I migliori ristoranti di cucina italiana

30/07/2025: They have a very nice terrace where you can sit and have dinner with a nice atmosphere. We tried “pasta a la Sarde”, typical of Sicily and also the typical dessert “cassata”. A quiet place with good food.

26/07/2025: Very warm and welcoming place inside and outside you are very comfortable, professional staff. Excellent quality food, the taste of the fish was very present, as it is fresh, even with slightly elaborate dishes, in fact I would like to recommend the preparation of some fish-based dishes in a traditional way, therefore simple such as grilled swordfish so you can fully enjoy the flavor of the same. Overall, a round of applause to all the staff.

10/09/2025: Nice and clean rooms, but the bathroom had a foul/unpleasant odor. Very tasty breakfast and dinner (except for the arancini), but unfortunately, the service at dinner wasn't particularly friendly or attentive.

14/08/2025: A hotel with all the amenities you'll never leave. The service and facilities are fantastic. Very convenient if you want to visit Taormina or hike Mount Etna. I recommend it especially for the summer months.

08/09/2025: We have eaten wonderfully here! The dishes were absolutely delicious and the service was amazing. We went for lunch but ate antipasti, primi and secondi, so it was a a bit more expensive but so so worth it. I think for the quality of food the prices are really really fair. Love this place and would highly recommend it!

05/09/2025: We found this place by chance during a visit to Certaldo in February. It was truly a fortunate discovery. The atmosphere is typical, a bit retro, and very pleasant. The owner is very kind and approachable, and willing to explain all the dishes we ordered. Everything was truly excellent, with an honorable mention for the onion soup. The price was absolutely reasonable for the quality of what we ate. If I'm ever in the area again, I'll definitely stop for another meal.

15/06/2025: Un piccolo ristorante per una grande sorpresa. Tutto perfetto, il servizio professionale e attentissimo, piatti buonissimi e abbondanti. Prezzi onesti. Assolutamente da consigliare

25/05/2025: We actually came to this wonderful osteria thanks to a Google recommendation and can truly confirm it as a full 5⭐ in every respect. The food is delicious, the service friendly, attentive, and patient 😊. We felt very comfortable. Mille Grazie for this wonderful, all-round culinary experience 💝

12/09/2025: A delicious and elegant restaurant. Very friendly staff. I hope to return.

08/09/2025: Impeccable service and truly excellent food.

23/08/2025: We looked for places in Cefalù through the Michelin Guide, they were all full except this one, and we understood why! The dishes were bland, but the worst thing of all was the service, very slow, even though there were only 4 people in total, and also never a smile and total listlessness on the part of the waiters. Absolutely not up to the standard of the Michelin Guide.

09/08/2025: A slightly critical five stars. There are some real strengths here, but it's not a perfect experience either. We tried five dishes (two starter, two pastas, one main) and the pastas were by far the strongest element. I feel like (non-Italians, at least) are constantly chasing elusive highs when it comes to pasta, where the textures and richness just come together into completely satisfying mouthfuls. Both pasta dishes we tried achieved this in different ways, for me the spaghetti was the standout. Both were elevated but not a huge departure from tradition (nor, sadly, huge portions - I could have eaten five times as much and been taken home strapped on the back of a vespa). The main was solid - grilled squid, came together nicely with the chickpea miso and other elements. I think you could probably do more with squid this good, but it's a strong dish. Oh I'll also mention the bread here - whoever is in the kitchen really gets their carbs, they're making absolutely fantastic bread as well as pasta. Where I was more skeptical was the starters. This should be the space where the kitchen is having the most fun - smaller portions and the fact that if someone doesn't like it, you have multiple courses to make them still leave happy means that you can really push the envelope if you want to. But here, the envelope remained pretty unpushed. The raw shrimp with citrus was fine, but only fine - fun presentation (I honestly thought they were baby carrots at first) but ultimately not more than the sum of its parts. The grilled onion was in theory more interesting - taking typical Sicilian ingredients and adding umami sources - but in the end there was nothing hugely unexpected about the taste and textures and you're just kind of sitting there thinking "damn, I just paid more than 20 euro for an onion". The price/quality ratio just isn't quite there for the starters - honestly just order an extra pasta for the same price. The question of fun is also important because while the service was professional and attentive, the vibe is currently dour. This is the height of the tourist season, and the restaurant is mostly empty in a Friday night, and the staff know it. That sucks, and they deserve better tbh - there is much worse food for not that much less to be found in crowded restaurants all over town. But this year at least, people are willing to pay for sea views over better food. Lastly, the wine was very good, and accommodating of ordering by the glass. Not the biggest cellar in town, but if you like your wines more natural or offbeat it's a well curated list. Overall, I'd recommend Qualia - but it probably needs to reinvent itself soon. I'd go back tonight if they agreed to sell me a bigger proportion of pasta and a glass or two of well-sourced wine, and honestly that feels more like the restaurant Cefalù needs.

