Ristorante Galleria sits inside the Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II, the glass-roofed arcade that runs between the Duomo and La Scala. That address is the whole of its character: you eat under the iron and glass of the 1870s, in what is arguably the most photographed interior space in Milan, with the mosaic floor and the passing crowd as the setting. One practical point matters more than anything else here, and the restaurant states it plainly on its own site: the only way to reach them is by e-mail, to info@ristorantegalleria.it, and a booking counts only once they have confirmed it by e-mail in return. They do not use WhatsApp or any messaging service. Anyone booking through a third party claiming otherwise is not booking this restaurant. The kitchen is open long hours — from ten in the morning until midnight, every day of the week — so it covers a mid-morning coffee, lunch, an afternoon in the arcade and a late dinner after the opera. Tables stand out in the Galleria itself. The location makes it one of the easiest addresses in Milan to find and one of the hardest to get a table at on short notice: the Duomo metro stop empties directly into the arcade. If you are staying in the centre, you will pass the door whether you plan to or not. You will find Ristorante Galleria at Galleria Vittorio Emanuele II 75, 20121 Milano.

Via Speronari 6, 20123 Milan

+3902874797

Mon 07:30–19:30; Tue 07:30–19:30; Wed 07:30–19:30; Thu 07:30–19:30; Fri 07:30–19:30; Sat 07:30–19:30; Sun 07:30–19:30

Princi is a Milanese bakery, and the shop on Via Speronari is a few steps from the Duomo. The house has been baking since 1986 under the name L'Artigiano del Pane — the craftsman of bread — and it is one of the small number of Milanese food names that became international without leaving: there are Princi bakeries in the United States, Japan, China and Kuwait, all of them selling what the company calls the spirit of Milan. What is sold is bread, pizza, focaccia and pastries, baked through the day rather than in one morning batch, which is why the counter looks different at nine in the morning and at five in the afternoon. Focaccia and pizza al taglio are sold by weight and eaten standing or taken away, and that is how most of the queue uses the place: this is a bakery, not a restaurant, and there is no table service. It opens every day from half past seven in the morning until half past seven in the evening — long hours by Milanese standards, and unusual in covering Sunday. Via Speronari is a short pedestrian street running off Via Torino, inside the block between the Duomo and Piazza Missori. If you are staying in the centre this is the practical answer to breakfast, and a better one than the hotel buffet. You will find Princi at Via Speronari 6, 20123 Milan.

Via Torino 34, 20123 Milan

+390286453482

Mon 12:00–15:00, 19:00–23:00; Tue 12:00–15:00, 19:00–23:00; Wed 12:00–23:00; Thu 12:00–23:00; Fri 12:00–23:00; Sat 12:00–23:00; Sun 12:00–23:00

Piz is a pizzeria on Via Torino in central Milan, and by review count it is the most talked-about place to eat in the city — more than sixteen thousand people have rated it, far ahead of any restaurant in Milan. It has been open for over ten years, which in a city where fashions and venues turn over quickly is the point the house makes about itself. The format is deliberately narrow: Neapolitan-style pizza, a short menu, a low price band. There is seating outdoors and pizza can be collected to take away. What the numbers describe is a room that is busy from midday onwards, and the queue outside is part of the experience rather than a sign that something went wrong — going early or late is the practical advice. It is open every day. Monday and Tuesday it runs in two sittings, midday to three and seven to eleven; from Wednesday to Sunday it stays open straight through from midday to eleven at night. Via Torino leads southwest out of Piazza del Duomo towards the Carrobbio, so this is a five-minute walk from the cathedral and inside the ring most visitors never leave. If you are staying anywhere central you can walk here, and the street itself is one of Milan's busiest shopping runs. You will find Piz at Via Torino 34, 20123 Milano.

Via San Carpoforo 7, 20121 Milan

+390238313245

Mon 12:30–22:30; Tue 12:30–22:30; Wed 12:30–22:30; Thu 12:30–22:30; Fri 12:30–22:30; Sat 12:30–22:30; Sun 12:30–22:30

Maccheroni stands on Via San Carpoforo in Brera and calls itself La Carbonara N°1 di Milano — the number one carbonara in Milan. That is a claim rather than a title, and the restaurant is direct about staking it, which is a reasonable thing to know before you walk in: carbonara is the dish it wants to be judged on. The wider idea is domestic cooking taken seriously. The house describes it as the flavours of home, the way they used to be — but better: the dishes a mother and a grandmother would have cooked, rebuilt with the technique of a professional kitchen. In practice that means a short menu of Italian classics rather than a survey of the regions, and it is the difference between a trattoria and a restaurant doing trattoria food. It opens every day from half past twelve until half past ten at night, straight through with no afternoon break. Tables can be booked through the restaurant's own site, by telephone, or by e-mail. Via San Carpoforo is a quiet street in the middle of Brera, the old artists' quarter, a few minutes on foot from the Pinacoteca di Brera and from the Lanza metro stop. It is a part of the city where the streets are narrow enough that a restaurant is found rather than passed, which suits this one. You will find Maccheroni at Via San Carpoforo 7, 20121 Milano.

