The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Route de la soie

Located in the Monti district, this osteria offers traditional Roman cuisine revisited with imagination and creativity. A modern touch that respects the authenticity of the recipes while preserving the balance of the dishes. Particularly noteworthy is the scrupulous choice of raw materials, such as the meat supplied by the Roman butcher Angelo Feroci. Don't miss carbonara, cacio e pepe, saltimbocca alla romana: the finest Roman cuisine! Warm welcome in French and Italian!

An excellent address for lovers of good love. Authenticity in the kitchen and in the decor.

Don't be fooled by appearances: despite its never-ending terrace and somewhat rushed service, Carlo Menta offers great value for money for lunch in the heart of the charming Trastevere district. You'll find the great Roman classics, at unbeatable prices (from €6 for a pasta dish!). You can eat on the terrace or in the indoor dining room, which can accommodate a very large number of diners. In any case, it's a good place to indulge yourself while keeping an eye on your budget.

In a good atmosphere, good Neapolitan pizza.

The Caravelle is the name of the miniature replica of the wooden ship in storefront, but also of this historic restaurant of Via XXII Marco, located just steps from San Moses Church and near Saint Mark Square. The bar, adjacent to the restaurant, was used by famous writers, such as Simone de Beauvoir and Jean-Paul Sartre, during their stay in Venice for years after the war. Inside, a cozy atmosphere for a wooden decor that evokes old ships. A distinguished clientele, most often staying at Hotel Saturnia, is located at lunch or dinner, to taste traditional dishes prepared carefully. Beautiful selection of pasta, risotti, seafood, fish… Quick and attentive service. A very good address.

To discover the good addresses, do not hesitate to expand your horizons. When you discover Pompéi in this part of the Lafayette courts near Villeurbanne, it is a real eruption of flavours that is on your plate. Le Pompéi, it is a real Italian restaurant run by authentic Italian who can share their love of the typical dishes of a country full of sun. In this Ristorante Italiano, beautiful decor and a wall decorated with a fresco that reminds us of the origin of the sign, you can enjoy the warm welcome of Antonio, all the freshness and the generosity of the preparation of Franco. You can start with the famous Antipasto iltaliano Pompéi, a nice variation around the Italian charcuterie and marinated vegetables served with white pizza, a delicious Crocantini di capra, crispy goat and its fig jam, or a nice breaded mozzarella. As for the pizzas, you can see the "Classiques", with the delicious and perfectly composed pasta, the "Gourmandes", including the Roberto with mushrooms and raw ham. But the menu is much wider, with a large selection of pasta, gratins, like these lasagnes alla campana, fish, including a bouillabaisse in Italian way, or good meats, including this Franco topped with raw ham and Parmesan. Homemade desserts and wine list from here that does not forget the good chianti. You must be guided to Pompei to be surprised by the magic of Italy, the real one.

A haven for young artists and patrons of the arts in the 1950s and 1960s, this neighborhood restaurant began a new life a few years ago thanks to the meeting of a talented sommelier and an inventive chef. They cultivate the reputation of this table by suggesting careful menus. Risotti, spaghetti, fish, tartar and burrata make up the menu, accompanied by a selection of Italian wines. For dessert, try the exquisite lemon pie.

If you're in the mood for a traditional Genoese meal, among all those modern bistros on Via Ravecca, step into this tiny, yellow-painted restaurant. FYI: Zena is the Genoese dialect name for Genoa. Farinata, ravioli, fish, and the classic trofie with green pesto, everything is prepared in the simplest of ways. A very friendly family atmosphere, where French is spoken. Prices are very reasonable and the food is delicious. Places are scarce, but it's well worth the wait!

A nice address at very good prices, easily reached on foot from the piazzale Roma. It takes its name from a famous thoroughbred, winner of many races at French racecourses. We appreciated the well-kept setting and the flowered garden where we can settle down when the weather is nice. The Venetian cuisine offers beautiful plates of fish cooked with talent (spaghetti with cuttlefish ink, scallops). The products are fresh, and the dishes, including bread and pasta, are homemade.

