The best Fusion and international cuisine restaurants Italy

In a family but reserved atmosphere, a bit of a flea market, a bit of an art gallery, we sit down to pick up an Italo-Japanese menu. You can choose between a very good Sicilian cuisine, you know especially those famous crudo platters: tartars, carpaccios of raw fish, and delicious sushi. The quality is guaranteed by the freshness of the ingredients; as for the Japanese cuisine, it is the (Japanese) wife of the (Sicilian) householder who personally takes care of it. Original and good. The wines are rigorously from the island.

The restaurants of the actor and comedian Pietro Chiambretti and his company Food & Company almost never disappoint. Here is one which has an exceptional frame, under the Galleria Subalpina, in the corner with Piazza Castello. The original cuisine offers Piedmontese dishes as well as Japanese sushi. Excellent wine list with over 250 labels.

A festival of the senses, a culinary and human discovery: this is what Gigi, the young chef of Scinuà (pronounced "Chinese") offers you. At the entrance, a sign: "The greatest success in the kitchen is to fill your stomach with imagination": the tone is set! You could well enjoy the best meal of your trip here. Red carrots, ancient vegetables and other surprises are cooked with art and know-how. Vegetarian dishes, meats, desserts: everything is a delight. And for an extraordinary price-quality ratio. To discover absolutely!

This is the restaurant of the luxury boutique hotel of the same name. It offers refined Sicilian and international cuisine under the direction of chef Giovanni Santoro. Imagine a veal cut with a Sicilian cheese fondue and juniper berries from Etna, all smoked with pine needles, homemade spaghetti with braised hare, asparagus salad and black truffle, pan-fried beef with onions, mustard and orange honey... The wine list is extensive and offers a selection of exclusive Etna wines to discover.

The restaurant of the Ghedina lake is located in a fairy-tale place, which we advise you to reach on foot, through mountains and forests (see " Stroll > Ghedina lake). The main attraction of this place is the lakeside chalet, with its amazing blue-green colours in summer. A la carte, specialities of grilled meats (the most prestigious) on hot stone. On sunny days, a terrace also allows you to take a moment to relax and prolong your lunch and enjoy the magic of the panorama on the lake.

An address of great charm that contrasts with the other Venetian restaurants. The mistress of the place is Massome, an infinitely warm woman. She invites you to the table in a setting that instantly draws you in. From Morocco to Ethiopia, through Guinea and Ghana, the best culinary specialties of each country are on the menu. The restaurant serves meat and fish dishes revisited with creativity and enhanced by the finest of plate settings. There is no doubt about the pleasure of entertaining.

The restaurant was awarded a Michelin star by the famous chef Chris Oberhammer. Only five tables for 12 covers, nestled in the garden of the former Grand Hotel Dobbiaco. The family-inspired cuisine is as modern as the place itself. It relies on local products, flavors and colors of the region. The chef is always more inventive in the forms and combinations of flavors, each dish is a work of art and a delicious discovery. Reservation is required (a 50 € deposit will be asked to guarantee the coming).

Here's the latest offering from Fabio Picchi, a media-savvy chef who's been nurturing his gastronomic legend for over 40 years! With this small, sixteen-cover restaurant, he once again succeeds in making diners forget the classic Italian hors d'oeuvres. On the menu, an extrovert fusion cuisine that divinely juggles the best of Tuscan produce with spicy notes from the Far East. The Japanese-Korean duo at the helm of the kitchen take tradition on a brilliant journey.

After effort comes comfort, doesn't it? In summer, walk to the Tétras Lyre refuge, a converted former mountain pasture building. You'll enjoy an exceptional panorama, alone in the middle of the mountains, and a hearty plate of Valle d'Aosta specialities. Enjoy a polenta or risotto on the delightful terrace, intoxicated by the fragrance of the surrounding pine trees and carried away by the sound of the Savara torrent flowing below. The refuge also offers self-catering accommodation: double, family or dormitory rooms.

The San Brite makes "agri-cuisine" its credo. This restaurant embraces the philosophy of a family united by the desire to live and eat in harmony with nature. As devotees of "regenerative" cuisine (products that help regenerate the soil), the land that nourishes us is respected and cherished, without being abused. The ingredients, exclusively seasonal, are worked by Riccardo, the head chef, who calls our ecological conscience to the plate and splashes us with pleasure with his talent. An experience that seduces both soul and palate.

Elegant and refined, the restaurant at Palazzo Grassi has set the bar high. This luxury gastronomic haven has become a culinary rendezvous of choice for Venetians and visitors alike who wish to experience excellent dining in one of the city's iconic palaces. Menus are carefully crafted, in a mishmash of "fusion" cuisine and more traditional Italian fare. The duck confit ravioli with truffle and potimarron cream is worth its weight in gold. The service is excellent and the team highly professional.
