Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2024. Autentico sapore italiano a Dubai. A beautiful location, with well-finished wooden furnishings, a nice view of the sea outside, and well-spaced tables. Firstly, the raw materials are excellent, from the intensity of the extra virgin olive oil to the flavor of the tomato, the pasta as well as the meats and fish. The work team is led by the skilled hands of Giacomo Amicucci, with a long experience in Italy and abroad. The welcome of the chef alone is an example of the cleanliness of flavours, and is representative of the house. We recommend the Spaghettoni with langoustines, manteca butter, anchovies and marjoram or the black cod with almond sauce, sea urchins and parsley but above all, we definitely recommend the impeccable risotto, made with great technique, true to its Italian identity, but with a contemporary touch that resonates in modernity. The wine list is deep and well-articulated. This is the one and only Tre Forchette-awarded restaurant in Dubai.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. Simply one of the most stimulating, creative and original gastronomic experiences present in our guide, so much to have earned the Restaurant of the Year award in 2019. Federico Zanellato and Michela Boncagni's restaurant is always in constant evolution, innovating by drawing on the best local producers, with an eye to sustainability, very clean and sharp flavors, with incisive contrasts. There is room for experimentation and contamination, from Japan to Australia, with excellent technical bases. Then again, Federico was trained by great chefs in Rome and in Tokyo. There is only a tasting menu offered, but is absolutely worth trying! We close with the wine list designed by Michela, great character, brave choices, and a lot of research between Italy and Australia.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2023. An Elegant place, furnished with colour accents, touches of wood and a whole decorated wall. This successful restaurant is the accomplishment of a dream of Nadia and Giovanni Bruno. The menu features a small list of simply sophisticated dishes beautifully prepared. Top quality ingredients, clean flavours and essence are the hallmark characteristics. We definitely recommend the Red prawn tartar from Mazara with potatoes, vinegar, cucumbers, and lemon cream and caviare or the Fregola with N’duja sausage, seafood, and vegetable crisp. High level service, on the wine list only Italian references, for a quite steep check. Fine dining prices.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. What panoramic view! Don Alfonso 1890 is the perfect place for a romantic dinner in a classy and elegant restaurant. The excellent Carpaccio of Ontario wagyu beef tenderloin served with dijon mustard sauce, balsamic vinegar caviar, piedmont hazelnuts, and fresh wild herbs is an excellent way to start dinner. As for the pasta dish we recommend the Vermicelli allo Sgombro: Vermicelli pasta, carpione style mackerel, sicilian pine nuts, caramelized onions, and alalunga tuna purée or, for the main courses, the bison wrapped in layered Swiss chard, buffalo mozzarella, salsa verde, san marzano tomato and red chili, well cooked and paired. In closing, Neapolitan sfogliatelle and a proper espresso. High class service. We noticed quite an upgrade compared to our previous visit. Villa Sandi Best Contemporary Wine List Award 2025

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. The Cerea family's experience in China is running at full spped, with it's beautiful restaurant overlooking the Bund. We were impressed by the quality of the cuisine since 2019, perfectly guided by young and talented chef Stefano Bacchelli, who has been working with the Cerea family for several years. Beside the great historical dishes, such as the fantastic paccheri alla Vittorio (with tomato sauce) or the egg 'à la egg', we point out the innovative linguine amatripesce with maw and pil pil sauce and the brilliant double duck, plin al fazzoletto (a perfect match between Chinese and Italian traditions) . Service is impeccable and the wine list is well-shaped.  Restaurant of the Year in our Top Italian Restaurants 2021, Da Vittorio is a must when you are in Shangai.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2025. Mario Gamba is a true maestro. Very few can compete in regards of his technical skills that embodies Italian culinary creativity in Germany. As he chooses to use only quality ingredients, his menu is ever-changing. Since 1994 he has been evangelizing the idea that Italian flavors and recipes change every 10 miles. The place is elegant, with a fine Nineties retro ambiance, and courteous service to boot. Emerging from Mario’s style is his training with big-name chefs, such as Gualtiero Marchesi, this is evident in his egg cooking technique, blending rich flavors and aesthetics, such as truffle or a gold leaf. Massimiliano, Mario’s son, is a perfect host and is in charge of the wine selection. And in such difficult years, Mario has been able to make the most of the possibilities offered by the delivery service, proposing even the most articulated and complex preparations with grace and consistency.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. Frank, with a pure instinct and a fierce passion for fine drinking. Transplanted to Paris, young Lucca-born Michele Farnesi combines his experiences with great French chefs with authentic Italian flavors and textures in his mini bistro in Belleville. He loves sharp contrasts, pronounced flavors, and strong contrasts: in a nutshell, the taste of challenge. Distinctive and well-balanced land-sea flavor combination, the dishes are superb, even if showcasing marriages of a great deal of ingredients. The wine list is taken care of by Federico and his hard work, you'll also find the Dilia La Cave wine shop in rue Etienne Dolet. Direct import and excellent research on small producers and age-worthy wines. We believe this is the best Italian-style bistrot in town.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2023. From Rome to Nice. Epiro has opened in the center of the Eternal City in 2013, and since 2019 this cosy bistro boasts a new location in France. The format is pretty much the same: few recipes, fresh ingredients, perfect cooking times, and an original list of natural wines. Don’t miss the amatriciana, the homemade fresh stuffed pasta or the mouthwatering risottos. On the table there are dishes that are surprising in their contrasts, with a great articulation of flavours, clean, traditional in style with a twist. Few seats, a smart wine list(natural oriented), and a professional, yet informal service complete the package. Seriously good.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. A few steps away from the Champs-Élysées and the Arc du Triomphe, Il Carpaccio brings Italian cuisine to a fine and classy restaurant inside the luxurious Le Royal Manceau Hotel in Paris. At the helm the talented duo Alessandra Del Favero-Oliver Piras, after its excellent work at 'Aga' in the Dolomites, north Italy. On the menu are high-quality fresh products and recipes that reveal culinary expertise and respect for the raw materials. Comprehensive wine list, yet a bit on the dear site. Emerging Restaurant of the Year in our Top Italian Restaurant 2023.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. If we were asked to bring home one Italian chef, we would put Giovanni Passerini at the top of our list. Originally from Rome, Passerini has been in Paris for 12 years and has trained in some of the city's best bistros. At Rino, for example, there were loyal fans who would drive thousands of miles just to taste his brilliant dishes. Then, in 2016, he opened his own restaurant. Essential, with a contemporary cuisine, where the spotlight remains on the ingredients. Housemade pasta is a must-try, while the Roman-style tripe is far better than 99,99% of the Restaurants in the Eternal City. Excellent value for money lunch menu, in the evening diners can share generous portions of meat from a daily-changing menu: if you find the lamb loin or the pigeon, don't miss them! The wine list is in keeping with Paris' natural wine wave, boasting a fine by-the-glass selection as well. In 2022 Giovanni opened Passerina, an exciting wine bar (con cucina), next to the restaurant.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2023. A little gem of a bistro in the heart of Bordeaux. Vintage chairs and wooden tables help create the warm, salon-like vibe. The couple Johanna and Giovanni Pidreddu work in perfect unison in the kitchen rendering a fine and never boring top cuisine. The chef’s welcome is delightful, dishes are sophisticated and vibrant and betray phenomenal character, flavour and presentation. The stuffed pastas are always excellent, even on the take-away menu dishes such as cannelloni au brocciu (a typical Corsican dairy product) with spinach and parmigiano confirm the quality of the work. When in season, do not miss the creations featuring white Alba truffles, perfectly employed. Monday to Saturday the lunch menu is a steal. The genuine cuisine is paired with an amazing wine list designed by Johanna, featuring many small Italian wine producers who work in healthy fashion to make fine wines that perfectly work with the cuisine.  A wine list made with love, great personality and character, full of artisanal producers, classics but also lesser known denominations. There are many brilliant choices for a wine list that exudes curiosity and research: a jewel. 2020 Wine List of the Year.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. The heart and owner of the restaurant is chef Emanuele Pollini. Born in Cesena, he opened the restaurant in 2023, after a long journey in some of the best Italian cuisines. The menu brings the chef's national cuisine tradition back to Notting Hill, with dishes with a Mediterranean flavor created with seasonal products of the highest quality. Italian cuisine is filtered by the creativity of the chef who enriches it with a personal touch making it modern and traditional at the same time. Everything about the restaurant, from the atmosphere to the service, is aimed at giving an authentic experience of a high-level Italian restaurant. For us it deserves maximum points. Three Forks.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. Here's where to feel pampered and reassured, thanks to an immediately pleasant cuisine that sources the best ingredients in the world. Bombana is more than a certainty, starting from the level of unparalleled hospitality. From the menu we point out the Tuna tartare, citrus and tofu emulsion and caviar, or the Cavatelli ragù and sea urchin. In the right season, you can not miss the very classic tagliolini with white truffle, the house trademark, with superb truffles shaved directly on the plate. The great strength is cooking timings, textures are perfect. The wine list is increasingly Italian and effective, with choices of character that exponentially favour native grapes and artisan productions.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. Such a brilliant new opening. We consider Antimo Maria Merone one of the most talented Italian chefs abroad, as already proved during his very positive experience at 8½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana in Macao and Hong Kong, where last September he opened his own restaurant in Central. Estro looks like an elegant and refined Neapolitan living room, pronounced and clean flavours featuring just the right amount of creativity. The highlights? Langoustine with almonds, turnip and capers, or the superb Mafalde pasta in ragù genovese of Montoro onions and short rib. The service is attentive and professional, the wine list shows plenty of character. Estro fully deserves our New Opening of the Year Award.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. Important changes for one of the most panoramic restaurants in the world. We are on the 102nd floor of the Ritz-Carlton, Sicilian chef Angelo Aglianò, whom we already enjoyed at his Locanda dell'Angelo, replaced Pino Lavarra. And the change of course is certainly evident in the flavours and combinations. Choosing à la carte, we highly recommend the reginelle pasta with sweetbread ragù, mushrooms and Concase tomatoes, as well as the savoury brusiate (typical Sicilian pasta) with sea urchin, wasabi and turnip tops. Among the mains, we appreciated the sea bass in nepitella with Jerusalem artichoke and mullet roe. Prestigious wine list, with some avant-garde references that are not easy to find in the big hotels in Asia. Service in context with the rest.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. In the global landscape of Italian dining, few establishments manage to combine international luxury, culinary identity, and culinary precision with the effortless elegance of Il Ristorante Niko Romito , located within the Bulgari Resort in Bali. This achievement is the result of the work of Chef Francesca Stabile (with the support of Alessandro Mazzali, executive chef of the entire resort), who has interpreted Niko Romito’s culinary philosophy with sensitivity and precision, earning the Three Forks , the highest accolade from Gambero Rosso’s Top Italian Restaurants guide, from the very first review. Here, Italy is not simply replicated, but translated into a contemporary language, capable of engaging with one of the most fascinating places on the planet without losing its authenticity. Francesca Stabile ’s cuisine stands out for its elegance, clean flavors, and an extraordinary ability to place the raw ingredients at the center. Each dish appears simple only at first glance: behind it lies a meticulous study of techniques, textures, and flavor intensities that deliver a refined yet immediate experience. The menu follows the path laid out by Romito, characterized by subtlety, precision, and depth, highlighting exceptional Italian ingredients alongside the finest local produce. The result is a cohesive, modern, and distinctive culinary offering, supported by impeccable service and a wine cellar capable of intelligently complementing the dining experience. The setting adds to the experience, making it even more memorable: one of Bali’s most spectacular locations, nestled between the ocean, tropical gardens, and contemporary architecture. But it is above all in the dishes themselves that the reason for this prestigious recognition becomes clear. The restaurant demonstrates how Italian haute cuisine can reach the highest standards even beyond national borders, while maintaining its identity intact.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. In Bali, when it comes to Italian haute cuisine, the name Maurizio Bombini inevitably comes up. Long before the island became one of Asia’s most dynamic culinary destinations, the chef from Puglia had already recognized the potential of this corner of Indonesia, playing a key role in shaping its culinary history. Today, with Mauri—a restaurant bearing his nickname and embodying his most authentic vision—comes the well-deserved recognition of three forks from Gambero Rosso’s Top Italian Restaurants guide. Mauri is much more than a restaurant: it is the gastronomic manifesto of a chef who has chosen to tell the story of his native Puglia and Italy through the language of contemporary haute cuisine. Born on the shores of the Adriatic and raised in his family’s restaurant, Bombini built an international career before arriving in Bali, where he led prestigious luxury kitchens (including the Bulgari Resort and the Ritz Carlton in Bali) and, in 2018, decided to launch a project entirely his own. His cuisine is elegant yet never cold, technical yet always accessible. At its core are absolute respect for the ingredient, seasonality, and a constant pursuit of balance. The restaurant’s Apulian roots are evident everywhere: in the fresh pasta, the extra-virgin olive oil, the Mediterranean influences, and that philosophy of simplicity which, in Bombini’s hands, is transformed into refinement. Alongside the finest Italian ingredients, the menu features carefully selected local produce, often sourced from producers in Balisano with whom the restaurant maintains a long-standing partnership. The dining experience is crafted with almost obsessive attention to detail. The open kitchen, the limited number of seats, the precise yet warm service, and a top-tier wine cellar all contribute to creating a gastronomic journey that manages to be both exclusive and welcoming.