Famous family cooking, the Trattoria "da Paolo" is a sure value in the Trastevere district. Daily specials are offered and guarantee a change of scenery in season, trust the good advice of the waiter or the landlady! The classic of the house, the saltimbocca alla romana, is recommended. You will also find, of course, the classic specialties of Roman cuisine such as pasta alla carbonara, cacio e pepe or the unmissable alla gricia . Here, everything is homemade, with fresh products.

Along the Fondamenta Nuove, facing the magnificent lagoon landscape that overlooks the northern islands, here is a restaurant that sets the bar high both for the setting and the content of the plate. Inside, the atmosphere is modern and cozy, and outside, a terrace that floats on the water for even more relaxed meals. Behind the stove, ingredients are assembled with a permanent quest for culinary refinement. Those in a hurry will simply stop by the bar for an espresso with brioche, or for the evening spritz and cicchetti.

This ultra-trendy restaurant chain promises elegance and refinement in the heart of the plate! Just a stone's throw from the port of Genoa, a chic address in the centro storico, with a rather refined black and white design decor. On the menu, sea products worked like gems: scallops, fettuccine with langoustines, fresh fish of the day and, for dessert, a delicious frozen pear to fall in love with! Indeed, the fruit is covered with spicy chocolate... Pleasant terrace, quickly crowded in summer.

The restaurant is located in an old sacristy that until ten years ago housed the art gallery of a famous master glassmaker. In the kitchen, apart from the traditional pizzas, which are counted by the dozens, the owner Giuseppe Calliandro reappropriates almost all the treasures of local cuisine, such as Venetian liver served with polenta, cannelloni with Doge or scampi alla busera. Whatever you order, your plate will be deliberately generous. The wine list is also qualitative. Good reception in addition.

In the ghetto, you can eat delicious pizza in the large room or, in summer, outdoors, on the small square, distorted by the roots of a very old tree. It is calm, pleasant, but invaded by mosquitoes. A shadow of the table… Good kitchen and warm welcome.

An address that began in 1582! A trattoria as you love them, where you can eat at a small price and also enjoy it. All products used for the preparation of dishes are fresh. No specialties per se, meat dishes, fish and good pizzas for less than 10 €. A selection of national wines, with a majority of wines from the region. In the beautiful days you can enjoy the pleasant terrace. Warm welcome from Massimo and his team.

After the optics, the pizza? Without a joke, this little troquet competes with Pizza Al Volo (see «Recover» - «Dorsoduro»). Between the two, our heart scales… the dough is fine, crunchy underneath, moellable in and on the top… gardening generously! Don't miss it! For such a small price, it would be a shame to deprive you of it!

After more than 100 years in business, this address is still renowned today for discovering and savoring Roman culinary traditions... Don't miss the carbonara, the house specialty and one of the best in town! The dishes are distinguished by their presentation and the aromas they release, a savoir-faire handed down from generation to generation. What more could you ask for than a warm and inviting place with a terrace overlooking Piazza Campo dei Fiori? A benchmark for Romans. A must for lovers of good food!

One of the best value for money in the capital. In a typical Roman ambience and in an old style, you will taste the main Roman specialities (homemade pasta in carbonara, amatriciana…). A small family trattoria: the father and daughter serve you, while the mother is in the kitchen; The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Ti amo, io sono, ti amo. Futé is always in love with Mamma and even more when it hears Umberto Tozzi's hit in this room of another age where you feel so good. Mamma is the Italian restaurant, an osteria, that we dream of. The terrace belongs to our favourites in this Rue Pleney which is transformed into a pedestrian street in summer. The small scorching heat of this summer allowed us to appreciate an aperitivo in a very warm evening. Aperol Spritz, Italian cold meats and cheeses at each round! When you will read these lines, it will be time to find refuge in a vintage room where Formica tables, a splendid checkered floor and objects which captivate our attention, like this screen that plays white and black films with the beautiful Marcello or these 100% Italian toilets reign. Well, this is before you are served the 100%-homemade dishes. The products are remarkably fresh, the speck is delicious and whether you choose to treat yourself with a bruschetta mozzarella rocket and pesto, homemade antipasti, first-class pizzas or an Italian seasonal dish, to end with a limoncello pannacotta, happiness remains the same. The wine list, which is often organic, is in harmony with the dishes. We should note that the service is particularly pleasant. An address that is permanently among our favourites.

