The best Italian pizzerias and restaurants Route de la soie

A trattoria pizzeria of good quality. Here you will find typical dishes of Italian and Venetian cuisine. Good pizzas. For lunch, do not hesitate to choose the generally rich and cheap «turistico menu». In the beautiful days you can enjoy the terrace.

At the foot of the Porta Soprana and the house of Christopher Columbus, this trattoria is just right! The entrance doesn't look like much, and yet the address defends itself well for a regional meal between two visits. The atmosphere is warm, just like the Ligurian cuisine. Among the specialities of the house, let's mention the streppe (variety of pasta) al pesto or the fish fillet and its accompaniment of small vegetables. There are also gluten-free menus and a good selection of wines and traditional beers.

Here, you'll have no choice: the house decides and proposes a fixed menu every evening. Once you're seated, the dishes follow one another without fuss, delighting young and old alike. Simple and hearty, the cuisine at Trattoria der Pallaro is authentic mamma cooking. Paola, in apron and kerchief, passes back and forth between the tables, having her photo taken, with a kind word for each of her guests. In the 50 years she's been cooking here, her reputation has spread beyond the borders of Lazio!

Pizzeria (with a huge choice of pizzas bianche and rosse, as well as Roman and Neapolitan), San Marco also concocts the classics of Roman and Italian cuisine with respect to the product. On the terrace or in the pleasant dining room (perfect if you are a small group). It's not the most authentic place in Rome, the menu is so vast that you can get lost, but you can eat well and it's a restaurant to recommend in the center. Another address in Rome, in the Prati district, via Tacito 29.

On the corner of Via San Bernardo and Vico Vegetti, in the heart of Genoa's oldest district, this establishment has retained the atmosphere of yesteryear, with its checkered curtains and tablecloths. Here, you can discover old regional recipes such as lettuce stuffed with broth and tripe, or classic fried fish and spaghetti with pesto, but also more original recipes such as fried ravioli (a kind of fried pasta that's absolutely divine) or calf's liver in vinegar sauce, all accompanied by an excellent wine list.

A number of reasons will lead you to this warm trattoria located in the heart of Trastevere, the small square that is an enchantment, the small external tables and a simple and clean environment. The management is in care of a community made up of physically and mentally disabled young people who take care of the room, who cook, who paint and display their paintings… Try vegetable Couscous, Zucchini pasta, mint, sage or fettuccine in Sicilian.

One of the city's oldest osterie, this little neighborhood canteen is in the pure Venetian culinary tradition. It's best to reserve in the evening, as the three charming little indoor rooms fill up quickly. No terrace in summer. Follow your desires and affinities and let yourself be carried away. It's a sure bet for quality and authenticity. And if you've never tried baccala (salt cod in cream sauce), you can go there with your eyes closed. Ciccheti are also very popular.

A few metres from the Pantheon, a family trattoria that has been in operation since 1961. In addition to the great classics, Armando's son has added some new and unpublished creations. For example, you can try barley soup with ceps and truffles, duck with plums and homemade desserts such as torta Antica Roma, a ricotta and strawberry jam pie served warm. The welcome is friendly, the room pleasant and the prices are honest for the situation, central as possible. The wait can be long, it is better to book.

Behind the large synagogue, on the main street of the Ghetto, four brothers opened a kosher restaurant, whose reputation continues to grow. For the carciofi went giudia, but also des accompanied by dried meat, or even a pine salad salad, we get pressed in this pleasant and elegant decor.

"No pizzas, no lasagnas, no tourist menus". The sign on the door announces the color right away... Not far from the Pescheria but off the beaten track, this restaurant claims to be different and functions above all by word of mouth. It is very popular with Venetians who like to meet there on Saturday evenings to enjoy a traditional cuisine made with fish and vegetables from the lagoon and its estuary. The interior of the trattoria is sober, with wooden chairs and white cotton tablecloths. Notice to the gourmets.

Excellent value for money, probably the best, for less than € 25, will taste a real Italian meal: from the aperitivo to the antipasti, before going to the first dish, then to the second (only for meat) and, finally, dessert.
A good selection of cheap wines. It's not possible to be disappointed by this carefully decorated restaurant and the boss who is in the small care…

In this classic trattoria we serve a simple and tasty Roman cuisine. The dishes are accompanied by a pleasant atmosphere and a relatively small local cellar.

On the détour of the old Genoa, a charming, charming square, easily recognisable as it overlooks a church. Nestled in a corner, the restaurant La Sosta degli artisti offers pizza and focaccie specialities and other Italian recipes. Young and casual clients. On summer evenings, you can enjoy dinner on the terrace with a beer or glass of wine.

