. We'll choose the ultra-rare beef filet, the spaghetti with clams, perfectly al dente , and the eggplant in saor (fried with onions), decidedly very vinegary. And for dessert, panna cotta or tiramisù, without going too far. An address that counts many regulars among its clientele. Only regret, the prices, a little too salty!
BACARO DA FIORE
Read moreBetween Palazzo Grassi and St. Mark's Square, a nice little place between a bistro and a wine bar, which clearly stands out among the mediocre restaurants in the area. We appreciate the counter covered with ciccheti and we can't resist the fried food and the nervetti alle cipolle (small veal nerves with onions). Spritz and white wine to accompany, it goes without saying.
SCRIGNO DEL DUOMO
Read moreSet in a historic residence in Piazza Duomo, what a setting! This gastronomic restaurant and wine bistro has converted its old cellar into a wine bar, while on the ground floor and terrace is the restaurant. Regional specialities revisited with elegance and lightness. The wine bar character of the place invites you to combine wine with food. For those who like to pick up a lot of little things, theaperitivo is particularly good. Ask for advice, as the wine list has almost 450 wine references!
OSTERIA IL CAPPELLO
Read moreLocated in a former warehouse on a small square in the city centre, this friendly neighbourhood bistro offers tasty regional cuisine and a touch of the good old-fashioned style (excellent antipasti in particular). You can sit in one of the three tastefully decorated rooms, two of which are made of stone with vaulted ceilings, and in one of them you can see the cooks at work in their kitchen. Nice summer terrace for lunch under parasols. An address appreciated by the locals, which we can only recommend.
PICCOLA ISCHIA
Read moreIn the purest Neapolitan tradition! The atmosphere is very lively around the large wooden fire, where an army of pizzaioli hastens to manufacture and cook the pizza you chose on a very long list.
PIZZERIA IL DISCOVOLO
Read moreThis small caterer sells a little of everything from arancinis to pizzas, focacce and flour. The prices are a little expensive, but the place remains convenient enough to buy a pizza to go (or a cold beer) before leaving to see the sunset in front of the sea.
ANTICO GIARDINETTO
Read moreFar from the beaten track, here is an address as we like them, discreet and picturesque at the same time. From the terrace to the interior room, everything is meticulously small and terribly pretty. So small that the chef Virgilio only proposes in his menu the arrivals of the market, for lack of having the place for too important reserves in his kitchen. His wife Larisa will serve you, depending on the ingredients of the day, a golden fritto misto overflowing from her dish, a delicious seafood risotto or scallops with asparagus.
L'ANCORA
Read moreIt doesn't take long to realize that L'Ancora is a fishmonger like no other. Firstly, because its decor is at the cutting edge of design, with its polished steel counter, bulbous floor lamps and immaculate white walls and tables sculpted with contemporary reliefs. Secondly, because here you don't just buy or order a fish dish, you taste real raw or cooked creations on the spot. It's good, it's fresh, it's artistically presented and, of course, it's expensive.
CRISTINA PERINO
Read moreA welcome alternative to the eternal midday panino, Cristina Perino's bistro-drugstore has been attracting new customers since it opened in 2010. In this small, pastel-toned shop, crates of fruit and vegetables are stacked to one side, without taking away from the stools and nooks where you can sit down. Enjoy home-cooked dishes such as lasagne au pistou, roast pork with sautéed potatoes, asparagus risotto, and why not try a slice of fruit tart? Price by weight.

L'OCA CIUCA
Read moreLocated in the heart of Vigevano, on the first floor of an old palace, this contemporary bistro has turned the page on the past to offer trendy, designer cuisine and surroundings. A fine selection of bottles behind the counter, the menu features traditional Lombardy recipes creatively revisited, with goose(oca) taking pride of place. Other specialties include risotto, duck with orange sauce and a delicious sbrisolona tart. A welcoming and convivial atmosphere, which in season takes up residence on the beautiful terrace.
OSTERIA DONNA TERESA
Read moreLocated in the Vomero, Osteria is a small family-run restaurant founded in 1913. It offers seven to eight tables and well-executed Neapolitan cuisine, including grilled sardines and meatballs in tomato sauce. Special mention for the bread, supplied by the same baker for 40 years. Dishes here change regularly, so there's no set menu. On the other hand, be prepared to eat well, because here the protocol of the Italian meal is followed to the letter, i.e. primo, secondo and dessert. You'll feel right at home, ideal for lunch.
ANTICA TRATTORIA
Read moreAt the entrance to Robecco, here's an address that for years has been very happy with the appetites of big and small. The specialities of Milanese cuisine are served in a very "Sunday meal" atmosphere. Start with a plate of affettati (local mixed charcuterie), to continue with fresh homemade pasta for asparagus, mushrooms, cheese and truffle. If you prefer meat, you will never be disappointed by the classics, including the Milanese porkchops, served with its small diced tomatoes.
ALBERGO RISTORANTE BOLOGNA
Read moreAlways crowded, the Bologna has long attracted a local clientele that goes there for traditional Bolognese dishes in a beautiful setting. It's not a local restaurant, but the ingredients are tasty, the portions are plentiful and it's one of the only places in the center of Varese where you can eat well and for a reasonable price. As far as accommodation is concerned, it is a little more impersonal. However, the hotel's rooms can be used for one or two nights.
ANTICA LOCANDA IL BISSONE
Read moreHere's a downtown trattoria with plenty of character. In the brick-arched dining room, tables with quaint checkered tablecloths, a grand piano, violins everywhere and a large portrait of Giuseppe Verdi. And after the tribute to music, it's the local culinary tradition that's celebrated: polenta with boletus mushrooms, Cremona cured meats, bollito and its mostarda and, to finish, a fine selection of cakes.