Via Tivoli 3, 20121 Milan

+393440739345

Mon 12:00–14:30, 18:30–22:15; Tue 12:00–14:30, 18:30–22:15; Wed 12:00–14:30, 18:30–22:15; Thu 12:00–14:30, 18:30–22:15; Fri 12:00–14:30, 18:30–22:15; Sat 12:00–14:30, 18:30–22:15; Sun 12:00–14:30, 18:30–22:15

Gloria Osteria is an Italian restaurant on Via Tivoli, in the Brera district of Milan. It belongs to the Big Mamma Group, which also runs rooms in Paris, Barcelona, Dublin and Dubai, and the Milan house is the group's Italian one — cooking the country it comes from rather than exporting it. The room is the argument. Seven hundred and forty square metres under eight tall windows, so it is full of daylight in a way few Milanese restaurants manage, furnished with coloured velvet armchairs and built around a counter of Giallo Siena marble. The house describes the look as 1960s glamour, and that is a fair summary: it is theatrical on purpose, and it photographs the way it is meant to. The kitchen is run by chef Manuel and his brigade, and works through the Italian regions rather than one of them, offered either as a tasting menu or à la carte. Cocktails and a selected Italian wine list are served at the marble counter. The group is a certified B Corporation. Service runs every day in two sittings, midday to half past two and half past six to a quarter past ten. Booking is advisable — this is one of the most heavily reviewed restaurants in the city, with close to twelve thousand ratings. Brera is the old artists' quarter, walkable from the Duomo and served by the Lanza and Moscova metro stops. You will find Gloria Osteria at Via Tivoli 3, 20121 Milano.

Via Al Confine 16/A, 23823 Colico

+390341930257

Il Mercante al Laghetto pairs the cooking of the upper lake and Valtellina with an unusual setting beside a small natural pond in Colico's industrial area. The restaurant has indoor and outdoor spaces, so it can work for a straightforward lunch as well as a longer dinner. Use the Via Al Confine address when planning a visit; the pond setting is separate from Colico's main Lake Como waterfront. Regional starters include sciatt, taroz, bresaola with rocket and Parmesan, and boards of cured meats or cheeses. The tasting menu is designed for the whole table and begins with a mixed house starter before a selection of first courses and dessert. It is an option for at least two people who want to explore several parts of the kitchen's repertoire together. Handmade pizzoccheri share the menu with Valchiavenna gnocchetti and a wide range of filled pasta. Ravioli can feature perch with butter and sage, whitefish with almonds and lime, or polenta with Casera cheese. Main courses include a breaded veal cutlet, roast veal, ribs with polenta taragna and whitefish in butter and sage. Grilled tomino cheese and seasonal vegetable sides provide additional choices. Children have simpler pasta and chicken dishes, while dessert options include tiramisù, panna cotta and fruit sorbets. The restaurant recommends booking at weekends. It currently serves lunch every day and dinner from Tuesday to Sunday, with Monday evening closed. Telephone ahead to reserve and confirm any particular dish or outdoor seating preference.

Frazione Biosio 1, 23822 Bellano

+390341821362

Crotto di Biosio sits on the hillside above Bellano, where terraces open towards Lake Como and the surrounding mountains. Indoors, rooms with fireplaces give the restaurant a welcoming setting in cooler weather. Behind them is the natural grotto used as a pantry, a reminder of the traditional purpose of a crotto. The establishment grew from a local meeting place and walkers' stop into the family restaurant it is today. The kitchen draws on the nearby valleys, using cured meats, cheeses and seasonal produce alongside fish and meat dishes. A mixed starter features salumi from Marco d'Oggiono with sweet-and-sour vegetables. Homemade grape-and-walnut bread is paired with natural blue cheese and honey from Biosio, while local cheeses can be ordered with preserves or honey. First courses include pumpkin-and-Taleggio crêpes, fresh egg pasta with sausage ragù and layered pasta with salmon trout, courgette and lake-fish roe. Heartier choices bring lamb cutlets with courgette and mint, grilled sausage with polenta, and skewers served with polenta. A cheese-rich polenta preparation and vegetable sides give companions further options without relying on the same meat dishes. House desserts and wines by the glass allow the meal to end simply or continue at a slower pace. The location suits a meal planned around a visit to the hillside, with the outdoor terraces particularly attractive in suitable weather. Contact the restaurant to reserve and check the current menu and opening days, then use the Biosio address when arranging your route up from Bellano.