Typical restaurant and official representative of Venetian charm 50 m from St. Mark's Square. Its interior with its apparent th century beams and its historical decor will take you to the heart of the romantic city of the ancient city. The restaurant has several rooms which each have their own ambiance and even offer couples a small intimate room, ideal for a meal in mind. The chef surprises each day with his simple and creative cuisine combining subtle and improbable flavours that will not cease to amaze you. Fresh daily products on your plate, meat and fish directly from the Venice market and homemade pasta. The service is excellent and the servers speak French. The map is obviously translated.

Once frequented by artists and Romans, Sora Margherita has convinced tourists passing through without losing its authenticity. When you walk into this modest restaurant, which has been operating since 1925, it seems as if time has stood still. The atmosphere and the menu, written on paper as it changes every day, respect the purest Roman tradition. You can lick your lips... Pasta is homemade by hand, and all dishes are served in abundance. A word of advice, wait before ordering the second one!

In the heart of Rome, not far from Navona Square, this restaurant offers Roman cuisine at reasonable prices: spaghetti alla carbonara, strozzapreti all'amatriciana, lasagne au four, tripe or saltimbocca à la romaine... But their real specialty is charcoal meats. Their pizzas baked in a wood-fired oven are also very appetizing, and it is also possible to choose the dough you prefer: romaine (finer) or Neapolitan. Great plus, the service is friendly and the terrace pleasant.

A good pizzeria in the atmosphere of the lively Trastevere, small and unpretentious.

This pretty tavern welcomes you with warmth and a real quality of service, under its ceiling illuminated by a dozen lanterns. The menu offers a wide selection of traditional dishes such as gnocchi, tagliatelle, ravioli, pizzas, lamb chops and beef filet with green pepper. Vegetarian guests can also choose from a wide range of gluten-free dishes, based on vegetables or fish. For dessert, let yourself be tempted by the panna cotta with forest fruits or the lemon sorbet.

Also known as Da Ricci, after the family that has run it for four generations (Est! Est!! Est! is actually the name of a wine), this pizzeria near the church of Santa Maria Maggiore is one of the oldest in Rome. Once past the entrance, you'll find yourself in a pretty bistro-style room. On the menu: pizzas prepared Neapolitan-style, i.e. with thick, crispy dough, but also typically Roman pinzas .

A classic, delicious and cheap trattoria. There is a rich, well-turned menu, which you can enjoy in a truly typical interior.

On the Campo San Tomà, just a few steps from the Dei Frari Basilica in the quiet neighborhood of San Polo, there is a small family trattoria. All in length, it welcomes you in a warm, wooden decor with pictorial touches, including reproductions of vedut (views) from the City of Doges and a famous Van Gogh painting. À la carte, wide choice of pizze, meat, fish but also for small faims, entries such as zuppa di pesce (fish) or greenery (of vegetables, i. e. minestrone). Good address, quality and light price. Welcome to the smile. In the beautiful season, the small garden in the back of the restaurant is very pleasant.

A few steps from the Rialto, which does not go in summer without its tourist foultitude, you will take as a blessing this retired trattoria and its terrace of 7 or 8 tables deliciously shaded by a green roof. We can see what happens in the kitchen, the door being always open, and follow the lively discussions of the staff, surprisingly many. There's a big room inside, if by chance it rains. The map offers a wide choice of meat and fish (cuttlefish à la Vénitienne, gambas de, roasted seabream) or, more simply, the usual range of pizzas, including one of the seafood.

At Bruno, the pasta is made home, the fish is fresh (the soup of fish is delicious) and the meat is tender. Only criticism: It's so good that sometimes we would have liked to have a bit more… The server is nice. All this at a "low" price!

At Paolino, a well-known area of the area where it is imperative to book at noon, every day we place a point of honour to serve you with a generous sun full of sunshine. Two beautiful air-conditioned rooms, one on the mezzanine, inviting us to Italy, and an efficient service that makes us feel "as at home" in a friendly atmosphere. At every meal, the pleasure is the same and if one comes back every lunchtime to taste the many specialities of the house, including the famous pizza pizzas and crispy, fragrant and full of plates like this Gilberto, this Paolino or this Zucchine with its pickled zucchini. It is with envy that we wait on Thursday and Friday evening to explore the map. Maxi-salads, including a wonderful antipasti at 9,50 €, pasta, of course, fish and meat with an Italian-style veal steak. As the culmination of a delicious meal, the desserts are home-made (4 hours daily) and it would be a serious mistake not to succumb to tiramisu decline according to the seasons. Paolino welcomes groups, even schools, to organise event meals. Address should not be missed.