Tre Gamberi (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2020. Editor’s choice. This is where the best tortellini with heavy cream in the world can be had. We are in one of the most beloved bastions of the everyday, true and radical culinary tradition. The trait that distinguishes Franco Cimini is the authenticity of flavours coming from excellent ingrendients (Parmigiano Reggiano, butter, ricotta, double cream, beef and pork, all from a certified supply chain). Theses are mostly supplied by the family farm. Starters are already great with a stellar round of cured meats, with fresh ricotta and then with offal: fried brains, onion gratin filled with rabbit livers, veal sweetbreads glazed with their jus (perfect). Among the pastas, the house specialties are many, starting from the tagliatelle with courtyard ragout, the delicious tortellini with double cream, green nettle lasagna with ancient Bolognese sauce or the creamy risotto are true stand outs. Going further, the meat cooked on the burning embers of the open fireplace (pork chops with its crackling, Florentine steak and much more). Sweet endings in substance include crème caramel, hot zabaglione with shortcrust biscuits and pastry cream gelato drowned in Centerba bitter. The wine list is not very wide but just and fun for the choice of the best combinations with the dishes. Anna and Riccardo, furthermore, animate the dining room and give advice to guests with competence, courtesy and familiarity. The osteria is also an inn and with a well-kept summer garden.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. For most restaurants, including high-end ones, it was difficult to get the stoves burning again, to get staff back to their stations, to choose the right food for "restarting". La Peca was no exception, of course, even if a few days after reopening everything was running perfectly, as if there hadn't been any lockdown at all. There were no secrets, nor was being active with delivery and take away service enough to return to previous levels prior to reopening. Their success was the result of a constant, truly daily commitment to keeping a friendly, territorial (but certainly not run-of-the-mill) restaurant, a venue where everything from the decor to the smile of the wait staff conveys composure and dedication, operating at high level. Season after season, Nicola Portinari (who's supported by his brother Pierluigi, who handles their great desserts, including outstanding ice cream and sorbets) continues to churn out dishes of superb balance, often beautiful to the eye, in which ingredients are combined in highly pleasant ways. To get an idea of how contrasting flavors are superbly resolved, see the exotic, toasty sardines stuffed and fried in acid, or the cappelletti with blue goat's cheese, melon soup and balsamic herbs, or the BBQ pork pluma, Good-King-Henry (wild spinach), anchovies and paprika chips. Indeed, Portinari's ideas are such that his menu of over 30 dishes would make the characters in a Rabelais novel (who eat anything and everything) green with envy. Consequently, we suggest considering the excellent Mare e Terra tasting menu (€165 and €155) perhaps asking for four more "suggestions" for an extra €40, or, if you aren't particularly hungry, limit yourself to the Giorno per Giorno (4 dishes at €95).

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. In Italy it's rare that going to a truly great restaurant means detaching completely from the surrounding area. But this is the case in Sarmeola di Rubano (on the outskirts of Padua), where you pull off the busy State Road 11, park and enter Le Calandre passing first through Il Calandrino (which is, among other things, a very pleasant bistrot in its own right). Moving to the back you enter a "multisensory" dining room that's fantastically illuminated and adorned with a characterful mise en place: tables, glasses, cutlery, lamps inspired by the Alajmo brothers' own ideas and produced in collaboration with Italian artisan craftsmen The goal is to take guests on a veritable journey of the senses. To experience it, there's a nice rule that hasn't changed: three tasting menus (each €250), with the Classico, the Raf and the Max battling to be the best (ultimately, it's impossible to choose, even if it's understood that the first includes certain signature dishes). The common thread is Massimiliano Alajmo's ability as an "illusionist", a pure talent who at the age of 47 hasn't lost the pleasure of childhood, of discovery. Beyond the extraordinary aesthetics of the dishes, which play on intense colors and often surprising textures, he continues to explore his homeland of Italy(increasingly at the center of his cuisine) and the world. His dishes draw inspiration from everywhere, the Renaissance, contemporary and futuristic cuisine, but always with a keen eye towards delighting the palate. We mention only one from the new repertoire: risotto with coffee distillate, caper powder, anchovy bottarga and white truffle. An absolute masterpiece. You can also create your own menu, mixing and matching dishes for €150, €190 and €220, depending on the options chosen.

