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

Another renowned pizzeria in Milan. It's perhaps the one where there is the widest choice of pizzas, all very original and tasty.

If you've decided to eat only pasta, you'll find your happiness in this restaurant. An exceptionally varied choice and serving portions more than copious. Meat and fish are prepared for the wood fire.

Across the Po, a few steps from the famous church of the Gran Madre di Dio, La Cantinella is a pretty trattoria, both informal and romantic, elegant restaurant and chic pizzeria. With its thick cloth tablecloths and napkins, candlelit tables and soft music, it's the ideal restaurant for a romantic evening. Numerous Piedmontese specialties, stone-cooked meats, good fish, truffles in season, and of course a very appreciable choice of pizze and focacce. And don't forget to try our famous Tarte Tatin, a real delight!

Excellent cuisine in the Milanese tradition, prepared with great taste and imagination. The atmosphere is very friendly because this restaurant is attached to the Catholic University and therefore frequented by many students.

Le Borgo is nestled in an ^18th-century villa. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, and in winter it's even warmer thanks to a large open fire. The careful cuisine is intimately Bellunese, as evidenced by the minestrone d'orzo e fagioli, a barley and bean soup. Fresh pasta and game dishes are equally excellent. Finish your meal with a glass of amaro dello speziale. Three simple, comfortable guest rooms are also available.

The ambience of this restaurant takes you back in time, when mills still operated along the Dora. This picturesque trattoria has not succumbed to modernity and retains its old-world charm, where you can take your time after browsing the flea markets at nearby Balôn and Gran Balôn. Traditional dishes have also been preserved: bollito in salsa verde (boiled meat with parsley sauce), homemade pasta with beans and breadsticks. Not to be missed if you're looking for a no-frills place with an authentic Piedmontese tradition.

This is a restaurant for gourmets where delicious cuisine is prepared by Chef Claudio Santin. An address to be fun.

The ideal place to eat a good pizza in a typical mountain atmosphere.

Always 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.

A 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.

A large, modern, well-lit space serving a wide selection of pizzas, pastas and risotti, as well as salads, burgers and more elaborate dishes featuring Piedmontese and Ligurian specialties. An impressive choice of wines, mainly from northern Italy, but also beers. It's a bit like Cuneo's cantina, with everyone gathering here for lunch or dinner, but the service is fast and the atmosphere very good. Prices are very reasonable for this quality of cuisine. The only slight negative: it's noisy...

One of the city's historic restaurants, Baracca offers typical Biella dishes in a simple, familiar setting, where yellow dominates. The dishes on offer change according to the day and the season, but certain classics are always on the menu, such as the risotto, which is a must, but also the bagna cauda, or the braised beef(brasato) cooked slowly in Barolo wine. A fine list of Piedmont wines, too. Service is a little slow, but the value for money is well worth the detour.

Ideal to eat a good pizza without breaking the bank. The place is unpretentious, with a large vaulted room overlooking ancient stone arches. The locals are not mistaken and come here to order their favourite pizzas. The mozzarella is particularly exceptional, the thin and crispy dough is tasty and the pizza with Tyrolean speck and a beautiful ball of burrata is a pure wonder. Also some very hearty pasta dishes, but really pizzas are a must. Fast and friendly service.

A trattoria in the historic center where excellent Trentino specialties are served at a good price. Try the surprising deer and black truffle risotto and the tasty sprangolapreti (Trentino gnocchi). Good local wines, very friendly service and a nice atmosphere in the evening. The setting is chic and elegant inside with nice antique armchairs. You can also opt for the terrace on the street. Courteous service.

In the historic center, this inn-restaurant, housed in a pretty little 1930s villa, is one of the region's most renowned addresses. The chef offers regional dishes that reflect the quality principles of the Slow Food label. The cuisine is based on the market and the seasons, using the freshest produce, but with small portions. The eight rooms at the Villa Myosotis inn, each named after Snow White and each of the Seven Dwarfs, are cosy and comfortable.