A small corner of Italy full of delicious discoveries: antipasti, fresh pasta, home-made ravioli stuffed with meat, mushrooms, vegetables or cheese… at noon, we turn for lunch in front of the chilled window, between Secco pasta shelves, regional wine bottles and large black and white photos of Italian actors. A genuine atmosphere of trattoria. The rest of the time, the grocery store delivers its treasures: in addition to fresh pasta, charcuterie, cheese, plethora of marinated antipasti (dried tomatoes, artichokes of artichokes, anchovies, mushrooms…), local pastries encartonnées, several homemade sauces and a minute grated Parmesan for maximum aromas on the plate. In short, a nice neighbourhood address, which deserves to be stopped.

A pizzeria still very busy. It is because of the provocation. But dishes (salads or pizzas), as cheap as they are, are always well prepared.

In the historic centre, an ideal address for a lunch stop: antipasti, small vegetables, delicious homemade cheeses and cakes accompanied by a good coffee.

This family-run pizzeria is a good place to taste an excellent Roman pizza with crisp dough.

Far from the beaten track, here is an address as we like them, discreet and picturesque at the same time. From the terrace to the interior room, everything is meticulously small and terribly pretty. So small that the chef Virgilio only proposes in his menu the arrivals of the market, for lack of having the place for too important reserves in his kitchen. His wife Larisa will serve you, depending on the ingredients of the day, a golden fritto misto overflowing from her dish, a delicious seafood risotto or scallops with asparagus.

Traditional restaurant famous and inexpensive. We are served in two main rooms, especially frequented by Italians who know the quality of the places.

In addition to her two addresses in Testaccio and Ostiense, Angelina is also located in Trevi. The famous fountain is only a few blocks away, the romantic and vintage decor reminds us of a winter garden with watering cans and flower pots on the walls. The menu is a little bit ordinary, with the exception of the Angelina antipasto: a three-tiered display case filled with deli meats, cheese, fried foods and gratinated eggplants (melanzane alla parmigiana). Just with that, we're satisfied! Good to know, the door next door welcomes Café Angelina, famous for its cornetti

Nestled on the heights of the city, facing the Aldo Acquarone park, this typical restaurant with a guinguette look is not lacking in charm! We like its retro look with its open-air terrace. In the summer, it's crowded and it's better to reserve. Indeed, the pizzas prepared here are delicious. But the must is the pinsa: an even more succulent preparation with quality ingredients. In a young and relaxed atmosphere, the idea is to devour several slices while sipping a beer. Traditional ice cream (homemade) to die for!

Not always easy to put life in this neighbourhood of De, yet just steps from the Share Dieu and the Halles de Lyon. The good idea of Adrian Pendola and Khaled Stud is to have transformed a walk into a modern version, paying tribute to an exceptional woman. Vita, this is the aunt's forename of Adrien. It is this woman, of Sicilian origin, who is discovered in vintage photography on her Vespa adorning the "ristorante" wall. In addition, the à la carte special pizza recipe has been prepared by Thierry. On the side of traditional cuisine, the Sardinian chef, Davide, spoils us with typical Italian dishes, with incursions on his island. We settled in a room in the red and white tiles— the red is very present, but there's also wood— and we start with a few homemade faits, before you get the balance to the pizzas or the dishes with gambas gambas on a rocket bed and soup in the pistou, trofie hetero polpette in salsa all'arrabbiata, orecchie di elefante went Milanese… This is accompanied by a good Italian wine and ends with a tiramisu worthy of the name. A novelty noticed by the Smart.

Located on a charming small square, the Trattoria della Pace is a convenient gastronomic step, close to Piazza Navona. We eat on the thumb or more "seriously".

The room has expanded and is no longer a buchetto (small hole), but you need patience to be able to taste the wood-burning pizza that makes the reputation of the house (the service drags a little in length). This is a very recommended step.

You are in one of the last authentic trattorie of Venice. A historical address, well known and appreciated by the locals. Old wooden chairs and tables, a few paintings here and there... a 1950s tavern atmosphere. Here you can enjoy polpette (meatballs) alone or with spaghetti in tomato sauce and cicchetti to die for. However, the portions are not very copious. The atmosphere is warm and relaxed, the Venetians speak loudly, the service is fast and friendly!