L'Osteria del Becco has been the first one in town – not exactly an informal osteria in the elegant Polanco neighborhood – boasting a unique wine caveau with one of the most precious wine collections worldwide. Italian wines alone count 40,000 labels with incredibly deep vintages: from legendary reserve wines of Biondi Santi from the 1950s to post-World War II Monfortino and many other gems made by the best Italian winemakers, offering vintages that are hard to find even in Italy. For these reasons, it earned the Wine List of the Year in 2022 . The wine is best enjoyed alongside a classic cuisine, that proposes many northern Italian specialties. The service matches the context and the high prices. It is possible to dine in the charming wine cellar prior to reservation.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. In the Netherlands, Pianeta Terra has established itself as a leading reference point for Italian specialties, thanks in part to its connection with the Slow Food Chefs’ Alliance. The menu highlights dishes marked with the Alliance’s logo, showcasing a contemporary Italian cuisine deeply rooted in a respect for land and sea. Guests can enjoy organic wines, carefully selected ingredients, and pasta made in-house using traditional methods, but when in doubt, choose the 4 or 5 courses chef’s menu to fully experience the kitchen’s philosophy. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and relaxed.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. This family restaurant opened in 1988 and has delivered since the first day the taste of Italy. You may start with two fine slices of prosciutto and buffalo mozzarella or a bite of proper grilled sausages. The pastas are always cooked to perfection and when the season makes them available, truffles are the true and intense ones, rightly proposed in the most classic ways: topping tagliolini pasta, and fried eggs alike. Among the meats, the lamb certainly stands out, together with the juicy venison, or a remarkable selection of cheeses, as well as a choice of extra virgin olive oils that are very hard to find in Italy such as very old balsamic vinegar. Domenico is an expert chef, Claudio Mancini is an excellent host and the same can be said of Giancarlo Clark, sommelier, and director of the cellar containing only delicious Italian wines, with 2,000 bottles, boasting meticulous skill and care. Italian cuisine around the world needs restaurants like this. In 2020 Mancini won the Guardian of Tradition Award, today we still believe this is the best Italian restaurant in Sweden. Don’t forget to try the homemade hazelnut gelato before leaving.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2025. We have been following Denis Lucchi, Lombard chef in the kitchen, from the beginning of his work at Buona Terra, housed in a beautiful colonial building. Denis offers an authorial cuisine, mixing Italian and international ingredients with a twist. Among the last recipes, we point out the seared langoustine served in a sauce of anchovies or the classic fusilli cacio e pepe with sea urchin.There are no weaknesses, the menu is constantly evolving, and always up to the highest standards. The wine list is impressive, especially for lovers of mature wines, thanks to Gabriele Rizzardi, expert sommelier, who built up a superb cantina with many different vintages and small artisans rarely found in the area that will make any wine enthusiast happy.

Tre Forchette (3/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2026. Located within the renovated Dusit Thani Bangkok, one of Southeast Asia’s most prestigious hotels, Cannubi by Bombana now stands as one of the absolute pinnacles of Italian dining in Thailand. A recent venture, yet already perfectly refined, it bears the signature of Umberto Bombana and follows in the tradition of the most authentic and refined international Italian haute cuisine. The cuisine of Executive Chef Andrea Susto, who trained within the Bombana universe and arrived in Bangkok after working at the group’s restaurants in China, tells the story of a contemporary Italy that never forgets its roots. Most ingredients come from the Italian Peninsula, the recipes respect tradition, and the execution is always precise, clean, and measured. Among the appetizers, the magnificent Culatello Spigaroli stands out, served with 36-month Parmigiano Reggiano and sweet-and-sour vegetables—a showcase of the finest Italian cured meats. The Sicilian red shrimp carpaccio with Oscietra caviar, jalapeño, and basil oil is also exceptional, seamlessly bridging the Mediterranean and Asian culinary traditions. The first course section is a true tribute to Italian pasta. The Gentile gnocchetti with slow-braised beef ragù and Provolone del Monaco fondue represent the most indulgent and comforting side of the restaurant’s cuisine, while the homemade chitarra with Alpine cheese fondue and black truffle plays on richness and aromatic intensity. For those seeking a more regional and contemporary take, the Riserva San Massimo risotto with Yunnan mushrooms and buffalo ricotta demonstrates how ingredients from different worlds can coexist harmoniously. The main courses showcase the kitchen’s mastery in working with raw ingredients, as evidenced by the roasted beef tenderloin with braised cheek, morel mushrooms, and brown stock—a dish of great depth of flavor.

Together, they opened Clara, a restaurant located in a quiet residential area near the Sathon district. The venue stands out for its attention to detail in both decor and style, thanks to the collaboration with designer P. Tendercool and tattoo artist Tantai. The dining room layout offers various experiences: in addition to traditional tables, guests can choose to sit at the chef’s table, which seats ten, or at the kitchen counter on high stools to immerse themselves in the action. Chef Martena fuses the culinary traditions of his homeland with innovative techniques, incorporating top-tier local produce and exclusive European ingredients chosen with care.

Chef Suzette Gresham and Giancarlo Paterlini’s Nob Hill restaurant has very few Italian restaurant contenders in the US. Flavors are vivid and articulate, and the experience is highly satisfying thanks also to fine quality service that’s graceful and ultra-professional. The wine list? In 2018 we awarded it as Wine Cellar of the Year, today it still displays an incredible variety, but also for the well-written, organized, very accurate wine list, with correct mark-ups given the context.

The key to the success of this restaurant is using family recipes to deliver the taste of tradition with a modern twist and selecting the best seasonal ingredients. The Vitello Tonnato was delightfully cooked, and it is really a must to try as suggested by the menu, and the Nonna's peperoni ripieni (bell peppers stuffed with ground veal, eggplant, Parmigiano Reggiano and breadcrumbs) reminded us of the South of Italy. As for the beverage, it is worth spending some time on the wine list: from wines by the glass to bottles and big formats, the labels are well selected and range from all over Italy. If your a wine lover, you are in for a treat.

Antonio Mermolia is doing great in the restaurant owned by Marche native chef Fabio Trabocchi, keeping up the standards of quality and creativity. We already appreciated the work of Antonio in Miami where he pushed Le Sirenuse restaurant to new highs. Fiola Washington opened in 2011 in the Penn Quarter, an elegant venue that showcases ingredients of the highest level, be it extra virgin olive oil, cheese, the finesse of stuffed pasta, or meats. The context is full-on fine dining: an elegant and refined atmosphere where the overall quality is very high. The first appetizers are seriously good. Among the signature dishes, we point out the scampo alla romana, the acquerello risotto with cacio cheese and lemon or the perfectly cooked Colorado lamb. Save room for dessert, Italian pastry chef Claudia Barrovecchio is a true talent, her interpretation of tiramisù is simply brilliant. The wine pairings are brilliants thanks to the hard work of the sommelier Said Al-Banna who manages a very extensive wine list with remarkable recharges. Antonio Mermolia is the Chef of the Year in our Top Italian Restaurants 2023.

La Devozione is Giuseppe Di Martino’s latest creation, the perfect combination of first-rate ingredients combined by Italian Chef Alessio Rossetti, who has been working in some of the finest restaurants in the Big Apple. The pasta presentation at the chef table is a unique experience that involves all the senses. Here pasta is the one and only protagonist. Equally good is A Tavola, a more casual concept next to the Oval, with à la carte menu. Here we had a fantastic La Devozione (spaghetto al pomodoro just as it should always be), and some mesmerizing Candele Spezzate with Neapolitan ragù. Lastly, a comprehensive wine list that boasts many rare and cult vintage wines. The professional service completes the picture. Stil hungry? You can grab some spaghetti to go and walk around the Chelsea Market.

All seasoned with impeccable service and a wine list that includes the best Italian labels. In short, an extraordinary example of Italian haute cuisine in the world. The Three Forks and the Chef of the Year award are more than well deserved.

The ambiance of the restaurant is elegant, cozy and warm, and from the kitchen come dishes that tell the story of the Emilia Romagna region. Noteworthy is the wine list with many labels and vintages from Italian producers that invite you to take the time to choose at least one bottle, when even two.

After opening Torno Subito in Dubai in 2018, Massimo Bottura moved across the ocean to open Torno Subito Miami , bringing to the United States the concept inspired by the dolce vita of the Riviera Romagnola, with its colourful and light-hearted imagery as told by Fellini. Italian flavours, traditional recipes that oozes with a modern and fresh twist. We would like to point out a dish that literally captivated us: Feelin' green.

He directs the kitchen of a restaurant in a fantastic location: Filseck castle. He knows how to "contaminate" Italian cuisine with a variety of raw materials that have never been tested before. Daniele's masterpiece is the wild Mediterranean turbot au naturel sous vide at 58°C in which the variations and consistencies of cauliflower are the ultimate expression of creativity.

On our visit, we noticed high-quality ingredients, clean, yet not very distinctive flavors, as well as the by-the-glass wine selection. In short, we expected more. However, given the chef's talent, we are pretty sure that we'll change our minds.

The setting is elegant, housed in the Intercontinental Hotel. Among the appetizers we recommend the Roman style puntarelle (crispy chicory shoots dressed with vinegar, capers and anchovies) and in particular the stuffed pastas that highlight technique and good articulation of flavours as in the case of the veal-stuffed cappelletti. Among the mains, there's a good hand on the fish and seafood, delicately treated with Mediterranean flavours and cooking methods.

And it's the lake, or rather the daily catch (no longer the flourishing catches of the past, but still very much present on the menu) and the market that decide the dishes, which revolve around trout, sardines and whitefish, the basis for pasta sauces, roasts and fish skewers.