03/09/2025: One of the best yet most affordable restaurants in the surrounding area. Nicely decorated, select ingredients. Very good wines, even if they're from largely unknown labels.

31/08/2025: 5 stars for the location (even though it was difficult to get up with 5-inch heels!). Good food, and carefully prepared dishes. Service: even though there's not much seating, there was only one waitress/host, who had a bit of trouble serving.

21/08/2025: We visited Rinuccio a Milo and it was a wonderful experience. We ate traditional Sicilian dishes with a refined twist, all delicious and with attention to detail. The staff and chef were extremely kind and efficient, making us feel welcomed and pampered. The restaurant is located in a truly enchanting location, surrounded by nature and with a marvelous view of Mount Etna. A place that combines excellent food, friendliness, and the beauty of the landscape. Highly recommended!

19/08/2025: Ristorante Da Rinuccio is a renowned osteria located in Milo, on the slopes of Mount Etna, on Via Mareneve. It is renowned for its authentic Sicilian cuisine and welcoming atmosphere surrounded by greenery. Traditional Sicilian and Mediterranean dishes are served, with a focus on local ingredients. Specialties include: Trofie with pistachio cream and crispy bacon, and Macaroni with Nebrodi pork ragù and fennel. Second courses include slow-cooked pork shank and sliced cubed roll with mixed salad. The excellent ingredients used and the friendly, attentive staff are impressive. Also recommended for its location, the lush greenery surrounding the rustic restaurant, and the view of Mount Etna.

10/09/2025: A fantastic setting and incredibly attentive and courteous service. The setting: an experience. And then the food. A total disappointment. The scallops as an appetizer: a scallop, split at most, so in two pieces, transformed into a ball of fried batter. If you remove the more than superfluous part without breading, to be honest, it has a slightly unpleasant fishy flavor. Embarrassing. The octopus too, thickly breaded. Beautifully presented and artfully prepared, but the real disappointment: embarrassing. Then the fettuccine with truffle. Very bland. As expected, we were disappointed.

07/09/2025: Exquisite restaurant 👌 They made my birthday very special♡ The food was the best I have ever tasted.

22/08/2025: Il Punto Cardinale and its extremely friendly team have now become our culinary must-visit whenever we're in Monopoli. We all thoroughly enjoy the wonderful, freshly prepared dishes, including the delicious bread (which is also homemade!), and the very friendly service! We will definitely be back and wish the entire team all the best and thank you so much for the wonderful, delicious evenings!

22/08/2025: Amazing food, great service, very professional and polite. Food is delicious, waiting time was normal. Highly recommend beef tartare.

03/09/2025: Delicious pasta carbonara and such great hospitality. A tiny restaurant run by a couple who makes everthing themselves

02/09/2025: Amazing! The place has 4 tables, but my wife and I had such a great time. The pasta was cooked in front of us, only 2 types, but wonderful. The wine was delicious, the music was perfectly selected. 2 hours flew by.

01/09/2025: Excellent location, even more excellent is the food and hospitality. The owner is exceptionally friendly.

31/08/2025: Magnificent. A wonderful day, the owners were friendly and welcoming. Everything was excellent, always served with great humor. A wonderful way to feel good. I'm celiac, the first time I chose this place, and everything was excellent. We'll definitely be back ❤️

01/09/2025: I tell you that it is a typical Venetian place, the food is good, the waiters are courteous, you too can try the typical Venetian food, you also have the opportunity to eat homemade pizza, guys, try it and then tell me

27/08/2025: Very friendly staff, excellent food, including pizza. Decent wine list, beer, and wine.

20/06/2025: A wine bar located in the historic center of Monopoli, in the heart of a quiet, romantic square. It offers an incredible welcome, delicious food, and cocktails worthy of a World Best Bar. The best address in Puglia.

18/06/2025: Very delicious food and nice staff.