Germanic, authentic and very welcoming atmosphere in this restaurant, whose German name Weißes Rössl is used much more often than Italian. The historic inn can be identified by its painted façade, which can be recognized from afar. The restaurant offers excellent regional specialties in a stylish setting: pork tenderloin with mushrooms, trout in white wine, speck and of course apple strudel. If you have to choose a good address for a regular canteen, this is it, for its prices as modest as its dishes are generous.

Set back from the seaside without yet being totally inland, the Da Delio restaurant is as much a must-see as the Château de la Comtesse, which dominates this charming, atypical little village. The chef offers local cuisine in the form of grilled meats cooked over olive wood. The dining room offers a beautiful view over the verdant valley, while the terrace is at the foot of the carrugio. Just a few of the dishes on offer: hot artichoke and potato pie, cured ham with artichokes in Perinaldo oil... Delicious!

Located on a pretty plot near the church, with a large terrace, the Trattoria offers regional and family dishes at a soft price.

The offer of this bottega near Via Mazzini is overflowing with typical Gladiators dishes: antipasto con gorgonzola, lardo, salumi e polenta; the risotto all'Amarone; lasagnette IOC coi; bigolis in duck sauce, caval pastissada; bollito con la pearà; fasoi imbogonai; The brasato all'Amarone… We could continue the list but we don't want to spoil you to discover the map of this restaurant that has existed in Verona since 1890. And the atmosphere is really very nice, the good helping wine… Because the wine list is not in rest. 1 500 Italian wine labels and the region. Possibility of buying bottles to take.

Don't be discouraged by the rustic appearance of Piedigrotta. In spite of appearances, here we eat the best pizza in town. The Neapolitan managers brought their recipes and ingredients to this alley in the centre of Varese. The buffalo mozzarella is well melted and the dough is tender and crunchy as it should be. Moreover, the presentation is original, with each pizza accompanied by a small glass of sauce placed in the middle. The youth of Varese, fond of "good and cheap" addresses, has made it one of its favourite haunts

Nice atmosphere in this friendly downtown restaurant. One sits in a stone-vaulted room, an old 17th century barn, to savour well-presented regional specialities (with a clear tendency towards the gastronomic refinement of a great chef) and accompanied by the best local wines. For example, why not let yourself be tempted by the antipasti of Valtellina cold cuts, followed by the traditional pizzocheri and a small roast lamb? Forget about your figure and discover the regional gastronomic heritage!

An address at the end of the world, for a gourmet stopover and more if the budget allows. A cosy chalet, recently restored, in its mountain setting, managed by the Mussner family for over 40 years.

A pizzeria among the best known of the Navigli. Pizza, very fine and wide, is enough to satisfy the most ferocious appetites. Several types of pizzas are proposed, some adapted to various intolerances: white pizza (without tomato sauce), gluten free pizza, lactose-free, and even pizza flour.

A good trattoria pizzeria a little eccentric, with a nice atmosphere and the welcome to the Italian boss. Guests who visit the place for homemade pasta dishes, especially.

In the fourns for twenty years, a sympathetic couple of Trieste, great collectors of cutters and small liqueur glasses whose copies adorn the rooms. Their cuisine vogue between Milanese tradition with a French touch and Italian regional specialties. The atmosphere is young and very friendly.

A tasteful decor, fast service and a tempting menu make this pizzeria a sure bet in Milan's Porta Venezia district. It always sells out, especially at weekends, so be sure to make a reservation. The Neapolitan dough pizzas, made with quality ingredients, are succulent and well worth discovering. We particularly like the giolina, a pizza with eggplant and parmesan. At the end of the meal, we recommend you indulge in a tiramisù, which is delicious here.

If there was only one, it's this one! This unpretentious pizza-bar has a renovated wooden and stone frame. Nothing fancy or kitschy, but a pleasant room, just like the terrace in the heart of the village. People come here especially for its pizzas, delicious, gargantuan, perfectly cooked over a wood fire with a crispy and fine dough (Neapolitan style), among the best and cheapest in the village. Some of them have interesting mountain compositions such as the one with turnip cream, smoked provola, sausage km0 and pane grattugiato.

