Around Milan’s Duomo, a folded panzerotto at Luini makes a quick savoury stop. For a bigger order nearby, Zia Esterina Sorbillo serves fried pizza. Beyond the centre, the choice runs from hand-folded dumplings in Chinatown to roast chicken in Porta Romana. Allow around €15 per person for food alone, choosing your portion rather than assuming […]
In Seville, the choice between El Rinconcillo and Cañabota is not simply a choice of address: one suits a brief stop for traditional tapas, the other an evening devoted to fish. For a meal built around a particular dish, start with the orders below. For a longer occasion, look at the seated restaurants. The prices […]
For a sit-down meal in Marseille, choose the dish and the setting together. La Mercerie makes sense when you want the kitchen to decide what is in season, while the Old Port puts two quite different fish dinners close to the centre. Farther along the coast, a beach, a fishing inlet or a small harbour […]
For a short lunch in central Pisa, I Porci Comodi makes a porchetta sandwich you can take away, while Il Montino is the stop for cecina, the local chickpea flatbread. If you have time to sit down, the choice shifts to a shared Florentine steak at Cantina Vasari or seafood pasta at La Pergoletta. Choose […]
For a full vegan lunch or dinner in Florence, start with where you will be when you get hungry. Il Vegano suits a meal near San Marco, while Nirvana puts a seated vegan meal closer to Santa Maria Novella. Both serve plant-based meals rather than asking you to piece together a dinner from vegetarian side […]
A vegetarian dinner in Florence can mean a seasonal meal among books near Santa Croce, a table on an Oltrarno square or a changing daily menu north of San Lorenzo. Choose by the meal you want and the part of town you will be in: several of these kitchens serve lunch and dinner on different […]
A dinner for two in Florence can mean sharing a Florentine steak under old brick arches, sitting down to a contemporary tasting menu, or making the river view part of the evening. Choose the meal you want first, then the table: these four restaurants offer different levels of formality and markedly different bills. In this […]
Inside Lucca’s walls, a seated meal can mean a simple Tuscan lunch or an evening built around a longer dinner. Choose Trattoria da Giulio for an uncomplicated lunch, or choose Ristorante Giglio when dinner is the main event. Buca di Sant’Antonio and Osteria da Pasquale give you two more ways to eat in the historic […]
Florence offers different kinds of sit-down dinner: a close-set Tuscan tavern near Piazza della Signoria, a tripe specialist across the Arno, or a meal overlooking the river. Choose by the meal you want, not just the nearest address. Cosimo Rooftop suits an evening built around the view, while Trattoria Sabatino is a better fit for […]
A Florence view can mean the city spread beneath a rooftop, Ponte Vecchio close across the Arno or the skyline seen from Villa Bardini. Choose the sightline you want before choosing the restaurant: a riverside address alone does not tell you what you will see from your chair. These five places make different evenings, from […]