LA PARRANDA
Read moreMexican cuisine and decor, with dance and music shows.
DA ARISTIDE
Read moreAn institution in Manarola, its location makes it a welcome spot for tourists arriving from the underground tunnel leading to the station. On the first floor is a welcoming bar, but it's upstairs where the action is. Exquisite and abundant, the cuisine exalts all the flavors of Cinque Terre: marinated anchovies as a starter, followed by grilled fish spiced up with the local petit blanc, or pasta with pesto and other flavors. The chef? A lovely little lady who knows how to handle home-grown produce. Bonus: the summer terrace.
CROCE BIANCA
Read moreThis superb restaurant is run by the Ramella family, who have been in the business since 1946. It offers local specialties prepared and served with great care. It's a great opportunity to taste genuine Piedmontese cuisine. The setting is truly magnificent, and the tables stand out with their pretty crockery and silverware... You'll find all the charm of restaurants that focus on demanding, old-fashioned service, and such attention to detail at affordable prices has become so rare that you'll want to savor the moment.
CAFFE CONCERTO
Read moreLocated in Piazza Grande in the heart of the historic centre, this sign is frequented at all hours of the day. The large lunch buffet attracts people for the quality and variety of its dishes; ideal for tasting some local specialities (cold cuts, tortelloni, pizzas, desserts, etc.). At aperitivo time, you sip your drink accompanied by good things to nibble on the large terrace facing the cathedral's chevet. Sunday brunch is gargantuan. A sure value, to satisfy all desires at any time.
IL GROTTINO
Read moreWe liked this good value restaurant. It serves fresh, freshly prepared food in a sunny setting. The bright yellow painted walls and the white mouldings show the effort of the owners to welcome their customers in a pleasant room. On the menu, fresh fish, antipasti, pasta and above all delicious pizzas which are a delight for the locals. The restaurant is authentic and the very welcoming staff gives it all its charm. Here, tourists and locals mix. Remember to book, it is often full!
LA LUCCIOLA
Read moreA good option for quick and cheap meals.
MAGORABIN
Read moreHats off to Marcello Trentini! This young chef is the first Turinese to have been awarded the Jeunes Restaurateurs d'Europe, a recognition followed by the award of a Michelin star. And for good reason: his restaurant in the Courtyard of San Maurizio has become one of the city's must-see gastronomic stops. Warm rabbit salad with hazelnuts, steak tartare with oysters, bouillabaisse, duck à la Marengo... If the portions of these delicious dishes are rather small, the prices are still far from the unaffordable prices of the starred tables. To be tried without delay.
TRATTORIA PAOLINO
Read moreThis authentic brasserie, in the beautiful central square of the old town, is decorated in a warm and welcoming style: you'd almost think you were in your own kitchen! Everything is homemade, from the bread to the desserts, and the wine list is presented on an old-fashioned slate. A fine cuisine of Piedmontese specialties, with truffles in every sauce in season, but everything is delicious whatever you choose... Perfect welcome, very attentive service, unquestionably one of the best addresses in Vercelli!
DUE CUORI
Read moreA fine family-run restaurant created by a brother and his two sisters, offering fine local Biel cuisine with a twist. It is affiliated with the Slow Food movement, which favors short circuits. The zucchini flowers served with a parmesan crème brûlée are well worth the detour! The meat is very well cooked. Good wines too. At the back of the restaurant, you can admire the old ovens covered with 18th-century earthenware tiles. Trendy, uncluttered decor, meticulous presentation and service, and a terrace under the arcades when the weather's mild.
LE QUATTRO STAGIONI D'ITALIA
Read moreA friendly restaurant-pizzeria in the town center. Its strong point is certainly the beauty of its large 17th-century brick vaults inside, but in season, the terrace is also very pleasant! The pizza menu is certainly well-stocked and appetizing, but it would be a shame not to try one of the meat dishes or the primi ( risottis , for example), typical of the region, which are well worth a taste. Extraordinary wine list.
OSTERIA ALLA BIFORA
Read moreThis osteria on Campo Santa Margherita has the warm atmosphere of an old-fashioned tavern. In a large room that looks like a canteen, you eat on large common wooden tables lit by the subdued light of Murano chandeliers. A nice mix of styles. But what makes this address unusual are its taglieri, large wooden boards in XL format covered with cold cuts and cheese. Moreover, the whole team is dynamic and welcoming, even speaking French and always trying to please the guests.
ANGELINA
Read moreIn addition to her two addresses in Testaccio and Ostiense, Angelina is also located in Trevi. The famous fountain is only a few blocks away, the romantic and vintage decor reminds us of a winter garden with watering cans and flower pots on the walls. The menu is a little bit ordinary, with the exception of the Angelina antipasto: a three-tiered display case filled with deli meats, cheese, fried foods and gratinated eggplants (melanzane alla parmigiana). Just with that, we're satisfied! Good to know, the door next door welcomes Café Angelina, famous for its cornetti
ANTICA TRATTORIA MARTELLA
Read moreThe reputation of this trattoria, the oldest in Avellino, is well established. Behind a discreet front, in a large room with a sober decoration, you will be offered a traditional and tasty cuisine with the best local products. Antipasti in the form of buffet and tagliatelle with Irpinia summer truffle very generously served. The wine list of the region is very good; even the house wine, an Aglianico, is to be recommended.
MEGARON
Read moreAt the head of this gastronomic establishment is Valentina Martone, known in Italy for her participation in various cooking shows on RAI. Here, all the richness of the Irpinia region is used to create a refined and inventive cuisine. The products are those of the restaurant's garden, the olive oil and flour are produced by the Martone family. All this is sublimated in traditional recipes revisited. The welcome given by Valentina's husband is charming. As for the wine, it remains at very reasonable prices.