Via Carlo Alberto 8, 23822 Bellano

+390341810317

La Darsena in Bellano brings the Moschetti family's Valtellina cooking to a dining room overlooking Lake Como. Large windows frame the water, and an open kitchen lets guests see the preparation behind the meal. The restaurant is set in the town's old silk-mill complex on Via Carlo Alberto, making it a natural place to pause for lunch or dinner while exploring Bellano. Handmade pizzoccheri are the kitchen's signature, prepared to a longstanding family recipe. Sciatt, the crisp buckwheat fritters with a Casera cheese centre, and a Valtellina starter with bresaola introduce the mountain side of the menu. Local cured meats and valley cheeses, including Storico Ribelle, continue that connection to the region. The lake is equally present at the table. A selection of lake-fish starters includes small fish prepared in carpione, while rice with perch follows the traditional local approach. Trout with citrus gives another fish option. For a meat course, the restaurant offers beef fillet cooked sous vide and finished with whisky and honey, as well as heartier seasonal preparations. Desserts include buckwheat cake and an apple cake based on a family recipe. The wine list and a selection of Italian craft beers provide several ways to accompany the dishes. Reserve ahead if a table by the windows matters to you, particularly at weekends. Monday is the regular closing day, and same-day reservations are handled by telephone. Groups larger than eight should also call so the restaurant can discuss the most suitable arrangement.

Via Vittorio Veneto 29, 23822 Bellano

+390341810307

Cavallo Bianco is a longstanding restaurant and pizzeria on Bellano's lakefront, with an indoor dining room and a terrace directly beside Lake Como. Chef Alberto Riva and Daniela lead a kitchen that combines local lake-and-valley dishes with wood-fired pizza and pinsa. The generous range makes it a useful address for a family meal or for friends returning from a day exploring the eastern shore. Pizza choices run from Margherita and buffalo-mozzarella Bufalina to more distinctive combinations such as pear with Taleggio or apple with Gorgonzola. The house Cavallo Bianco is presented as half pizza and half calzone, with porcini, Parmesan and spicy salami. Vegetarian and anchovy-topped varieties sit alongside the familiar ham, mushroom and four-cheese options. For a meal from the restaurant kitchen, starters include missoltini with polenta, sciatt and smoked trout with orange. Pizzoccheri are available for at least two people, and the pasta selection includes perch-filled ravioli with herbs and pistachio. Grilled trout, sea bass, mixed fried lake fish and meat dishes give the table plenty of alternatives to pizza. Children's chicken with fries is also listed. The dessert menu includes tiramisù, buckwheat cake with blueberries and panna cotta with berry sauce. A lake-facing table is worth requesting when booking, particularly in busy holiday periods. Lunch and dinner are served throughout the year, but the usual Monday closure changes in peak season, so telephone the restaurant to confirm the schedule for your visit.

Via Giacomo Matteotti 46, 23824 Dervio

+393396778394

Dietro L'Angolo is a family-run trattoria and pizzeria on Via Giacomo Matteotti in Dervio. Leonardo and Barbara combine the dishes of Lombardy with a broad pizza, grill and seafood menu, making it a practical local choice for couples, families or friends with different appetites. The restaurant has an indoor dining room, terrace and bar, with the wood-fired oven forming an important part of evening service. For a regional meal, start with sciatt, the crisp buckwheat fritters filled with Casera cheese, or a board of cured meats and cheeses. Pizzoccheri come with potatoes, seasonal greens, cheese, butter and sage and are ordered for at least two people. Other first courses include saffron-and-sausage risotto, beef-ragù tagliatelle and linguine with clams. The pizza selection ranges from Margherita and Napoli to the house version with sausage, Gorgonzola and onion. Vegetarian toppings, calzoni and richer combinations with porcini or speck widen the choice. Away from pizza, there are sliced grilled beef, burgers, a breaded pork cutlet and mixed fried seafood. Homemade panna cotta, tiramisù and crema catalana offer a familiar finish. A set lunch is available from Monday to Saturday, while groups of at least four can ask about the evening Giro Pizza format. Lunch is served daily, with Tuesday evening the regular closure. Reserve by phone, especially for a group, and discuss dietary requirements directly: although alternative pizza bases are offered, the restaurant explicitly notes that preparation takes place in a shared kitchen.