Diego tends to their rich wine cellar, while Livia sees to it that guests get the best possible service in their comfortable dining room.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A manifest originality (perhaps too much) characterizes the 16th-century villa that is both a luxury hotel and an exhibition space for modern and contemporary works of art. Within we also find a top-notch gourmet restaurant whose style and decor are in keeping with the hotel. It's here that Mattia Bianchi, a native son of Veneto who returned home after six years in London and Australia, authors dishes that bring together his broad-based international experiences with the flavors of his youth and Valpolicella. Lately main courses prevail: complicated elements, select, carefully prepared ingredients all skillfully combined by Chef Bianchi. Two tasting menus are available: €95 and €120. High-quality wines. Precise and attentive service.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Once upon a time ... Cera may have a long, glorious history, but it has since revamped and relaunched. Now, more than ever, the restaurant is seizing the moment. The fresh, welcoming dining room, the veranda. Wide-open spaces, a quiet atmosphere accentuated by the "light-footed" and young wait staff (but extremely on the ball). And, in the kitchen, a not-ostentatious cuisine prevails, the result of the knowledge and thoughts of a chef and owner who is as cultured and attentive as he is likely to shun the limelight. Influences come from throughout the region, from the relaxed Veronese countryside to the seaside, by way of a series of mediations that, nevertheless, express the flavors of Veneto, a large territory where the Mediterranean makes its presence felt. The cold spaghetti with stargazer, prawns, Sicilian pistachio sauce and capers is a delicious and perfect example. Among their tributes to local gastronomy (the Laguna and the "risotto di go"), the amberjack with grilled beans draws on a revived, amusing combination of ice cream with salted honey, sea water and chamomile. To accompany it all there's a rich, thoughtfully constructed, dynamic and well-managed wine cellar. In short, a rediscovery. We'll be looking forward to further, noteworthy achievements.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. For generations, Antica Trattoria Fattori has offered guests a friendly atmosphere. You can't help but feel at ease at this warm, welcoming eatery. Diners are pampered with simple, well-made recipes, pulled from that part of the rich Venetian repertoire that favors meats prepared with good technique. Their fresh pasta is homemade, and the sauces change according to the season and availability of ingredients. Hence the menu includes everything from tortelli with butter and sage to gnocchi with cod, tagliatelle, polenta and more. As a main course there's guinea fowl, duck, beef fillet ... there are some real beauties! It all finishes with cheeses or sweets. Their wine cellar centers on regional producers. The service is managed with attentiveness and grace.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. The small terrace on the Grand Canal is a dream setting for enjoying Antinoo's, but the elegant rooms inside, which also overlook the canal, are no less evocative. Situated in one of Venice's great hotels and popular with international stars, Antinoo's offers diners the chance to enjoy wholly Mediterranean seafood and meat dishes. Giancarlo Bellino and his brigade work with high-quality ingredients, expertly authoring elegant, pure dishes: scampi in saor; lasagnetta with duck ragout, saffron and crusco pepper; sea bass with the flavors of the Venetian "barena" (seaweed, glasswort and fish broth). Hospitality and service are perfectly in line with the caliber of the restaurant. A wine list that will satisfy.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. With all due respect for the peaceful borgo and nearby Berici Hills, people come to Barbarano to dine at Giuliano Baldessari's Aqua Crua. Baldessari deserves credit for not having budged an inch, even if forging new paths hasn't always been easy. He continues on the same route—create, uncreate, recreate—neither following trends nor trying to set them. Defining his as avant-garde or haute cuisine is an understatement. Behind his courageous aesthetic (some dishes are so ugly as to be beautiful—think Mugaritz) and the depth of research around a recipe's main ingredient, there's the need to continually go beyond, to satisfy the chef himself, first and foremost. That said, the daily commitment (another plus, as it's hard to find the classics) has led to one of the most interesting series of dishes in modern Italian cuisine. It's all accompanied by an excellent wine cellar and service that feels like it's on a mission on behalf of the chef. And even if Baldessari risks annoying the customer by promising "a journey through folly so as to regain stability in flavor", in reality he has such an expert, Italian hand that any provocation becomes enjoyable. Tasting menus at €100, €120 and €150.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Locally-sourced ingredients (whenever possible), drawing on trusted and close suppliers; loyalty to the area's classic products, from bigoli to cod or "sopa coada"; skillful revisitations of less usual ingredients (see the risotto pheasant); well-established family management and adept hands in the kitchen. These are the secrets to the well-deserved and enduring success of Brunello, a restaurant that's simple in appearance only, supported by a good wine cellar, a cheerful hospitality that's as warm as the fireplace, and service that's as casual as it is effective.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. It's clear that Giancarlo Perbellini was already an established chef before the 2015 opening of his 'home' in Piazza San Zeno. But since the founding of this concept restaurant, unprecedented in the country, he's spawned a veritable network, adding locations both in the city and beyond. Six years later (including the recent, difficult period) Casa Perbellini continues to prove its excellence. Here, with the support of sous-chef Simone Tricarico, the Veronese chef revels in his work, churning out first-rate dishes for twenty or so guests. There's never been a better time for a visit. Enjoy the "Assaggi" ("tastes") menu at €175, which strikes the perfect alchemy with almost completely Italian fare—apparently normal recipes exhibit unprecedented balance, like lobster, potato and oxalis, or mezze maniche pasta with garlic, oil, chilli pepper, razor clams and parsley. A good vegetarian menu is also available. Two super professionals make sure that the experience is fluid yet not too formal: Barbara Manoni and sommelier Mauro Matta, who knows how to identify the right wine from a rich, sophisticated cellar that includes local and international selections.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A long, award-winning "career" as one of the area's most prominent restaurants, together with a menu that nicely covers seasonal options (on a rotating basis, obviously), a list of classics and an "open" menu that allows guests to choose from the dishes available, all make Casin a sure bet in the minds of its patrons. There's everything from hanger steak (beef diaphragm), a dish that's as courageous as it is tasty, to grilled ox heart with green asparagus "al caciopepe" (reinvented and topped with smoked pepper and radish), to the complex rooster broth with licorice, porcini mushrooms, roe deer biltong, rhubarb and pumpkin flower, to the delicious hazelnut cake with rosolio and gianduia mousse. A solid wine list and experienced, courteous service increases the pleasure of a meal here.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. The setting alone would be enough to win you over: the allure of the hotel, the unique charm of what you can see and almost touch from here, and of everything that dwells in its exquisite interiors. But then when you consider the cuisine—well traversed, continually honed and open to savory journeys of "Venetian taste"—things only get better. From the black cracotte with amberjack in tartare to the exquisite "hand of Buddha" (an icon of high-profile pastry) and the not-unusual but always tasty cacio e pepe with raw prawns, everything is as it should be. The wine cellar is would you expect (markups included, naturally). There are also mixed drinks and aperitifs, with the charm of the canal doing more than any snack could.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Situated in the green hills near Soave, Corte Verzè is a farm-to-table eatery where almost all the ingredients used are produced in-house. The whole family, from owner Giorgio (who supervises) to his son Ilario (chef), warmly welcomes you to this small oasis of peace. In addition to delicious food and splendid panoramic views, you can enjoy their wellness area, shop (where house products are sold) and for those who want to extend their stay, comfortable rooms as well (complete with fireplaces), making for an all-round experience in nature. There's a fixed menu that changes with the period, including home-made pastas and traditional local recipes (try the risotto). House wines and more. Booking required.

The restaurant is situated at 2200 meters elevation, in the spectacular Giau Pass of the Dolomites. The comfortable dining area features large windows, which offer a splendid view of the mountains. The service runs smoothly and Luigi Dariz's cuisine, rich in research and flavors, continues to offer interesting moments of inspiration. Try the wild garlic potato mousse with wild celery oil, chanterelles and flowers, or the concentrated beef broth with toasted hay and passatelli, or the Giau mountain smoked duck breast with red cabbage "alla birra" and fir extract. Rich wine list, not only regional selections.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Da Fiore is one of Venice's most well-known restaurants—a picture-perfect experience, really, if you think of its most coveted table, situated on a balcony overlooking a canal (it needs to be booked well in advance). Inside there's the classic dining area where for four decades the Martin family have welcomed guests, especially those in search of traditional seafood. There's not too much in the way of creativity, but the dishes are on point and the ingredients superb: a mixture of raw food, creamed cod, bigoli in sauce, crispy octopus, and mixed fried fish from the market. The Venetian-style liver is right up there. Tasting menus are available at €150 and €170. Their deep wine cellar includes important bottles from Italy and France. There's also a serious menu of grappas, Cognacs and whiskeys. Service that's up to the task.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Active for over a century (and now on its fourth generation of family), Da Gigetto represents an obligatory stop for wine lovers and gourmets who find themselves passing through the area. It's an elegant, polished venue set in a beautiful landscape near the Alpine foothills. Its several rooms are all united by an enjoyable, rustic charm and careful mise en place, made possible thanks to attentive service. The kitchen is overseen by Marco Bortolini, who offers a menu that interprets the territory through technique, creativity and the use of local ingredients: green and white asparagus savarin with cashew cream and egg mimosa, white asparagus flan with greens and tomato coulis, pappardelle stuffed with porcini mushrooms on a sorana ragù, duck tortelli with light butter and fine herbs, beef fillet in red wine with chips and raisins. Accompanying it all is a cellar that's beautiful to look at and wide ranging, stocked with thousands of bottles from all over the world.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A solid and historic piece of traditional gastronomy in Padua, Da Nane della Giulia is a centrally located eatery affirmed over time (est. 1870) thanks in large part to a mostly loyal and local customer base. If you were to write a short manual on traditional regional cuisine (Padua in particular), very little to nothing would be lacking: "fasoi", bigoli, cabbage, folpetti, soppressa, cheeses, cod ... and the list could go on and on. One area that Da Nane della Giulia stands out for is in drawing on ingredients from trusted, local markets and shops (an approach they call "chilometro vero"). Their best wines hail from the greater regional production zone, that is, the area once known as "the Venezie".

