I’ve eaten my way around Italy so you don’t have to guess.
Nearly fifteen hundred places across all twenty regions: trattorie and ristoranti, pizzerie, bakeries, gelaterie, wine bars, markets and the cocktail bars worth a detour. Each with one line from me on why it is there.
No stars. No scores. No crowd-sourcing. Just the places I would send a friend to.