Gërmia Park, Dr. Shpëtim Robaj, 10000 Prishtina

+38345265578

Mon–Sun 06:30–23:00

Vila Gërmia places a broad, family-friendly menu inside Prishtina's Gërmia Park. The restaurant traces its history to the 1960s and has developed into a venue with several indoor rooms and three terraces. Its combination of trees, outdoor space and a choice of dining areas makes it suitable for a longer lunch or an organised gathering as well as an ordinary dinner. The menu moves between local favourites and familiar international dishes. Starters include peppers with kajmak, fried mushrooms and oven-baked cheese with peppers. Soups offer chicken, veal or vegetables, while more substantial choices include meatballs, veal with rice and vegetables, and chicken dishes with mushroom sauce, spinach and cheese, or curry. Trout provides a fish option. Pizza and pasta make the selection particularly adaptable for mixed groups. The pizza list includes Margherita, mushroom, tuna and a vegetable version with mushrooms, olives, peppers, onion and courgette. Pasta ranges from Bolognese and spicy tomato penne to a vegetarian preparation. If you have dietary requirements, ask the team about ingredients and preparation when ordering rather than relying only on a dish's name. For a celebration or business meal, contact the restaurant about the most appropriate room or terrace. Daily opening begins early, but it is sensible to confirm the service times for the meal you want. The park address on Dr. Shpëtim Robaj is the location to use when planning your route from accommodation outside the city.

Dr. Shpëtim Robaj, Gërmia Park, 10000 Prishtina

+38345106090

Tue–Sun 11:00–23:30; Mon Closed

Soma Slow Food combines Albanian cooking with a distinctive setting in Gërmia Park, on the wooded side of Prishtina. It is a place to plan around a full meal, with a location that lends itself to an unhurried lunch or an evening out after spending time in the park. The restaurant serves lunch and dinner and accepts table reservations. The food gives familiar regional ingredients room to stand out. Among the dishes the kitchen presents is jufka with wild mushrooms: traditional Albanian noodles served either individually or as part of a larger selection. Its mezze brings together bread, cheese, cured and dried beef, pickled vegetables and spinach pie. These small dishes give a group several flavours to explore before deciding how much more to order. Ask about the current selection and any dietary requirements when reserving. The building is a substantial part of the experience. Architect Besmir Hasi's project uses timber, stone, steel and glass, with large windows designed to keep the surrounding greenery visible from inside. Traditional materials meet a contemporary dining space, so the park remains present even when the weather favours an indoor table. Soma Slow Food is on Dr. Shpëtim Robaj in Gërmia; use this location when arranging transport. Published service runs from Tuesday to Sunday, with Monday closed. For a group dinner, confirm the table size and the preferred style of meal directly with the team before travelling.

Rruga Martirët Radashec, 10000 Koliq

+38343806661

Aluna Restaurant is a countryside dining destination in Koliq, in the hills outside Prishtina. Its story begins with Arben Leci's return to Kosovo after years in London. Working with his wife, whose background includes seventeen years in London restaurant kitchens, he developed a restaurant and villas that combine local food traditions with a stay close to nature. The cooking has a traditional Kosovar foundation, with ingredients sourced from nearby farms as part of the original concept. Pizza is also a clear part of the restaurant's current offering: recent kitchen posts highlight freshly prepared dough and melted cheese. This gives families a familiar option alongside the local cooking, and makes Aluna a practical choice when different people at the table want different styles of meal. The grounds add another reason to make the journey. A small farm with animals is part of the visitor experience, and the restaurant specifically welcomes families with children. The combination of a meal and time in the countryside can work well for a relaxed afternoon. Aluna also hosts cultural occasions and live music, with individual dates announced separately. Call the restaurant to reserve, confirm the day's menu and ask about any event planned during your visit. Follow the location on Rruga Martirët in Koliq rather than a central Prishtina address. The restaurant's rural setting is an essential part of what it offers, so allow time for the journey and the meal itself.

Butovc, Zllatar–Gërmi road, 10000 Butovc

+38348234238

Tue–Sun 10:00–23:00; Mon Closed

Hamari Agroturizëm brings the cooking of Kosovo's countryside to a rural table in Butovc, on the Zllatar–Gërmi road outside Prishtina. The restaurant combines traditional food with international touches, using a grill, a wood-fired oven and a saç, the covered cooking vessel associated with the region. It is a useful choice when the meal itself is part of an outing into the hills. Breakfast has a particularly local character: eggs, fresh cheese and warm petulla feature among the kitchen's recent offerings. Later in the day, vegetable salads with white cheese bring something fresh to the table. One of the more personal dishes is a cream-cheese and olive preparation developed by Blinera after Adrian returned from a trip to Greece. The kitchen pairs cheese with olives from Kallmet, giving a simple shared starter its own story. Bread comes from the oven, and the courtyard setting places the meal close to the surrounding countryside. Hamari has also hosted special communal dinners built around seasonal produce and local farmers. These are separately announced occasions, so check the restaurant's current programme if that is the experience you have in mind. Plan the visit around its Tuesday-to-Sunday service, and call ahead to arrange a table and ask what is cooking that day. The Butovc location is worth entering precisely into your route planner, especially when travelling from a rural holiday home rather than central Prishtina.