As soon as you walk through the shop door you're struck by the bounty of excellence on display, foods from all over and superb wines (not to mention the meat counter). That alone is enough to understand the excellence behind all the food served in the room at the back. It's the passion of the Damini brothers that makes the difference: quiet Giorgio who oversees an increasingly convincing menu, and the warm Gian Pietro who 'pampers' their guests, both old and new, offering well-known wines as well as local bottles, all with class and competence. If in the minds of their devotees they're the best restaurant-butcher shop in Italy, in substance Damini continues to move slowly towards a broader, more complete vision. It's all thanks to Giorgio, a first-class chef who authors precise dishes, like goat and bay leaf tortellini or pork, aubergines and almonds. Hence the idea of three surprise menus (5, 8 and 11 dishes) as an alternative to the classic tasting menu and ideal for unrepentant carnivores. In any case, you'll love it.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. It takes time to get to Dolada. There are a number of hairpin bends and in winter the conditions (sometimes) invite you to stay at home. But the journey is always worthwhile, both because the position allows you to admire all the surrounding beauty and because of the uniqueness of the food on offer. Dolada has excelled for decades now: furnishings, mise en place and glassware create a sophisticated atmosphere. There's great respect for the territory, but without being self-referential or reactionary. Two menus ("grande" and "Classici") allow diners to discover the very personal vision of Riccardo De Prà, who has followed in the footsteps of his father Enzo (one of Venetian cuisine's original masters) and never stops evolving: pigeon and stream trout, snails and penduline, strips of dried mutton, delicious desserts. A wide-ranging wine list and great service, overseen by Rossana (Riccardo's mother). And if you stay overnight in one of their seven rooms, you can enjoy breakfast the following morning.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A shop that sells house products, an eco-friendly bakery powered by agricultural waste, the restaurant and farm. Like a sweet and welcoming mother, Conca d'Oro provides everything a guest could need, but it's not just a mother to its guests, as the farm manages a social inclusion project for individuals with different types of disabilities. The menu depends on whatever the teams working in the fields and bakery (including pastries) bring to the kitchen from one day to the next, following the rhythms of nature and the seasons, and the freshness of the ingredients used, all while being attentive to nutrition. Ample space is given to the vegetable garden (bruschettas, purees), savory first courses (lasagna, bigoli) and guinea fowl or "veggie" burgers as main courses. Select "natural" wines to accompany your meal. Smiles and courtesy.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. One of the best (and few) Emilian restaurants outside the region is situated in the Vicenza city center (200 kilometers from Modena, as the sign says), in a pleasant setting with a few tables outside. The Roncaccioli family don't skimp on quality: their products hail from selected suppliers, the pasta prepared daily at home, and the region's best wines light up their cellar. The menu isn't original but will deliver plenty of satisfaction: prosciuttos, salami and culatelli di vaglia served with crescentine and fried gnocco. Then there's tortellini and tagliatelle with meat sauce, raw meat dishes and house stews. The "Via Emilia" tasting menu clocks in at €38. Competent and passionate service.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Situated inside a museum of Roman archeology, in a unique and evocative setting (a bonus), Gellius continues to prove one of Treviso's most successful restaurants. The mise en place alone makes it clear that every element of the experience is carefully attended to. Chef Alessandro Breda's menu, which features both seafood and meat dishes, is the result of continued research and a desire to amaze through unexpected combinations and games of gastronomic nuance. It's all carried out with naturalness, a delicate touch and persuasive combinations, without excess or extravagance. A couple of examples? The cold "Bloody Mary" noodles with oysters and char roe, or venison sirloin in a casserole with cardoncelli and roasted potatoes. The house seafood appetizer is also very popular. Ancient Rome also inspired the names of their tasting menus: Quinque (five courses for €85) and Septem (seven for €110). Well-built wine list. Professional, efficient service. The same, intriguing atmosphere can be found in the Nyù bistro, which offers simpler, express dishes. For even faster and more informal stops, there's the lounge bar.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Enrico Bartolini is a man who rarely lets himself go, and so when he does he should be carefully listened to. When speaking of Donato Ascani, the chef to whom he entrusted his Venetian restaurant, he always says the same thing, "He's extremely good. He prepares incredible dishes, I don't know how he does it". Indeed, the 30 year old from Fiuggi authors food rich in personality, combining the fundamentals of a great chef with an indisputable talent. It's clear that he immediately felt comfortable in Venice, starting with its ingredients. So trust his "free-hand" tasting menu (with the nice name "Jazz of nature and origins"): ten uncontrived courses for €230. The other two menus pay homage to local ingredients ("Arte, orti e laguna" for €160) and Glam classics (€180, the most "Bartolinian" of the range), like acquadelle in sauces and the excellent risotto with juniper, rabbit kidney and chicory water. The classy atmosphere (bonus) makes everything easier, but one has to be worthy of the prestigious, 16th-century Palazzo Venart, situated just a stone's throw from the Grand Canal and endowed with an incredible summer garden. The service, cellar and kitchen all are.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. They say it's only at 40 that you really start having fun. Here at Desco (est. 1981) passion, a sense of identity and play have never been lacking. And the lockdown months were a precious chance to experiment with fine dining experiences at home, like delivery in vacuum-sealed jars and Esko's Asian sauce accompanied by ramen, noodles and Rizzo-style udon, all while sticking by the motto of serving "who we are with and where we are", as chef Matteo Rizzo (to whom the still-active owner, Elia, entrusted the kitchen) loves to put it. The result is local, classical ingredients and proven technique made fresh by flashes and experiences deriving from Matteo's many experiences abroad, both while training and during prolific "side-by-side collaborations" with colleagues from all over the world. But here they've never lost sight of flavor—see their sourdough loaf, hand-made breadsticks, and buckwheat crackers served with mascarpone and gorgonzola foam at the beginning of your meal. And then there are the seasonal menus, with features like sea bass, peaches and forest undergrowth, or green curry sauce to accompany cow's tongue. And finally, there are their pre-Opera menus (3 or 5 courses, available from 6.30 pm onwards). Their deep and wide-ranging wine cellar is very well stocked when it comes to bubbles, but there's much more as well.

The change of generation complete, Nicolò Bonaccorsi now tends to the stoves that were once his father's, all without forgetting the family teachings, drawing on up-to-date techniques and the pursuit of subtle combinations of foods. The menu, which comprises both meat and seafood, showcases poignant dishes like prawns with leeks, smoked herring creme brûle and bitter herbs, or tubetti pasta in goby sauce ("gò" in Venice), or guinea fowl breast and thigh with a chamomile purée. The desserts and wine list, rich in celebrated names, are also well thought out. Elegant and sophisticated atmosphere. Professional service. The three tasting menus (which range from €100 to 130) allow you to reduce cost while getting a comprehensive overview of the food on offer. A weekday lunch menu is also available for €39.

In his beautiful restaurant overlooking the famous Ponte degli Alpini, he offers an à la carte menu that marks the transition to more approachable cuisine (in terms of price) and that's less edgy in its combinations. Local and Italian tradition are revisited with balanced panache. Here you'll find vitello tonnato accompanied by a parmesan biscuit, capers and stock of the same veal. Then there's their intense onion risotto, cod alla vicentina with buttered corn cream and their surprising fried chicken with sweet and sour sauce. The sweets department also delivers with a delicious lemon tart. The wine cellar has some nice options. Unhasty service offers cheerful smiles.

The atmosphere, which features a large fireplace (that provides heat in the colder months) and ceilings with wooden beams, aptly introduces the diner to the style of this well-established restaurant, long a bedrock of quality and taste. The family style of management is also reflected in the cuisine: traditional regional dishes that are open to the occasional new spin on a classic recipe. There's fried dumpling with stracchino and mortadella, toasted bread with creamed cod, bigoli in salsa, baked San Martino goose with apples, plums and chestnuts, pumpkin mousse and amaretti biscuits. The wine list pairs well with the food on offer, highlighting regional producers without ignoring the rest of Italy. Friendly, attentive service.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A family-run hotel that needed to be revived, starting perhaps with food. A harmonious duo of young but well-established chefs: one with experience at Dolada and Pellicano, the other (also a pastry chef) having worked with Beck and Scarello. The result is Incàlmo, in Veneto, a project that's just waiting to bear fruit (the first inklings of which are already very promising). There are two menus, one "veg" and the other a large, surprise menu, available at €60 and €80 respectively (with possible pairing). Dishes include: sweetbread, almonds, carrot and anise; buttons of robiola cheese, fermented plum, rennet water; glazed aubergines, celery, cherry or amberjack, capers and elderberry. It's all carried out with energy so as to enliven guests' taste buds. Leo Zanon's desserts, savory and "vegetal", daring but intriguing, deserve a special mention. Helpful advice when it comes time to choose from their 300 wines. Courteous service.

The name makes it clear that guests can stay overnight (in the adjacent inn) and enjoy a meal in an experienced restaurant where the territory's main ingredient, rice (among the best in Italy), takes center stage. For "Artigliere", it's a secret weapon, deployed with the pride of a venue that can serve its specialties (there's an entire risotto menu) within a 17th-century rice mill, the oldest "pila" in the area. And of course, there's not only rice on the menu—the food on offer varies from seafood (sea bass with black garlic and tartar sauce) to "Kobe style" ox. Informed, responsive service. Good wines.

Established as a tavern but now a gourmet seafood restaurant, Oste Scuro has been a safe haven, in the truest sense of the word, for over 20 years. Chef and owner Simone Lugoboni, who moves between the kitchen and dining area, represents "the" seafood restaurant in a region where meat reigns supreme. His is a menu of substance, as demonstrated by excellent raw fish (almost a menu in itself, with selections of oysters accompanied by fine caviar—and prices to match), but also of personality, like his risotto with black garlic, shrimp and parsley, or raw amberjack with tomato confit and parsley sauce, or the fried seafood "fritto in pappa". It can all be enjoyed in a comfortable dining area or the indoor garden, accompanied by an attentive staff that's happy to make suggestions or provide explanations. Wines to satisfy any desire.