In this traditional Friulian restaurant - both in the setting and on the plate - recipes are passed down from grandmother to granddaughter: it is the new generation that is active in the kitchen. The menu is limited to seasonal products. Hearty dishes that are very tasty in the mountains in winter (game meat, frico, goulash...), lighter and full of crudités in summer. We also appreciate the cold meats and cheeses of altitude. Grappa with homemade herbs offered as a digestive.

Located in the centre of Brunico, this beautiful and picturesque pink house is a must-see. The interior is completely covered with old wooden fences, literally from floor to ceiling. The atmosphere is very picturesque and warm. The table is one of the most famous in the region, very popular with the locals (remember to book). But what is the secret of this restaurant? Tasty Tyrolean dishes such as canederli or deer goulash, served in generous portions, and recipes that combine fine execution with mountain rusticity.

At Miscusi's, the pasta served is fresh, and you can admire the pastry chef at work! You will be asked to choose the type of pasta you want(trofie, tagliatelle, paccheri...) , and your sauce before adding any ingredients such as burrata or crushed nuts. And if you prefer to rely on the know-how of the cooks, take a look at the specialities of the day on the slate. A friendly atmosphere and very affordable prices, we can only recommend. Four other addresses in Milan, including one at the Stazione Centrale.

Fleg is the best takeaway pizza you can find in Turin. The little store is perfectly located in the center of Via Po, near the main points of interest in the city. The Neapolitan tradition of pizza is sublimated and there are several options of pizzas al taglio, that is to say to the size, calzones, but also Neapolitan fried. Everything is made with quality ingredients from Campania. To accompany it, excellent craft beers because in Italy, you never drink wine with your pizza, but beer!

This small restaurant, a stone's throw from the cathedral, is a specialist in cicchetti, a Venetian specialty, snacks made with the chosen ingredients (meat, fish, vegetables). The menu, on the other hand, is inspired by Emilia-Romagna and changes regularly according to the seasons. Excellent dishes are offered. A few tables, a good welcome and an excellent cuisine make it a well-known and well-frequented address. Another specialty of the house is its collection of gins, which attracts many people for an aperitif, among others.

Historical pizzeria in Turin, founded in 1976, and considered one of the most famous because here they make the real Neapolitan pizza with stone-ground flour and high quality products. Choose the "a mano libera" menu for a pizza tasting around the table. There is also the possibility of gluten-free pizzas, baked in a separate and very specific oven. To accompany these little masterpieces, you will have to choose from a wide selection of Birrificio Sorlamà di Vaie's renowned craft beers.

This restaurant, which is located on the slopes, is distinguished by its colourful and well-prepared dishes. The cuisine is Valle d'Aostan but some traditional Italian dishes are also offered. The speciality is grilled alpine meat. The bar makes portioned pizzas and gourmet sandwiches for those in a hurry to get back to the Matterhorn, including stuffed focaccias and the famous croque-monsieur with local ham and cheese.

Not far from dinosaur footprints and hiking trailheads, this mountain gîte is a recommended stopover for its authenticity, its setting with goats and cows in the background. The mixed platter of cold meats and cheeses is incredible, as are the smoked ricotta ricotta gnocchi, or the balacia fried cheese... a marvel! You can also buy fresh cheeses of the day at the dairy. The welcome is sincerely warm, and you can take pleasure in sitting on the terrace under the parasols. As a bonus the prices are reasonable.

Located in the heart of Brunico's pedestrian streets on a small square, this unpretentious pizzeria spreads out its tables on the terrace. For a change from speck and mountain specialties, the address also offers dishes from southern Italy, such as lamb stew with Pugliese asparagus. But the great specialty of the address is of course the pizza! The ingredients are fresh and tasty, the Neapolitan-style dough is uniquely crisp and the prices are low. The pasta dishes of the day on the slate are worth a handful of euros, a real treat.

Fabrizio and Valeria have settled in Cuneo, where they prepare Lombardy and Piedmont recipes in their cosy restaurant, with fish dishes borrowed from nearby Liguria. Piatti di Parola offers sincere, family-style, local cuisine. The menu, a blend of tradition and creativity, changes every season with its Northern Italian specialties.

