Le Chat Qui Rit: Pizza While in Italy

by DueSer

Everything except St. Mark's church is hard to find in Venice but this restaurant is worth walking around in circles. Food is served cafeteria-style UNLESS you order a pizza. Those aren't sitting waiting for customers. When you arrive, wait until you make your way through the line of pre-prepared food and arrive at the cashier. Then tell her which pizza you'd like to order. Pay and she'll give you a ticket, which you take into the dining room and give to a waiter, who then gives your order to the cook and your pizza is made specifically for you.The size of a large plate, each pizza is for one person and tastes better than anything you can get in the U.S. The crust and sauce both have different spices that are wonderful and the price is very reasonable. It's not just a quick and inexpensive meal, it's a delicious sample of that famous Italian food you hear about. Pizza Diavola (the...

Vivoli's

by madamx

Florence is the birthplace of gelato, and we tried every gelateria, every chance we got. So I feel we have the right to crown Vivoli's the best gelato in Florence!According to one of the locals, this is presently Florence's oldest gelataria, having been present in this location since the early 1900's. Their secret is only making what is fresh that day, and only using non-processed ingredients. If you can get your hands on it, the Wild Strawberry is out of this world and maybe better than you know what. Whatever flavor you choose, though, you won't be disappointed. Prices are pretty good as well, as they are still a little off-the-beaten path, being tucked in a tiny side street off the Piazza Santa Croce.Location: This place can be tricky to find, as we have overheard fellow tourists in Florence complain. However, that keeps it non-crowded :o) I will tell my fellow VT-er's though. Go to...

Borgo Antica

by madamx

This was our favorite restaurant in Florence, located in the Oltrarno area. Besides offering good food, the service was warm, intelligent, and friendly, the prices were right, and sitting on their patio, overlooking the Piazza Santo Spirito, the people watching was terrific. This all added up to be a winner for us. Everything seems good here. There is a regular menu, plus a page added daily about what the chef has found fresh or what he has whipped up for that day. The staff speak fair English and discuss recommendations or how a dish is prepared.We had two fabulous appy's -- my hubby the panzanella (italian bread salad) and I the wild boar pate on crostini, with sheep's cheese, honey, and mustard fruit pickle. The fruit pickle looks deceptively mild! Seafood is excellent in Florence, and we were not disappointed in ordering the Branzino (Sea Bass), stuffed with rosemary, sprinkled with...

Enoteca Pinchiorri: Where The Surprises Never End

by madamx

Enoteca Pinchiorri is known as one of the world's top 50 restaurants, and is also Florence's best restaurant. People have argued that the food isn't really Italian, it's really French (so I categorized it under French) However, all the dishes have an Italian influence, and we were captivated by some of the innovative dishes we were treated to. Reputed to have 850 to 1200 bottles of wine in the cellar (depending on what source you read) the wine list was a 1 1/2 inch bound book -- literally.This restaurant is ridiculously expensive, but the service is impeccable, the dishes sublime and this is THE place for a very special birthday or anniversary treat that you will remember for a very long time. Our justification for being there was we are die-hard foodies and maybe foolish ones at that! The staff are not sniffy and are friendly, warm, and engaging. They are, though, quite formal and the...

Papisca's !: Great food on Lipari !

by Aquacraig

This little place is a new fitout right on the beach and does everything. Sit down meals, bar, gelato, granita....they have it all. A good atmosphere too and very friendly. English speaking also ! Pesce Spada (swordfish), squid and the arancini !

Ristorante Torre Saracena Luna Convento: Dine in a 16th Century Watchtower

by MonicaLouise

From the main promenade that is Amalfi beach, you can see the Torre Saracena restaurant looming out over the waterfront like some kind of fortress. That's because it was originally a 16th century watchtower for the Franciscan monastery founded by Saint Francis in 1222, that now houses the Hotel Luna Convento across the street. The varied menu consists of both local and common Italian dishes with a wide range of seafood and meats, with wine to complement. A truly elegant Italian dining experience with amazing views of both Amalfi and Atrani.

Il Lucumone Ristorante: Fresh Seafood for Each Course

by deecat

Our second trip to Italy in 2001,the first night we spent on the Etruscan Coast (Costa Etrusca) in Vincenzo. Since we were on the coast, we wanted to find the best seafood restarurant. The owners of our Agriturismo told us to go to a small village a few miles away called Castello di Populonia. This village has one street and one restaurant! It is called Ristorante Il Lucumone and is run by a mother and daughter. The streets in the village are cobblestone, and the picture reflects that as well as the name of the restaurant on the sign that Allan is pointing to.We had the most lovely two-hour dinner from 8-10:30. We were served: champagnewineanti pasta of cabbage and cheesecrustoni (shrimp)Ravioli with shrimp and tomatoeswhite fishpotatoesdessertcoffeeand an after dinner drink. Everything was absolutely delicious!There was soft music in the background, and the restaurant seemed like...