There's also an outdoor dining area in a small courtyard. Debora entertains her guests, passionately describing the dishes that her husband, Marcellino, prepares in the kitchen. Try their Venetian-style liver, cut into petal shapes (as per tradition) and browned to perfection, just like the onions. Particular attention is paid to desserts, like their fantastic panna cotta with a must-wine sauce. A limited wine list includes carefully-studied options. Personalized and attentive service managed directly by Debora.

A terrace with a relaxed and "easy" bistro, a veranda where gourmet cuisine is served, the hotel where professionally-managed ceremonies and events are held, and a full, privileged view from on high of spectacular Lake Garda—this is La Casa degli Spiriti. For its part, the cuisine reflects the flexibility necessary for the variety of services provided, from seafood, to local specialties (lake fish and meat). Classicism and creative flourishes find a nice balance. Well-stocked cellar, with wines also available for take-away and various house specialties that can be purchased online.

Charm, good taste and haute cuisine blend harmoniously at La Corte, a restaurant situated in a luxurious relais in the Follina town center. So it is that, in their elegant rooms or splendid courtyard, you can enjoy a sense of relaxation and well-being. For two years the menu has been entrusted to Giuseppe Francica, a young chef skilled in balancing flavor with high quality ingredients from the territory and beyond. Definitely try the spaghetti al Piave Vecchio with cooked and raw scampi, bergamot and tomato water, and the salted cod cooked on the grill with potato mousse, candied lemon, escarole and almonds. A rich wine cellar features selections from around the globe. Friendliness and professionalism spring eternal.

The premise: in 2020 they'd simply lay the groundwork for the actual opening, last spring, as a fine-dining restaurant in a relais situated over Verona, in a position of rare beauty. From there each element would develop, starting with the cuisine, led by enfant du pays Giacomo Sacchetto, a young but highly experienced chef who draws heavily on biodynamic ingredients. His are classy dishes, very balanced, that play well on traditional elements but always with that extra touch (see his rabbit "Le consistenze" or lukewarm cannelloni "alla mugnaia"). Even when it comes to desserts, technical skill is on display (though it's never far from decadent flavor). An open cellar exhibits the many wines available (at good prices), with a valid dining room staff ready to help you make the best choice.

The bond between Renato Rizzardi and Sergio Olivetti, passionate workers and longtime business partners, is exemplary of what a good collaboration should be. The former authors classic cuisine that doesn't get lost in technicalities but rather aims to highlight the attributes of the ingredients used. The latter manages the dining room and a down-to-earth wait staff (present but never suffocating), while also selecting oenological gems that contribute to the pleasantness of the experience. Alongside the three tasting menus (€35, €55 and € 70), they offer appetizing dishes like cod praline creamed with cuttlefish ink, served with beetroot chutney and Matcha tea sorbet, or tortelli with venison sauce and a "drunken" asiago puff pastry with Torcolato.

For guests looking for more familiar dishes, there's the Osteria, which continues to offer tempting flavors that draw heavily on the territory (cod, snails, bigoli). Their creator is still the marvelous Alessandro Dal Degan, the ingredients used are available, in part, at their "Dispensa" shop. Another level of quality and a different menu await diners who opt for the space where the chef's creativity can fully express itself, like the multifaceted tasting menu "In cammino" ("On the road"), which features the eloquent caption "Feet on the ground and head in the air". Then there are skillfully executed vignettes, like venison tartare with mushroom ash "alla cervella fritta", mayonnaise and glasswort, or the white risotto with horseradish, acetified blueberry, long pepper and mugwort, or the extraordinary creation based around grilled smoked veal. Exceptional wine cellar and service (overseen by Enrico Maglio). Other hits include their delicious breakfast (€35) where local specialties and self-produced delicacies are served, and the overnight stay/spa package, which includes aperitifs, lunch, snacks and dinner.

A range of home-style cuisine (but with modern touches) includes homemade pastas, like buckwheat lasagna with zucchini flowers, followed by excellent grilled meat, often Garronese della Lessinia, accompanied by seasonal side dishes. Finally, for dessert, there are creams and semifreddos, or the classic millefeuille (depending on the period). There are many themed evenings, mostly in summer, when the grill and local wines take center stage. In fact, the cellar centers on quality, local wines that pair well with the menu. Courteous service. Book ahead.

The lovely Albergo Trieste hotel hosts this nice family-run restaurant, which has built its success on the quality of its dishes and the art of hospitality. The dining room is intimate. There are a few well-spaced tables set amidst a relaxing atmosphere of trim elegance. The service is managed with charisma and professionalism; the staff calmly advise their guests, guiding them in the choice of wine (the cellar is full of interesting options) without being suffocating or pushy. Piergiorgio Siviero brings the experience he acquired in great international venues to the kitchen, and puts it to good use by proposing two experimental menus, their Istantanee (6 or 10 dishes for €80 or €110) or the Campagna Liquida, which draws inspiration from tradition and territory. Bravo, everyone.

The Alajmo family manage the kitchen, while young Mattia Ercolino, their apprentice and pupil, oversees the staff. Michela Gobbo, who arrived here after the opening of Sesamo in Marrakech (another of the Alajmo family's projects), expertly coordinates the dining room and wine cellar. The space is characterized by a lovely, colored tile floor (cementine tiles) and glass walls that allow guests to admire the garden just outside. The food combines excellent ingredients with touches of personality and unusual, but always convincing, combinations, like risotto with seaweed and scallops. Their extensive wine list is international in scope. Last September, not far off (and inside the campus), the Alajmo brothers launched Amor, an eatery where students can enjoy simple foods, from pizza to burgers, hot dogs and focaccia, all with a focus on lightness and the authenticity of ingredients.

Even if it had been making its way with continuous improvements, additions to staff (both in the kitchen and in the dining room) and progress in terms of quality, the still relatively new venue Local was also among the many restaurants that suffered of late, primarily because of a lack of business. But it has since relaunched with energy, bringing new life to this secluded and quiet corner of Venice, situated just a stone's throw from the chaos of the city. Now that the tourists are around again, Matteo Tagliapietra's dishes relive: mullet, watermelon, wasabi and seaweed, the legendary "Marco's tomato" (Marco being an extraordinary local producer), their fantastic risotto with gò, Nori seaweed and katsuobushi, and the Milk and Honey. Additionally, they offer guests a worthy, well-researched wine list to choose from and tasting menus that run from €95 to €130 (€38 to €65 at lunch). Service that's up to the task.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A journey that, by now, has made history. A journey of family and the territory of Alpago. A tradition of hospitality (the inn, the restaurant and all their attending elements) that has carried on for four generations, never stopping, and always remaking itself: through the pursuit of elegance, research, the broadening of horizons, but always making warmth and affection a central pillar, one that's brought out in well-prepared food. And so their menus and the presentation of the dishes continue to evolve, but in a coherent way, without leaving behind or repudiating any of the precious ingredients and "know-how" accumulated over the years: the icon of the famous local lamb (in ragù with coratella and fragrant fricassee, on delectable bigoli al torchio pasta), the contribution of the woods, the fine combination of calf "testina" and the iodine accent of the sea urchin, the final touch of chocolate, olives and Campari. The wine cellar has always been a source of pride, for its originality, breadth and balance (glasses at the counter are the prologue and epilogue to the rest). The service is knowledgeable, cheerful, like everything here.

Margherita is situated inside the Villa Franceschi Relais & Chateaux, an enchanting location decorated in Venetian style and immersed in a 40,000-square-meter park. Painstaking attention to detail and the Dal Corso family's warm hospitality are the restaurant's hallmarks. Their gourmet menu features Venetian seafood, but not only. There are both old recipes and new, innovative flourishes created by a young, smart team on offer. Some examples? Spaghetti with clams, cherry tomatoes, puntarelle with anchovies, fried prawns with potato "confetti", but also Venetian-style liver with corn cream. A robust and rich wine list spans everything from neighboring Slovenia to Italy and various types of Champagne. Service on point.

Some will remember him as Carlo Cracco's first "victim" in Hell's Kitchen: seven years ago Matteo Grandi won the program and it proved to be the turning point in his career, which began in the East. Now the chef has returned home. His restaurant in San Bonifacio closed, he's operating in the city center, leading a very elegant and modern venue spread out over two floors. At street level there's the Gran Caffé Garibaldi bar-bistro, open from 8.30 am to midnight, while on the upper floor there's fine dining in an intimate space. Grandi is an "Italian" chef of great technique, with strong French and Asian influences, hence a menu where contrast is balanced and surprises are always pleasant. Three tasting menus are available (€70, €100 and €130). The dining room and pâtisserie are aptly managed by his wife, Elena, while a rich cellar that's particularly focused on natural wines finds in Raffaele Mor a brilliant director.

The scenic location, overlooking the Giudecca canal, with Piazza San Marco as its backdrop, offers unmatched views (a bonus). The Belmond group, which entered the orbit of LVMH a few years ago, knows that such beauty must be preserved with care and never squandered. It's in this light, where uniqueness becomes exclusivity, that their "Oro" needs to be understood. It's a single table for a maximum of six diners who will have the utmost attention of a trained staff, all accompanied by explanations of the individual dishes by chef Davide Bisetto himself, a connoisseur of local gastronomy who's gifted with impeccable technique. It's difficult to point to specific dishes, because they change continuously according to the season, the fish market and the inspiration of the chef, whose skill is on display when it comes to fine cuts of meat as well. The menu is the same for everyone and is offered at €240 (any allergies must be communicated when booking). For those guests lucky enough to find a place, there's also a huge wine list made up of some of the best bottles in the world.

