Italo In Reggio nell'emilia

Very good food and excellent service

It's been more than 20 years since I last ate at this restaurant, but I can say that I had a pleasant feeling. I remembered its very particular decor with its sofas, its vintage lamps, the particular paintings, I would say that everything was like then but with a touch of different: the kindness and professionalism of the owner Cristina made me feel at home, she made us feel in a family environment. Then what can I say about the food: I ate an incredible dish, a mixed seafood appetizer! What did I like the most? The red shrimp tartare from Mazara del Vallo, I felt the sea in the dish, good, sweet WITHOUT THAT TRACE OF AMMONIA THAT YOU OFTEN FEEL when you eat fish! this was, what can I say, amazing! I appreciated that the chef came out to say hello, so I took the opportunity to thank him in person I really like it when I go to a restaurant and the chef takes some of his precious time to come to our table. I would also like to thank chef Valentina and all the guys on the staff for their availability and kindness. I will definitely be back!

A journey between style and flavours. The Italo restaurant is not just a place to eat, but a true sensorial experience. The vintage furnishings, with lamps that seem to come out of a period film, well-set tables and details that tell a story, create a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The walls full of paintings and prints capture the attention, transforming the room into a small art gallery. A menu that speaks the language of taste. The restaurant's dishes are a harmony of aesthetics and flavour, with attention to the smallest details. Among the proposals: • Marinated prawns with red onions and light seasoning: an explosion of freshness and well-balanced sweetness, perfect as an opening. Every bite seems to want to tell the story of the sea. • Crispy cod with Jerusalem artichoke cream, ginger and artichokes: a combination of the delicacy of the fish and the creaminess of the vegetables, with a crunchy touch that makes the dish irresistible. • Pumpkin pie with egg and truffle flakes: a small masterpiece of autumnal flavours, where the sweetness of the pumpkin meets the richness of the truffle, for a result that is pure elegance. • Roasted octopus with beetroot cream: a play of colors and textures that delights both the eyes and the palate. The beetroot cream adds an earthy sweetness that perfectly balances the taste of the octopus. Italo is the perfect combination of refined cuisine and an atmosphere with vintage charm. Ideal for a special dinner or simply to indulge in a moment of pleasure. Highly recommended for those looking not only for good food, but also for an experience that involves all the senses.

Excellent dinner, served with attention and care In a very refined and particular environment

Always the best, in everything.

Stunning setting for a cozy, warm, welcoming, intimate dinner. Attentive, precise, truly attentive service. Perfect lighting for my tastes. Honestly, for my tastes, the kitchen must be the cornerstone of the restaurant, as first I had the tagliatelle for example.. Well, the way I live, tagliatelle must smoke due to the temperature. They were COLD. only in the center they were lukewarm.. That is, then... they were in a Reggio cheese fondue... always cold.. I really... I don't know😕. If I were the owner I would tell the waiters. "When you bring (especially) a first course to the table, with your hand under the plate, feel that it is nice and hot, otherwise take it back to the kitchen and have it done again" I would raise the cuisine bar quite a bit, the place deserves it. Come on 💪🏼

Fantastico posto, cibo eccellente, servizio stupendo, eleganza, gentilezza, alta professionalità. Locale molto carino, accogliente curato nei dettagli. Ottimo anche l'impiattamento e le porcellane utilizzate. Un 110 e lode

Ristorante con arredamento stile retrò e una bassa illuminazione per ricreare una atmosfera particolare che può o non piacere a tutti. Personale cordiale che ci fa accomodare subito e decidiamo di optare per assaggiare alcune delle pietanze della località. L’antipasto è un tortino di erbazzone con crema di parmigiano e zafferano che si rivela buono ma semplice. Come portata principale invece non poteva mancare un bel piatto di tortellini in brodo (ottimi!). Concludiamo la cena con una porzione di salame di cioccolato. Il conto risulta leggermente sopra la media.

Restaurant with retro style furnishings and low lighting to recreate a particular atmosphere that may or may not please everyone. Friendly staff who made us sit right away and we decided to opt to taste some of the local dishes. The appetizer is an herbazzone pie with parmesan and saffron cream which turns out to be good but simple. As a main course, however, a nice plate of tortellini in broth (excellent!) could not be missing. We conclude the dinner with a portion of chocolate salami. The bill is slightly above average.
