The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Italie - Alpes italiennes et Dolomites

In the heart of the Romano Romano, this stylish, contemporary restaurant with a refined garden and soft lighting offers a large, traditional pizza card. However, some freedoms are taken: pizzas with exotic guaranteed flavours.

A pizzeria-restaurant with a very Neapolitan ambiance. As its name indicates, it serves dishes based on mussels (cozze) but also some pizzas (15 varieties). The bright and colourful garden makes the atmosphere pleasant and Mediterranean. Among the dishes, try a'cozziata, a rich plateau of mussels and other specialties of the sea, and, as cheese, the famous mozzarella mozzarella, speciality Neapolitan speciality.

FIAT, or Fate Infretta A Tavola (which could be translated as: hurry up and eat!). The tone is of course ironic and mocking in this osteria, symbol of the Lingotto district. Local workers and civil servants come here to have a bite to eat at noon, so the service is very quick. Nevertheless, the dishes remain very good and the prices more than correct. On the walls, photos, newspaper articles and old advertisements tell the story of the famous Italian car brand and the city of Turin associated with it.

Imagine an osteria where the waiters exchange jokes as they run around the room, where a plate of salami and gorgonzola is placed on your table as a welcome, and where the evenings always end very late, perhaps after tasting the homemade digestifs... This is the Osteria dei Colori, a restaurant with several pretty, colorful, candlelit rooms. Everything here is really very good, but don't miss the house specialty: chicche allo stracchino.

Another historic Milanese restaurant. This is where every year the literary prize of the same name (Bagutta) is awarded. Tuscan cuisine is delicious and the garden is very pleasant in summer.

A trattoria in the rules of the art: brick vaults, checkered tablecloths, wine pitcher and a lot of atmosphere! On the menu, the best of the lake's specialities. The dishes of the day are listed, but the regulars go straight to the point: antipasto del lago (lake appetizer) and tinca al forno con polenta (polenta oven tench). It won't take you long to understand where this trattoria gets its name " del gallo ", from the rooster: the collection of objects in the shape of roosters is impressive!

Excellent wood-fired pizzas in the characteristic setting of an old Milanese working-class dwelling. Small wooden tables and bottle-covered shelves upstairs, a large vaulted room in the basement for groups. A friendly, informal address that doesn't drain the wallet while guaranteeing an authentic setting and impeccable service. Pizzas include ham and artichoke, spicy salami and four-cheese. Focaccia and salads are also on the menu.

This authentic restaurant offers excellent local cuisine. The homemade pasta is simply delicious! We especially enjoy seafood: antipasti, seafood, fresh fish dishes of the day... That day we had a bit of octopus as a starter, followed by tagliatelle with tuna and eggplant cream. Finally, we tried the succulent and traditional tiramisu... A very professional welcome in a refined atmosphere. We quickly realize that this is a very good address that delights the taste buds as well as the pupils

In the hamlet of Clusane, 5 km west of the center of Iseo, a historic address known by the good forks of the surrounding area. The Bosio family has run this stone cottage on the little port since 1862, and the quality of the restoration is as good as ever. The dining room is full of character, with its wooden counter and copper pans hanging from the walls. The cuisine is a tribute to local produce: baked or grilled lake fish, spaghetti with prawns and grandma's apple pie... Enticing, isn't it?

Housed in a 17th century palace, this restaurant offers typical lake cuisine and also high quality regional specialities from Trentino. You can eat on the terrace or in a cosy room.

As for the staff, available and smiling, they will be at your disposal to advise you on dishes and wines.

Since 1977, this small trattoria, a little retro, offers fresh fish straight from the lake! You can get there from the center of Peschiera, by a nice walk along the banks. Simple and popular, the place benefits from a good location: a few steps from the port. On the menu, try the trout mousse, the pasta with tench juice, the house antipasto (made with fish) and the grilled fish fillets. A very good address with a friendly atmosphere. For dessert, the crème caramel and the tiramisu are among the most popular.

Friendly and charming atmosphere in this historic brasserie with old stones, in an old vaulted cellar. Behind the stoves, the best of Brescian cuisine is prepared for you to enjoy - with a special focus on polenta and excellent local cheeses. Marco Poteri, the chef, also works to combine the culinary traditions of the region with modern cooking techniques and tasty adaptations in the preparations.

Facing the Roman ruins of what used to be the imperial palace, hidden behind an unassuming entrance, a small corridor leads to a wonderful veranda overlooking a pleasant garden with centuries-old trees. A stylish, chic and very Milanese address, chef Antonio Facciolo offers creative, tasty and sophisticated dishes. On the menu are specialties that have sometimes been revisited: veal liver carpaccio with marinated cherries, poached egg with almond milk, asparagus, cotechino (pig's trotter) and cannelloni revisited in a light version.

This restaurant is one of the great classics of Saló: homemade pasta, a wide choice of meat and fish, and special dishes according to the season. The name says it all: each table is decorated with a rose. Here you can also taste the carpione, the trout from Lake Garda, a very rare fish. The menu changes regularly and the beautiful wine list accompanies the dishes perfectly. As for the service, it is impeccable even if it can sometimes be a little long.

La dispensa is located in the small central square of San Felice, a landmark on this corner of the lake and a must for food lovers. It was a very welcoming place with a beautiful terrace, with a well-diversified menu ranging from charcuterie to meat and fish, not forgetting the many starters. The quality of the raw materials, the freshness of the products and the culinary know-how are the basis of its success. The dishes are accompanied by a rich wine list: a whole room is reserved for them, what a choice!

A retired firefighter in the 1950's opened this sought-after trattoria with a warm and relaxed atmosphere that will whet your appetite right away. Your mouth is watering when you look at the counter filled with deli meats and cheeses from all over Italy (there are even hams hanging from the ceiling!). Dishes of regional tradition are cooked in a wise way, always with that little touch that enhances the flavours. Pigeon risotto and Venetian-style veal liver with polenta are real culinary feats.