From the top of the Paganella ski resort, at an altitude of over 2,000 metres, this refuge serves exceptional cuisine. Just look at the dishes: polenta with melted cheese and mushrooms, venison, tagliatelle with porcini mushrooms. And a choice of homemade beers or local wine, including a white wine from the Dolomites, "Reflessi di Brenta", produced on the slopes of Sporminore. Large crispy pretzels are served as an accompaniment. For dessert, while sailing through the Italian Tyrol, you can sway for a tiramisu or strudel.

Zibo was born a few years ago as a food-truck, before becoming this charming little restaurant not far from Sant'Ambrogio. The menu changes according to the season, and features traditional Italian recipes, often revisited, and always prepared using traditional methods. On our visit, we particularly liked the squash, amaretti and mostarda ravioli. The setting is warm and inviting, with seating for around 30 and an open kitchen, and the service is friendly. An address to discover in the neighborhood.

Lost in the mountain pastures, 10 minutes from Brunico, this mountain farmhouse offers new rooms at reasonable prices. Well-equipped little cocoons that we like to take on half-board, so that we don't have to think about anything and we can sit down to eat, as it is one of the most famous restaurants in the area. An address for gourmets where the ingredients come as much as possible from the vegetable garden and the farm, where local flavors are very well worked, revisited by the chef Christof Feichter and twisted with modernity, the plates nicely decorated with mountain flowers.

Cosy restaurant in the historic center where the owner conveys passion and emotion in his recipes. The decor is meticulous in every detail, and the furnishings offer relaxation and comfort for this culinary experience. This attention to detail is also evident in the presentation of the dishes, which are elegantly presented in a play of colors that can be appreciated in the same way as the intensity of their aromas. Personalized cuisine inspired by regional tradition, with a touch of innovation. In fine weather, the terrace is the place to be.

Just a stone's throw from the Navigli (a ten-minute walk), you'll find this genuine Milanese canteen, which welcomes local employees and regulars every lunchtime. A local address where prices are low but quality is high: what more could you ask for? On the other hand, it's best not to be in a hurry, as the queue can get pretty long. The atmosphere is friendly, almost family-like. The homemade desserts are particularly delicious. Make sure you're still hungry, as the portions are generous!

A historic pizzeria in the Chinatown district, on Via Paolo Sarpi. Here you'll be served the famous "pizza al trancio", a slice of pizza fresh from the oven. This pizza, very different from the well-known Neapolitan pizza, is so hearty that it's sold by the slice. The locals love it! At Giuliano's, the base is always a margherita. You can enjoy it as is, or add ham or olives, which are available as extras... To eat in or take away, it's a must in Milan!

Without any doubt an address to remember, just in front of the Bosco Verticale. The kitchen, open non-stop from morning to night, mixes Spanish and French influences and honors quality Italian products. The menu changes every day according to the season. The trendy industrial decoration makes it a pleasant place for a break at any time of the day. And if you're around early in the morning, you can also have a sweet or savory breakfast.

The dining room of this guesthouse is one of the most beautiful and refined in the rustic style of the region. The four brick vaults that make up the ceiling are supported in their center by a beautiful column. In the medieval-style fireplace, some of the meats on the menu are braised in a convivial atmosphere. With the name given to the restaurant, wine is bound to flow freely... The labels are numerous and sought-after, and the manager is a professional sommelier who will advise you on local vintages.

The Tanpì brewery-restaurant ("tant pis" in Valle d'Aosta dialect, which is of course ironic) serves a range of Valle d'Aostan and Italian specialties, some revisited in a more modern style. Tables are set in the large adjoining room, with a bar that also serves snacks. The cuisine is sophisticated, with unusual combinations of flavors that are very well executed. The cheese soufflé (local fontina), on a bed of pear with Modena balsamic vinegar, and the tagliatelle with artichoke and sautéed squid were divine.

This is undoubtedly one of Courmayeur's finest restaurants. As its name suggests, this restaurant boasts a lovely sunny terrace right in the heart of the village. It also has a rustic, elegant and cosy winter dining room, and serves traditional local and Italian dishes. They are always brilliantly executed with creativity and finesse. Gnocchi and ravioli, for example, are made by hand. The Valle d'Aosta menu includes charcuterie, lard d'Arnad, fondue and carbonade.