Situated in an enchanting strip of Bardolino, Villa Cordevigo knows how to amaze its guests with atmospheres and glimpses of rare beauty (bonus). Oseleta, housed in one of the villa's outbuildings, describes itself as a "Mediterranean restaurant", a philosophy carried out with conviction by chef Marco Marras. His creations can be chosen à la carte or following one of four themed menus: seafood (€120), lake (€95), seasonal (€140) or vegetarian (€85) all with appropriate wine pairing. They all share in the use of excellent ingredients and clear flavors wrought of graceful combinations, crystalline technique and high-impact presentation. Young, courteous and professional service.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Ten years have passed since Andrea and Martina settled in the countryside between Treviso and Venice, and the pair are celebrating the occasion. Their Turbine is an authentic place, adorned with wooden beams, a pergola, rustic decor and plenty of greenery. It's a country trattoria (simple and delicious) that has gradually become a gourmet trattoria thanks to quality, well-presented dishes, attention to ingredients, and precise service. Progress has been slow but sure, without arrogance, as certified by a menu that changes sees 'signature dishes' (like pasta and beans) alternate seasonally with new creations that often become subsequent classics, like their poached egg with Parmesan cream, asparagus and seasonal herbs. Don't even think of taking it off the menu now.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A solid, family-run restaurant that's helping to write the history of fine Treviso cuisine. Osteria Dai Mazzeri offers a pleasant atmosphere spread out over several rooms, attentively decorated and furnished in a retro style. Equally pleasant is the cuisine, which is firmly rooted in the territory and deeply respectful of its culture and best products. It's the right place to enjoy baked polenta with sopressa and porcini mushrooms, duck ravioli or quail casserole with peverada sauce. A must is the mixed skewers, expertly prepared on weekends from late September to early summer. It's all supported by kind service and a well-stocked wine cellar.

Due Gamberi (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Situated in the city center, just a short drive from the motorway (and nearby airport), this pleasant restaurant stands out for its fine selection of quality ingredients and dishes. Here, in fact, you'll find traditional recipes as well as original creations nicely suited to the setting (and appreciated by the palate). Things start off well with cold cuts and mixed vegetables, then comes creamed cod, broccoli pie with taleggio sauce, artichoke pie, guinea fowl stuffed with chestnuts and rennet apples, baked rabbit and a delicious trifle to top it all off. Friendly, helpful service and the cellar (including many wines that represent good value for the money) do the rest.

Isabella is accompanied by her two talented children, Jessica and Filippo, while the kitchen is entrusted to the skilled hands of young chef Stefano Novello. It all starts with unbeatable zucchini flowers, stuffed with delicate ricotta and orange peel then fried to perfection. Then there's creamed cod and two types of lasagna (classic "home-style" or, in spring, with prawns and artichokes from the island of Sant'Erasmo). All the ingredients used come from small local producers, mostly farms on the lagoon's smaller islands. Mainly Venetian and national wines. Isabella provides attentive, careful service.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. After arriving on the right bank of Lake Garda, an area he knows well, the 'very veronesian' Giancarlo Perbellini not only renovated a historic restaurant, including a prodigious terrace and suggestive interiors, but immediately found the right cuisine. In terms of location and clientele, Perbellini ai Beati Lago di Garda has (deliberately) aimed higher than at his Milanese location. Here Italian dishes made with quality ingredients reflect Perbellini's hand: creamed pike and gazpacho, rabbit tuna sauce, warm swordfish with roasted peppers and green sauce. Three tasting menus are available (Cinque, Sette and Senza, which is free of fish, meat and gluten) if you don't want to choose off their wide-ranging menu. House desserts and an interesting selection of wines. Exemplary service for this type of venue.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Considering what's taken place since March 2020, in Venice in particular, we must congratulate the Alajmo family (not only them, obviously, many colleagues also deserve a round of applause) for not having given an inch in terms of quality in one of Italy's few, truly iconic restaurants. Hundreds of seats, ordinarily occupied by foreign tourists, were left unoccupied but this Venetian juggernaut kept the ship afloat by betting on their historic team. Chefs Silvio Giavedoni and Sergio Preziosa interpret Max Alajmo's vision in three or four acts, table d'hôte (menus available at €175 or €215), notwithstanding the possibility to choose à la carte, and create your own menu. Theirs are sophisticated dishes, often supremely delectable, where the lagoon's flavors are brought out the utmost, Italian tradition is represented and pure creativity is given free rein. In such an imaginative dining room, every time you discover some new detail you enjoy the top-notch service (orchestrated by Giovanni Alajmo and Stefano Munari, with sommelier Giacomo Lorato offering selections from a first-rate cellar) even more. Much to the relief of Italians, as well as gourmet food lovers from afar, the icon is safe.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. The name encapsulates their entire philosophy: Radici Terra e Gusto ("Roots of Earth and Flavor") is a rediscovery of values and flavors of the past through innovative techniques and unique combinations. For four years Andrea Valentinetti, its chef and owner (long part of the Alajmo group, including a stint at Le Calandre) has been working in this beautiful period villa with adjoining café-bistro. Three menus span meat dishes, seafood and raw foods (from €40 to €70), plus there's a lovely menu that includes everything from horse tartare with orange hollandaise sauce, asparagus, mustard and phyllo pastry (delectable), to glazed eel, sauce with miso and bergamot, celery and shiso (flawless), up to cheesecake, yogurt, red berries and raspberry sorbet. Their wine list includes a wide range of quality products, as does their cocktail menu. There's also a new takeaway venue in the heart of the city.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. With humility and a commitment to excellence (see the superb pastries inside), Andrea Costantini has become a point of reference for gourmet-food lovers of the Garda Veronese and beyond. At his elegant Regio Patio boutique restaurant, housed in the Tedeschi family's renovated Hotel Regina Adelaide, he's never limited himself to local cuisine. Indeed, his work spans the whole of Italy, but with imaginative touches and some well-played flourishes that leave one feeling that there's still plenty to be explored. Traditional dishes and new creations (see the pré-salé mutton and tomato steak) light up a rich menu à la carte and three tasting menus: Autoscatto (more than one version), Garda 100% and Orto. Service runs smoothly, while the wine cellar has been further honed, all while remaining competitive in prices.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2020. Ristorante Cavour's pride and joy is their delectable, rich selection of stewed meats, one of the area's main dishes, here meticulously and expertly prepared. They're accompanied by earthy dishes, like their delicious pasta and beans "del Cavour". Wine cellar and service more than adequate.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. The Rana family have made quality a centerpiece of their work, building a reputation that's become difficult to follow. Every aspect of Ristorante Famiglia Rana has been studied at length: the perfect restyling of the original space, situated amidst ancient olive trees and an organic vegetable garden, and adorned with a cellar of 800 different wines. The choice of chef is also spot on. Giuseppe D'Aquino knows the territory well thanks to his extensive experience at Oseleta, but hasn't let his past limit his range. Three tasting menus are available (Storia, Natura and Giro del Mondo), testifying to the Neapolitan chef's eclecticism. But they still manage to surprise for the "blended" vision that's on display: panzanella and squid nighiri, crab gyoza, Finnish sashi cuberoll. In short, a restaurant that's aiming high.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. This corner of Venetian countryside, on the border with Treviso, hosts a restaurant whose rooms are decorated with trim, classic,reassuring taste. A professional wait staff introduces you to a rather wide-ranging menu that centers on seafood, though has carefully chosen options for carnivores and vegetarians as well. Amidst classics and new creations conceived by Raffaele Ros, you'll find delicious scampo alla "busara", gnocchi alla veneziana (taken from an old, early-20th century recipe), prawns and cauliflower, and pigeon in three servings. There are three tasting menus (which can be accompanied by wines by the glass): "tra crudo e cotto" (€120); "i classici" (€85) or "natural-mente" without meat (€65). Nice wines from the fridge and cellar.

The picturesque dining room itself, housed as it is in the barn of the family farm, deserves a bonus, making for a rustic yet contemporary atmosphere adorned with vintage details and natural materials. Talented head chef Riccardo Gaspari retraces the flavors of old through innovative techniques and presentations, bringing out their natural flavor. It all starts with excellent ingredients, mostly from the farm and sometimes treated with an extra touch. The result is dishes like char marinated with black lentils and sour broth, their famous spaghetti with mountain pine oil and crispy bread or chicken stuffed with mashed potatoes and horseradish, and mustard sorbet. There's a particular focus on natural wines in their growing cellar. Precise and friendly service.

The Colonìa Resort is a small, elegant hotel situated in the rolling hills, covered by rows of vineyards, just south of Vittorio Veneto. The resort hosts Seda, a restaurant with an intimate and welcoming atmosphere. In one of their subtly charming rooms or at a table on the terrace overlooking the vineyards, they serve cuisine based on expertly selected ingredients, prepared, combined and presented with a delicate hand. Interesting dishes include the rice (vialone nano) creamed with goat robiola with porcini mushrooms, blueberries and foie gras, and the veal cheek cooked 36 hours with mashed potatoes and fried leeks. Excellent desserts (a passion of Alessandro Favrin, who was born into a family of pastry chefs). A wine cellar that's up to the task. Polite service.