Yes, as his name indicates, in this tavern we eat well! And in addition it's cheap. In a most authentic setting, you will taste typical dishes of Roman cuisine. The spaghetti cacio e pepe or all'amatriciana, the saltimbocca went romana, or the awe abbacchio (lamb). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Nice boutique next door to buy local products!

This establishment is located in what was once one of the first banks in Venice, hence its name. In summer, a beautiful terrace is set up along the canal, right next to the Rialto. The quality of the dishes offered could make you think that you are at one of these prestigious addresses with jealously guarded culinary secrets. This is true, even if the recipe of the house is actually more direct and traditional. The fish, for example, comes from the nearby Rialto market. It is ultra fresh and accompanied by a varied wine list.

Although the pizzeria touches a little with its décor and its small garden does not have too much charm, the best pizzas can be found in a quiet and enchanting area. The Anfora also has the merit of making excellent pizze pizze (probably the best in the city), pizzas without tomato sauce where the mozzarella is directly placed. If the pizza is not to be too dry, the dough must be excellent… what is here.

A popular neighborhood trattoria in Venice since the 1950s. Since that time, it has attracted a clientele of regulars who appreciate its fish cuisine. If the decor is a little cold, the service is impeccable and the team's smile is always present. The chef speaks impeccable French and this will help you if necessary to understand all the subtleties of the menu. A menu rich in dishes and colors, with notably scallops au gratin, spider crab and squid ink risotto.

Owned by the owners of the Rio Hotel, this restaurant near Campo Santa Maria Formosa is well known for its extensive wine list. Ignore the tables on the terrace filled with tourists and head straight for the counter where the regulars meet. Feel free to imitate them by having a good drink while waiting for your pizza. Don't leave without tasting the speciality, the pizzetta aciugheta (with anchovies)...

At the foot of the Ponte del Megio, here is a welcoming, simple and authentic trattoria that serves its guests typical specialties. Pasta dishes and fish risottos are among the most ordered. At lunch time, you can fully immerse yourself in the local life. The customers are mainly Venetians, especially the local artisans who find this a very convenient canteen. You may even find yourself having lunch next to gondoliers who have come to take a break.

We read on the menu, subtitle, "The Best Pizza," and that's true. 90 types of pizza, so say the choice is embarrassing. The decor is far from beautiful, so to say: it's not beautiful at all (road style style). Space is small and fast service. Nothing surprising in sum, if it's these huge pizzas, good to fall! The service is pleasant, pretty fast.

A few steps from the Porto antico, this is an address that accurately recited the best of Neapolitan cuisine in a family atmosphere. In cooking Carlo caters his fish dishes, always ultra-fresh, while in the room, under the vaults of this historic room, Chiara will help you choose among the few 200 wine labels that account in the cellar of the house.

" Home made ", this is how Casareccio can be translated from this 6 th Arrondissement Italian restaurant. It should be said that we could also add "trattoria" before this sign, so everything is "made in Italy" in this facility which offers fresh products, cheeses, cold meats… Italian. Terrace with olive trees, sober interior on two levels, blend of old and modern, wooden oven to cook pizzas and grill meats, nothing missing to transport us on the other side of the Alps. A nice choice of pizzas to enjoy on site or to take away, but above all a beautiful menu of Italian gastronomy from pasta to envy: Maruzzella maruzzella, fettuccine al pesto, ravioli ai funghi di bosco, al lasagna… to homemade desserts, to a agnello di forno, the traditional scaloppa Milanese or parmigiana, without missing the osso-buco and the saltimbocca alla romana. An authentic Italian house, where even chocolate served with the coffee is Italian! for our greatest pleasure. Italian service, smiling and efficient.