Bear Sanctuary Prishtina, near Badovc Lake, 10000 Mramor

+38345999061

Thesaret e Natyrës is the vegetarian restaurant at Bear Sanctuary Prishtina's environmental education centre, near Badovc Lake in Mramor. Its food follows the sanctuary's animal-welfare approach: the menu focuses on local vegetarian cooking and includes vegan choices. For visitors looking for a meal without meat, it offers a clearly defined alternative in the countryside east of Prishtina. The setting is part of the appeal. The restaurant belongs to a wider centre designed to connect a family day out with learning about animals and the environment. Children can explore the centre's treasure-hunt concept, which introduces animal welfare and environmental protection through active discovery. The surrounding landscape and the nearby lake give the visit a different rhythm from a city restaurant stop. A meal here can be planned alongside a visit to the sanctuary. Guided visits are available on request, subject to availability, and typically take around one to one and a half hours. There is also a souvenir shop connected with local artisans and family businesses. Leave enough time for the wider visit if you want to include these activities rather than arriving only at the end of the day. Contact the team to reserve a table, discuss vegan requirements and check that day's food choices. Sanctuary admission and seasonal visitor opening hours are separate practical details to confirm when planning a restaurant visit. Use the Mramor location near Badovc Lake for directions; the venue is outside Prishtina's urban centre.

Via Lepanto 1, Frazione Solva, 17021 Alassio

+390182644744

Ristorante La Vigna sits above Alassio in the hamlet of Solva, where its terrace looks across the gulf. A grape pergola, flowers and softly coloured interiors give the osteria a different atmosphere from the busy seafront below. The setting encourages a slower meal, with the view forming part of the occasion and the kitchen keeping the ingredients of the surrounding region in focus. Its cooking brings together the western Ligurian coast, Provence and the Langhe. Fresh pasta, bread and pastries are made in house, and the menu changes with the seasons. Seafood has a central role: raw violet prawns and langoustines, local fish, tuna, octopus and gently cooked salt cod appear among the restaurant's specialities. An oyster selection offers another way to begin a meal by the coast. The pasta repertoire is particularly distinctive. Agnolotti al plin are filled with roast rabbit, while seafood tortelli, tagliolini with prawns or lobster, and Carnaroli seafood rice show the maritime side of the kitchen. Meat eaters can look for Ligurian-style rabbit, Fassona beef and slow-cooked veal. Seasonal vegetables accompany the main dishes rather than being treated as an afterthought. The restaurant also gives careful attention to its wine selection, so the meal can be planned around a bottle as well as a dish. Book a table directly and use the Solva address when arranging your journey: this is a hillside destination above the town. Ask about the current seasonal menu and terrace availability when making your reservation.

Passeggiata Baracca 25, 17021 Alassio

+390182642557

La Prua has welcomed diners to Alassio's seafront since 1978. On Passeggiata Baracca, the restaurant combines three indoor dining rooms with a veranda overlooking the beach. In summer, tables can extend directly onto the sand; in cooler weather, the sheltered spaces keep the sea close to the meal. It is a setting suited to a leisurely lunch, a dinner for two or a celebration arranged with the restaurant. The kitchen draws on Ligurian and Mediterranean cooking while giving individual dishes a contemporary direction. Raw seafood selections follow the day's availability, with prawns, langoustines, oysters and fish prepared to order. Roast octopus comes with anchovy-flavoured crushed potato, tomato and Taggiasca olive, while a courgette flan with Raschera cheese offers a vegetable-based starter. Pasta and rice choices include traditional trofie, seafood spaghetti to share, and Carnaroli rice with trombetta courgette, langoustine and smoked burrata. The day's Ligurian fish can be grilled, baked in salt or prepared in the local style. Other dishes include sesame-crusted tuna, sea bass with basil and grilled Fassona beef with seasonal vegetables, giving companions different ways to build a meal. The wine selection includes regional bottles as well as wines from elsewhere in Italy. Desserts range from an espresso tiramisù to lemon-and-basil ice cream with Ligurian stroscia and strawberry compote. Reserve ahead if you would like a particular seaside setting, and check which outdoor tables and fish specialities are available for your visit.

Passeggiata Dino Grollero 18, 17021 Alassio

+390182660573

Clapsy Alassio stands between the town's narrow shopping streets and the sea on Passeggiata Dino Grollero. Orange accents brighten the outdoor tables, while handmade Vietri tiles carry that colour into the dining room. This was the first restaurant opened by Claudio and Orietta in the Clapsy family, whose story began in 2004. It is a convivial seaside address for pizza, fish and the group's own take on cheese focaccia. The focaccia is an important part of the restaurant's identity. Two thin layers enclose creamy crescenza cheese, with a classic version as well as combinations involving pesto and pine nuts, smoked speck, aubergine or other additions. Claudio learned the method while working in Recco's bakeries and developed the restaurant's own interpretation from that experience. Pizza lovers can choose between the especially thin, crisp style and a separate Neapolitan selection. The thin Margherita pairs tomato, mozzarella and basil; the vegetarian version adds courgettes, aubergine and rocket. Among the Neapolitan choices, Partenopea uses San Marzano tomato and fior di latte, while Campagnola brings grilled vegetables and burrata. There are also richer combinations with sausage, spicy salami and regional cheeses. Seafood and Ligurian country cooking broaden the offer beyond the oven. The restaurant describes its sourcing around the fish markets of Savona and Imperia, regional olive oil and selected Italian produce. It is a useful option when some of the table want pizza and others prefer a restaurant meal. Contact this Alassio branch directly to arrange your table and confirm service times.