One of the many stories was the failed reopening of Spinechile, the splendid creature of well-known and talented chef Corrado Fasolato. Fortunately it wasn't an "adieu", just an "arrivederci". Reopening was scheduled for 12 October 2021. The restaurant has been well reviewed from the outset, but for obvious reasons we had to suspend judgment, even if we're looking forward to having the chance to once again enjoy the view from one of their tables in the welcoming, polished resort in the woods over Schio.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Massimo Foffani and Davide Filippetto lead Storie d'Amore, a restaurant that feels almost a living room flanked by a nice outdoor dining area. Massimo plays host and and tends to their good list of wines (which includes 200 different types of Champagne). Davide authors balanced cuisine, which draws on seasonal and often local ingredients. The food on offer is available in various tasting menus, however guests can mix and match dishes to create their own. The menus are called Viaggiando con me (any choice of eight dishes, €110), Viaggio di Mare (seafood, €110) and Viaggio di Terra (meat, €80). Service in keeping with a pleasant atmosphere.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. A polished space, enchanting in its subtle, timeless charm: old wood and warm textures make the atmosphere romantic. The service matches perfectly. This is the domain of Graziano Prest, a chef skilled in selecting fine ingredients, both meat and seafood, but above all in authoring dishes whose common denominator is intensity of flavor. Two excellent examples of recent dishes proposed are the Alpago lamb tortelli stewed with grilled prawns, served with a broth of fermented peppers, and venison fillet in a fenugreek crust, served with a potato and black truffle goat cheese casserole. It goes without saying that the classics never disappoint. Their wine list, international in its reach, has plenty of outstanding options.

Today it's led by her nephews Andrea and Paolo. They haven't forgotten their aunt's teaching, especially when it comes to using good local products, an important (but not exclusive) part of their menu. Stuffed pastas, meats, vegetables and even fish, are the basis for an eclectic menu where flavor and lightness go hand in hand. The wine cellar is stocked with about 900 different bottles from both national and international producers. Polite service. Indoors, the space is divided into multiple rooms decorated in a contemporary way. In summer the outdoor dining area makes the experience even more pleasant.

The well-established chef and owner team of Alberto Basso and Christian Danese (also host and sommelier) have been leading this relaxing, welcoming and minimally decorated restaurant for 11 years. Trequarti draws on the area's gastronomic traditions, serving local fish and ingredients, even if they're always ready to unleash creative flourishes when requested. Thus diners can opt for the "Cicheti" menu, consisting of small portions that express the chef's philosophy, the more controlled "Caresse" menu or the bolder "Le Man Roverse". Otherwise, leave it to the chef. Delicious sweets. Well-stocked wine cellar. Precise and attentive service.

The atmosphere is elegant, welcoming, the tables overlooking the lake are fabulous, the cellar and service are up to par. If it is true that life begins at 50, this Bolzano cook, who adopted Garda as his home (he's devoted much more attention to the area than many natives), is worth watching, because the restaurant's growth in recent years has found success in the "R-Evolution": 11 courses for 130 euros, with many ideas and remarkable techniques on display, from sensational sweetbreads to eggplant & bottarga and kiwi & catfish. For those who aren't in the know, there's also the Classic & More (100 euros), a menu that always has the right edge and energy: classic Luppi.

Due Forchette (2/3) — Gambero Rosso Top Italian Restaurants 2022. Situated in the Bisol wine resort on the foggy, austere and quiet island of Mazzorbo (truly the "other Venice"), this exceptionally unique restaurant, a creature of the lagoon through and through, has experienced truly remarkable growth. And young Chiara Pavan has gotten a boost from the arrival of her boyfriend, Francesco Brutto, who closed Undicesimo Vineria in Treviso so as to pour his genius and taste for the unruly into Venissa. The two complement each other, she rigorous and enduring, he rhapsodic—and the game holds. There are so many ideas here that it borders on the avant-garde. Three menus: five courses for €110, seven courses for €140, nine courses for €170. The dishes draw on local, seasonal ingredients, with local herbs served alongside lagoon fish while exploring fermentation and acidity. Outstanding wines. The neighboring trattoria features traditional dishes comparable to that of the restaurant in terms of their quality and rigor.

Within its elegant spaces, we find Vero Venetian Roots, an intimate restaurant where authentic Venice is revealed in every detail. The same holds for the cuisine, which aims to express local tradition, both the sea and hinterlands, through a modern lens. Chef Raimondo Squeo treats his excellent ingredients with technique and a delicate hand, bringing out the quality of fish, meat and vegetables (many of which come from the garden in their courtyard). Service is attentive, while their wine list nicely represents northeast Italy. Reliable and punctual service.

A professional service completes the package.

From Calabria to Japan on the taste road: in 1996 Elio Orsara took to Tokyo the hospitality, flavours and traditions of Italian dining, especially the cuisine of southern Italy. This convivial style is a cornerstone of his success, confirmed by newspaper articles and TV appearances. Meat, fish and an inspiration that looks back to the past and the dishes that Elio's grandmother cooked in her Calabrian inn. Pasta made on the premises, perfumes and flavours that conjure up images of Mediterranean countries. We recommend fusilli alla calabrese, baked scampi au gratin andgrilled swordfish.

That's what we were thinking when we reached this elegant restaurant in the relaxed atmosphere of Omotesando district. In our last visit we had a very good risotto with white truffle, then tagliolini with sakura shrimp and canola flower and beef cheek meat slowly baked for 36 hours at low temperature with red wine sauce.

Keisuke Kuroda was in Italy in the late '80s, he was trained under Giorgio Pinchiorri in Florence, honing his knowledge in terms of wine. He took away the secrets of the big restaurant business and then started his own place in Japan, opening the Kurodino restaurant, followed by Kurodino 2. We are on the sixth floor of a building in the heart of the Ginza district, with refined ambiance and contrasting light and dark colors. The dishes are well presented and executed, even just a simple spaghetti cacio e pepe, with perfect sauces that accompany the meats. We recommend sauteed sweet bream with zucchini and edamame, turban liver and genovese sauce, bigoli with stewed hair crab and amanita caesarea androasted lamb meat with paprika and round meat stewed.The wine list is for true connoisseurs, with many French labels and lots of mature Italians.

Not surprisingly called S'Apposentu, the small atmospheric restaurant located in the former Tsukiji fish market district pays tribute to the venue where the chef-owner found his great inspiration: traditional and innovative Sardinian cuisine by chef Roberto Petza, with whom Akihiro Kimura refined his Italian culinary training in the early 2000s. The Sardinian cuisine employs simple ingredients in traditional recipes, but the result are elegant and minimalist dishes. Tasting menu only, composed of different appetizers, starters and main courses that vary according to season. The mix of authenticity enriched by Asian influences is quite striking. The wine list ranges from northern to southern Italy with a good presence of Cannonau and Vermentino island references.

One should not be surprised to read "sfugliatelle nghe la crema" on the menu of Giuseppe Sabatino's restaurant, which he started when he was very young to take his Italian flavours abroad. Since 2014 the owner has been based in Shinjuku, the most lively district of Tokyo, with his Japanese wife. Defining his Dai Paesani an Italian restaurant is too limiting. His is rather an Abruzzo restaurant, as evident by the bilingual Abruzzo/Japanese menu. Everything here speaks of Giuseppe's native region, which is present in the furniture, knick-knacks, books and above all in the flavours. The vegetables grown in his private garden are not generic. The garlic is from the variety of Sulmona, the asparagus comes from Castelguidone, the sweet peppers from Altino, not to mention the cured meats, which a lot is owed to, since the meeting with Davide Fabiano, chef and partner, took place thanks to the ventricina made in Japan. Do not forgo the liver sausage, the Callara style lamb, the pasta and, of course, the cured meats. The service is warm and the wine list speaks of the owner's passion for quality and research.

The atmosphere here is an authentic Sicilian home-cook style restaurant. Small and cozy, Ciuri Ciuri delivers guests a fine and friendly customer service. The menu Arancine offers a wide variety of tasty dishes, from fresh pasta to different types of fried arancini, the traditional Sicilian rice balls filled with sauce and peas. All the products are fresh and the dishes have the warmth of real homemade food. The chef takes great care in selecting the best quality ingredients, starting from extra virgin olive oil, an intense fruity one with fragrant aromas of Mediterranean herbs, and continuing with the brilliant Sicilian-style pasta dishes. Parmigiana and caponata are a real must try. A proper homemade ricotta cheese cannoli completes the experience.

Mi&Ti is the second venture of Ilario and Simonetta Mosconi, the owners of the famous restaurant on the bank of the Alzette that bears their name. It is an elegant, fashionable yet relaxed place, with black furniture, sophisticated touches of colour and low lighting. The glass walls separating the kitchen from the dining room allow customers to see the dishes being prepared. The food served in the first-floor restaurant and the shop with tables on the ground floor, is Italian, based on seasonal produce largely imported from Italy, much of which is also on sale in the shop itself. Traditional inspiration and Mediterranean aromas merge with a few contemporary touches to make this a very elegant setting.

Here they continue to offer cuisine of enormous respect for the integrity of the ingredients, most of which come from Italy and include the finest truffles, a super selection of artisanal cheese and pasta, balsamic vinegar and much more, from meat to fish. They go to create contemporary, top-flight dishes clearly rooted in Italian tradition. This year we highlight the fettuccelle, crispy eels, cherry tomatoes and bergamot.

Modena-born chef Marco Carboni has traveled a lot before opening in 2017 this lovely restaurant in the charming and relaxing Colonia Roma district, close to Plaza Rio de Janeiro. Homemade pasta is the restaurant's highlight. Start with the gnocco fritto, with prosciutto, parmigiano cheese and balsamic vinegar, then try the malloreddus (typical sardinian pasta) with ragu .