The service is impeccable, the tables are nicely decorated and the kitchen, typically Roman or more generally Italian, is tasty. Try fish specialities!

This simple and pleasant trattoria offers excellent pasta and pizza at reasonable prices.

This room, which is named after a traditional Dish of typical Roman cuisine, is a historic and popular address, known for its excellent typical dishes, its welcoming atmosphere, its fast service and its small prices. The best dish to advise is of course the speciality of the house, the pasta cacio e pepe (cheese and pepper). This very old dish is the dish of the shepherd based on sheep's cheese (the pecorino romano) and pepper, which despite an apparent simplicity is very difficult to realise.

This is the terrace where you have to come and drink its Aperol Sipped with an orange slice in it. Finally, if there is still room on the terrace, for in a short time the restaurant of Cyrille Monnet - cross to the Three Maries, the case friendly - has been successful. It is therefore prudent to book at lunchtime to have the right to enjoy an excellent dish of the day at 12 € and the colours of Italy, the north preferably, realized with fresh fresh produce and revisited according to the chef's Lyon inspiration. A daily gastronomic delight and other suggestions for pleasure with a genovese basilico gran, pig feet, beans and ceps, or a ris risotto risotto, Scottish Coquilles and wild asparagus. It is impossible to predict what you will find on the slate on the day of your visit, because you will not miss coming, but it is certain that happiness will be on your plate! A friendly atmosphere, it laugh in a frame where every detail (and music) has its importance, a little in the way of a stopper that would have crossed the Alps. A great success and a real discovery recommended by the Smart.

In your opinion, who can an Italian say "I love you"? His girlfriend, mother or acciughe (grandmother)? All three, bravo! With a preference for grandmother Maria who has passed on the best taste of her country to Luigi, the chef who makes us share his delicious recipes. And if Jérémy's grandmother was not Italian, it must be recognized that the other membre's pizza is delicious. An atypical setting - look at the ceiling - a small room that delivers souvenirs from Italy to enjoy a map that divides between traditional cuisine and pizza. On both sides, even concern for quality and origin of products. Small prices and fine achievements in plates with dishes of the day to the names that make them dream, like these ricotta chicken polpettone and wrapped poulet in a speck of speck… Not forgetting the gnocchis according to the seasons, such as this surprising and delicious summer pears, the famous Bobo pizza or Torta della mama to finish. In this area where eating can be complicated, an address should not be missed.

The Il Marin restaurant, overlooking the Darse on the top floor of Eataly, not only offers a magnificent view of the old port. The cuisine on offer is refined, meticulously prepared using fresh local produce. Service is impeccable. Let us advise you on the catch of the day and follow chef Marco Visciola in his creations. Ligurian gastronomy is reinterpreted with great skill. A refined setting for those seeking a high-level gastronomic experience.

A 16th century room with a high vaulted ceiling, wooden tables lit by candlelight and a renowned cuisine make this restaurant a sought-after address in town. Among the house's specialities, tasty recipes such as octopus carpaccio, tagliatelle with lamb juice and pork or salmon skewers, but above all grilled labelled red meat (impressive beef steak!). Le Tiflis is also a pizzeria and a wine bar popular with Genoese youth for its pleasant summer terrace.

This family-run restaurant, located on the road to the Arsenale, offers good risotti alla marinara, spaghetti at dry, bigoli, Sardinian in saor, etc. In sum, the whole range of typical Venetian dishes but at very affordable prices. There is not much room, but in summer you can be served in the small interior garden.
