Italo In Reggio nell'emilia

A perfect and private place to feel outside the city, yet right in its heart.

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 through style and flavor. Italo restaurant is more than just a place to eat, it's a true sensory experience. The vintage decor, with lamps straight out of a vintage film, beautifully set tables, and details that tell a story, creates a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The walls, adorned with paintings and prints, capture the attention, transforming the place into a small art gallery. A menu that speaks the language of flavor. The restaurant's dishes are a harmony of aesthetics and flavor, meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail. Among the offerings: • Marinated shrimp with red onions and a light dressing: a well-balanced explosion of freshness and sweetness, perfect as an appetizer. Every bite seems to evoke the sea. • Crispy cod with Jerusalem artichoke and ginger cream and artichokes: a combination of the delicate flavor of the fish and the creaminess of the vegetables, with a crunchy touch that makes the dish irresistible. • Pumpkin tart with egg and truffle shavings: a small masterpiece of autumnal flavors, where the sweetness of pumpkin meets the richness of 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 flavor of the octopus. Italo is the perfect combination of refined cuisine and a charming vintage atmosphere. Ideal for a special dinner or simply to indulge in a moment of pleasure. Highly recommended for those seeking not only good food, but also an experience that engages all the senses.

Excellent dinner, served with attention and care In a very refined and unique setting.

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