Vico Berno 6, 17021 Alassio

+390182640387

Osteria Mezzaluna has occupied Vico Berno since 1993, in a small lane linking Alassio's shopping streets with the sea. Candlelit interiors and outdoor tables among plants and flowers give it the atmosphere of a Mediterranean neighbourhood osteria. Acoustic live music is part of its evening identity, so dinner here can become an occasion to linger as well as a chance to explore the menu. Sharing is an easy way to begin. Boards combine cured meats and cheeses from southern Italy, while pinzimonio pairs fresh vegetables with savoury dips. Mussels can be ordered with white wine and pepper or with basil pesto, potatoes and green beans. The seafood starters also include marinated anchovies and a combination of smoked fish and tuna. Ligurian pasta has a strong presence: trofie arrive with pesto, potatoes and beans, and ricotta-and-herb pansotti are served with walnut sauce. Seafood scialatielli and fish-filled ravioli offer alternatives, while grilled tuna, swordfish and squid move the meal towards a main course. Vegetarian choices include chickpea panissa, grilled vegetables and cheeses; children have their own smaller selection. Desserts range from fruit tiramisù to homemade cakes and fruit sorbets, with moka-brewed coffee to finish. Check the music programme if you have a particular evening in mind. Online table requests need to be made at least 24 hours ahead and require the restaurant's confirmation; call for larger groups or more immediate plans. The published evening schedule includes a Tuesday rest day.

Via Vittorio Veneto 151, 17021 Alassio

+390182648736

Il Barrante combines a Neapolitan pizzeria with a seafood restaurant on Via Vittorio Veneto, close to Alassio's beach. Its family-oriented approach makes it useful for a table whose guests want different things from the same meal: a familiar pizza, a plate of Ligurian pasta or a more substantial fish course. Lunch, dinner and a separate late-afternoon aperitivo service provide several ways to fit a visit into a day by the sea. The pizza list begins with Margherita, Marinara and anchovy-topped Napoletana, then moves into richer combinations. Parmigiana brings fried aubergine and Parmesan to the tomato-and-mozzarella base; Mortazza combines burrata, smoked provola, mortadella and pistachio. There are also spicy salami, four-cheese and buffalo-mozzarella choices, so both a simple order and a more elaborate topping are possible. The kitchen gives equal attention to coastal dishes. Start with Ligurian octopus salad, mussels or anchovies with panissa, then consider seafood scialatielli, spaghetti with clams or trofie with homemade pesto, potatoes and green beans. Grilled fish, mixed seafood fry and pistachio-crusted tuna sit alongside beef, burgers and Ligurian-style rabbit, while a children's selection keeps simpler appetites in mind. Desserts continue the meeting of local and southern Italian influences, with an Alassio hazelnut-and-coffee speciality, classic tiramisù and Neapolitan babà among the choices. The range makes Il Barrante particularly practical for families and mixed groups. Telephone for a table and mention any dietary needs so the staff can guide you through the menu.

Von Blarer-Weg 1, 9404 Rorschacherberg

+41718586262

Schloss Wartegg's restaurant in Rorschacherberg connects its cooking directly with the castle grounds. A 2,500-square-metre biodynamic garden supplies herbs, vegetables, berries and flowers, including heritage varieties grown in the ProSpecieRara garden. The restaurant's garden terrace looks across the English-style park towards Lake Constance, giving a meal here a setting distinct from the waterfront restaurants below. The kitchen uses the garden in specific dishes rather than only as a backdrop. Its autumn menu includes pumpkin cannelloni with mushrooms and walnuts, garden leaves with pickled vegetables, and baked pumpkin with parsley root and apple. Vegetarian and vegan dishes are clearly identified, while seasonal availability can lead to changes in the menu. Fish comes according to the catch from local professional fishermen Timon and Claudio Görtz. Other dishes draw on Swiss organic farms, such as filled pasta using Black Angus beef from Biohof Enderlin. The cheese selection comes from organic dairies in St. Gallen. These named suppliers and the garden harvest give guests a useful picture of the restaurant's ingredient-led approach. Lunch has its own changing menus, while the evening offers the main à-la-carte selection. Between meals, there are homemade cakes, ice creams, sorbets and organic teas. Hot food is served during separate lunchtime and evening windows, although the restaurant remains open between them. Reserve a table directly and mention dietary needs in advance; the team can explain the day's preparations and the available seating on the terrace.

