Pasta, truffles, the Riviera
Italian & Mediterranean
The Mediterranean at its most refined: white truffle tagliolini in Zurich, Da Vittorio’s paccheri in the Alps, Cipriani’s Bellini on the Riviera and Carbone’s veal parm in New York and Miami.
Italian and Mediterranean restaurants are where our readers celebrate: the food is generous, the rooms are warm and the wine lists run deep. We list the Italian houses that have become icons abroad, the Riviera and Balearic kitchens that cook the sea and the garden, and the trattorias whose pasta alone justifies the flight.
