The best unusual restaurants Italy

Translation: La Cave du Roi Artichaut, where you can enjoy, on the terrace or in the dining room, in a very green setting, with climbing vines, olive trees and aromatic plants, hearty antipasti and hot dishes, platters of Norcia charcuterie, cheeses, pasta in sauces sautéed in large frying pans, all accompanied by homemade bread, served hot with cold-pressed virgin olive oil, and a fine selection of wines. A very convivial address.

The atmosphere here is very convivial, thanks to the music, but also to the fact that the tables are close together and the service is very friendly. The Mediterranean cuisine is delicious, based on fresh fish and local produce. On the menu, for example, a choice of salads, pastas - pesto, tomato and basil, Bolognese, ravioli... -meat tartars, fish, Milanese escalopes... Excellent choice of beers and wines. Everything here is good and affordable.

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 .

This restaurant enjoys the soothing calm of the countryside. In this haven of tranquility, the owners have four hectares to grow vegetables! At the restaurant, the menu changes every month according to the produce grown on the estate. Every Saturday, a dance party with live music is organized, as is Sunday lunch. A large hall and terrace overlooking the mountains and stream can also accommodate receptions, weddings and birthdays for up to 150 people. Free private parking for 50 cars.

In the hinterland of Albenga, this restaurant boasts a pretty room with a classic, rustic decor and a pleasant garden. Owner Fausto, head chef, is supported by his son Gabriele, married to a woman from Burgundy who, of course, brings her French touch, especially to the wines. This address invites you to discover local, seasonal cuisine, semi-gastronomic dishes of mushrooms, ceps and truffles, with superb presentation. There are also seven rustic rooms where you can stay on site and still enjoy breakfast!

In 2011, in Turin, three friends decided to cook Jacket Potato with an Italian twist. Basically, anything you can put on a pizza, you put here in a baked potato. The result is delicious, because the products chosen are of the highest quality, and the potato, more than respectable in size, is slowly cooked in a special oven that leaves the flesh melting and the skin crispy, with a slight burnt taste... The success is enormous: other addresses have opened in Turin and Milan.

An original and well-conceived idea for this charming little place, just a stone's throw from the Santa Cecilia monastery. Small, intimate and warm, it offers guests a few tables in a neat Provencal-style setting. You'll feel right at home thanks to the friendly welcome from owners Monica and Marco. Particular attention has been paid to comfort, so you can spend a relaxing moment in good company. An ideal place to enjoy a good bottle of wine accompanied by succulent dishes prepared with masterly skill.