Seestrasse 36, 9326 Horn

+41718445151

Al Porto and its Giardino terrace form the Mediterranean restaurant at Bad Horn Hotel & Spa on Seestrasse. Large windows connect the indoor dining room with Lake Constance, while the summer terrace sits directly beside the hotel's harbour. You can book a restaurant table without making an overnight stay part of your plans. The seasonal menu combines fish, meat and vegetable dishes. Recent autumn choices include whitefish with lemon-and-caper beurre blanc, sea bass with polenta and roasted vegetables, and pikeperch with porcini fettuccine. A veal cordon bleu with prosciutto, smoked mozzarella and basil gives a Mediterranean variation on a familiar Swiss dish. The selection changes, so treat these as examples of the kitchen's style. Vegetarian diners have dedicated dishes such as mushroom fettuccine and baked pumpkin, while tomato-and-basil fagottini are specifically marked vegan. Desserts range from tiramisu with plum ragout to apple tarte tatin and homemade ice cream. Between the main meal periods, a separate smaller menu provides snacks and sweet options for a shorter stop by the water. The current main menu gives separate lunch and dinner service windows. Booking is advisable, particularly for the waterside terrace; at busy times the restaurant may allocate different evening sittings. Accessible facilities and parking are listed by Switzerland Tourism. Discuss dietary requirements with the service team when reserving, and ask which terrace or indoor tables are available for your visit.

Bahnhofstrasse 17, 9326 Horn

+41718414140

Costa Verde brings a Spanish menu to Bahnhofstrasse in Horn. Host Paco Galan's restaurant offers a particularly wide choice of fish and seafood, together with grilled meat and traditional starters. It is an evening address through most of the week, with an earlier opening on Sunday and Monday as the closing day. The starters make it possible to explore several familiar Spanish flavours. Choices include tortilla, octopus salad, Galician-style octopus, marinated anchovies, Manchego cheese and cured ham. Prawns appear grilled, on skewers or in garlic sauce, alongside squid, mussels and clams. A few starters can introduce the seafood emphasis before a larger plate. Among the main dishes are a mixed fish-and-seafood grill, sole, turbot and monkfish. One monkfish preparation combines the fish with prawns and shellfish in a clay pot. Meat options include lamb chops, marinated skewers and grilled veal, pork or chicken. Paella is available only by advance order for at least two people, making a telephone call important if that is what you want to eat. Dessert keeps the Spanish thread with homemade crema catalana and a nougat ice-cream cake, alongside other ice creams. The menu gives a choice of potatoes, vegetables, rice or salad as accompaniments. Contact the restaurant directly to book, arrange the paella and discuss dietary requirements. Check kitchen service before arriving late, since the published closing time describes the restaurant rather than a guaranteed last food order.

Seestrasse 68, 9326 Horn

+41718400324

Lido is a restaurant on Seestrasse in Horn, with a modern setting beside Lake Constance. Silvia Hafner's restaurant combines a regular menu with changing weekday meals and seasonal dishes. It is a useful local choice when you want familiar Swiss-style cooking and a broad selection, rather than a meal built around a tasting menu. The main menu includes minced meat with macaroni and apple sauce, homemade meatloaf, pork piccata and several schnitzel preparations. Cordon bleu receives particular attention, with pork or veal versions and fillings that include the Bündner combination of cured ham and cheese. Smaller portions are listed for guests with a lighter appetite. Fish choices include crisp pikeperch pieces with tartare sauce and perch fillets with almonds, rice and vegetables. Vegetarian alternatives include tomato spaghetti, fried Camembert with salad and a vegetable schnitzel. The weekly menu offers another way to choose, so look at the day's dishes before deciding from the main card. The team can explain the allergens in individual preparations. Lido opens in the morning throughout the year, but closing times change between summer and winter. A brunch takes place on the first Sunday of each month from 08:00 to 11:00 and requires a reservation. Breakfast platters can also be arranged on weekdays by advance request. Call directly for a table, to confirm winter kitchen hours or to organise a breakfast visit.

Seestrasse 66, 9320 Arbon

+41714475757

Restaurant Seegarten is part of the family-run hotel on Seestrasse in Arbon. It serves breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a sunny terrace and an indoor restaurant. The kitchen keeps a relatively compact seasonal menu alongside changing daily offers, making it a useful choice for a meal after exploring Arbon or the lakeside cycle route. Swiss classics sit alongside fish and vegetable dishes. The published late-summer selection includes Zurich-style sliced veal with homemade rösti, breaded pork schnitzel, pikeperch in white-wine sauce and perch in beer batter. Vegetable lasagne with mushrooms and homemade spring rolls with an edamame-and-glass-noodle salad provide meat-free alternatives. Since the card changes with the season, check the current dishes rather than expecting the same preparations year-round. The restaurant names its regional suppliers, including dairy products from Molkerei Fuchs in Rorschach, fruit and berries from Tobi Seeobst in Egnach and vegetables from an Arbon supplier. Its ingredient declaration also distinguishes imported fish and meat, so regional sourcing should not be read as a claim that every ingredient comes from Lake Constance. The hotel welcomes family celebrations and other group occasions, with separate rooms that can be arranged with the team. For an ordinary meal, the main practical detail is the split kitchen schedule: hot food is served at lunchtime and again in the early evening, although the restaurant opens from 07:30. Telephone or email for a table, to discuss a group menu or to confirm the latest seasonal selection.

Località Fridau 1, 11025 Gressoney-Saint-Jean

+393339528419

Ristorante Mont Néry is the restaurant of the Villa Fridau residence in Gressoney-Saint-Jean. Its name goes back to the Locanda Mont Néry, which the family's great-uncles Erwin and Pina Monterin ran in the village in the 1950s. Today Marysa looks after the dining room and chef Boris Melon runs the kitchen. The cooking is Aosta Valley and Piedmontese, built on produce from close by: the valley's cured meats and cheeses, fresh pasta made in the house with a choice of sauces, and game served with polenta. The ice cream is homemade, in flavors that follow the season, and Boris and Marysa are glad to suggest a bottle from the wine list.

Piazza Tache, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366809

Castore & Polluce stands on Piazza Tache, the square at the heart of Gressoney-La-Trinité, and is open from eight in the morning until late at night. The day starts with espresso and homemade cakes; later the kitchen serves modern dishes made from local produce, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free choices. There are three places to sit: the terrace on the square, the Castore room - an alpine lounge around the bar - and the quieter Polluce room, where the wine is kept. An AIS-certified sommelier looks after around 250 labels and leads tastings, and in the ski season the day ends with after-ski sets from a DJ.

Località Bedemie 11, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366803

Morgenrot is a chalet restaurant in the meadows of Bedemie above Gressoney-La-Trinité, run by its owner, Giorgio. The kitchen keeps to the Aosta Valley: fondue chinoise, polenta concia rich with melted cheese, and zuppa alla valpellinentze, the local soup of bread, cabbage and fontina baked in the oven. The wine list stays close to home too, with labels from the Aosta Valley and Piedmont. In winter the chalet sits in deep snow and is reached on skis during the day. For dinner a snowcat picks guests up and brings them back down again, which turns an evening meal into a small expedition. In summer it is a walk across green pastures.

Località Bettaforca 6/A, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+393520972727

Ristoro Colle Betta sits at 2,727 meters on the Bettaforca pass, right where the Sant'Anna-Bettaforca chairlift arrives, in the middle of the Monterosa ski area between the Gressoney valley and the Val d'Ayas. In winter skiers stop on the snow terrace facing the Monte Rosa massif; in summer hikers come up on the trail from Stafal or ride the lifts via Sant'Anna. The hut is large and spread over two floors. The menu mixes Aosta Valley and Piedmontese dishes with pizza, sandwiches and toasts for a quick stop between runs, the cellar holds a good range of wines, and the bar serves beer, coffee and hot chocolate. It is open for as long as the lifts are running.

Località Sitten 16, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366300

Ristoro Sitten is a mountain refuge at 2,300 metres above Staffal, in the Monterosa Ski area, with Monte Rosa filling the view from the terrace. In winter it is reached on skis or with the Sant'Anna cable car from Staffal; in summer the cable car and a 4x4 shuttle bring walkers up, or it is a hike. Run by the Comola family's company, it works as two places in one. At lunchtime it is a self-service with quick dishes, hot sandwiches and Aosta Valley plates for skiers and hikers; in the evening it becomes a restaurant with regional cooking, and on Saturdays in season a high-altitude dinner with a snowcat ride up after the lifts have closed. There is a wood-fired hot tub outside for those staying the night, and beds for anyone who wants to be first on the slopes.

Località Tschaval 5, 11020 Gressoney-La-Trinité

+390125366157

FZRY - short for FitzRoy - is at Tschaval, where the road ends at the head of the Gressoney valley and Monte Rosa fills the view. A young team runs the bar and restaurant, which has a fireplace and two dining rooms that mix old alpine wood with a modern look. The kitchen reworks Aosta Valley classics with produce from nearby: fassone beef fillet with lime and pink pepper, beef cooked slowly and served with tuna sauce, fresh tagliolini with artichokes and guanciale, or cheek braised in Torrette red wine and served with polenta and glazed shallots. The menu changes with the seasons, and the bar pours cocktails and wines from many regions. Tables can be booked online, by phone or on WhatsApp.
