Antica trattoria Del Tempio stands on Via Creta in Vicobarone, a hamlet of Ziano Piacentino in the Val Tidone. The name is the owners' own and says what kind of house it is: a trattoria, and an old one — the everyday restaurant of an Italian village rather than a destination built for visitors. The opening hours describe how it is used. Lunch is served every day except Wednesday, from midday to half past two. Dinner exists on Friday and Saturday only, from eight to ten. A kitchen arranged that way is cooking for people who eat their main meal in the middle of the day, which in this part of Emilia is still most of them, and it means a visitor planning an evening here on a Tuesday will find it closed. Vicobarone sits in the Colli Piacentini, the wine hills between the Po plain and the Apennine ridge. The province is known for three cured meats with protected status — coppa, pancetta and salame piacentino — and for Gutturnio, the red grown on these slopes. Ziano Piacentino is one of the centres of that production, and Vicobarone is one of its hamlets. We hold no website for this trattoria, so nothing is described here about its cooking. The telephone is the way to ask, and to book. You will find it at Via Creta 6, 29010 Vicobarone, Ziano Piacentino.

Restaurant Apri is part of the Thaya winery complex in Havraníky, south of Znojmo near Podyjí National Park. The restaurant occupies the main building of an architectural ensemble centered on a converted granary. It is a destination for a meal connected to the surrounding wine country: the kitchen works with seasonal ingredients, and the winery's own bottles are an integral part of the experience. Traditional recipes receive a contemporary treatment, with local game, fish and herbs grown around the estate among the elements described by the official tourism sources. Because the menu changes, the emphasis is on the season rather than on promising a particular dish at every visit. Wine tastings can add context to the meal, with a winery specialist explaining the wines and their development in barrels and tanks. The estate also includes accommodation and separate spaces for events, giving groups options beyond a single restaurant table. Its buildings and landscaped surroundings make architecture another part of the visit, alongside food and wine. For guests staying around Znojmo, Apri offers a change of setting from the town's historic streets to a village winery. It would suit a planned outing built around a meal, especially if someone in the party wants to learn more about regional wine. Contact the restaurant ahead for a table or to discuss a group tasting. Dogs are not admitted inside the restaurant.

Hradní 2, 669 02 Znojmo
Enotéka znojemských vín combines a wine tasting room with a cafe in the former brewery grounds on Hradní. The setting connects contemporary interiors with Znojmo's castle area, close to the Rotunda of Saint Catherine. Its central idea is independent exploration: self-service By the Glass dispensers let visitors choose wines and tasting quantities using a rechargeable card. The selection concentrates on the Znojmo wine subregion and brings many local producers into one place. The current wine catalog includes familiar regional varieties such as Grüner Veltliner, Sauvignon, Riesling and Pálava, alongside less familiar grapes and blends. This makes it possible to compare different styles without committing the whole visit to a single winery. There is also a cafe at the entrance, with coffee and locally made cakes, so companions need not all be wine tasters. Inside, dark wooden seating structures occupy different levels within a pale architectural shell designed by Chybik and Kristof. Windows frame views toward Saint Nicholas Church, while the outdoor seating looks across the Dyje valley and historic town. You can approach the venue as a tasting destination or simply a scenic pause during a walk around the castle quarter. The tourism organization also describes spaces available for private celebrations and company events. For a group, discussing arrangements beforehand is sensible; for an individual visit, the appeal lies in choosing your own route through the region's wines.

Jana Palacha 1, 669 02 Znojmo
Sun–Thu 10:00–22:00; Fri–Sat 10:00–23:00
Corso cafe&pizza sits on Jana Palacha beside the central park area of Znojmo, combining a pizzeria with a cafe inspired by the town's older coffeehouse tradition. The restored venue reopened in 2014, and its story draws on the influence of Viennese cafe culture. Pizza uses Italian Caputo flour, with choices including a simple tomato, mozzarella and basil Margherita and richer combinations with cured ham or several cheeses. The wider kitchen also offers pasta, beef burgers, flank steak and Czech svíčková, so pizza need not be the whole table's choice. Desserts are made in the kitchen, and Lavazza coffee gives visitors a reason to stop even when they are not planning a full meal. The separate children's playroom is a practical detail for parents: it is behind glass doors and includes a slide, climbing equipment and toys. The municipal tourism listing places Corso near the town center in the park setting and records an outdoor garden for warmer weather. You can therefore consider it for either an indoor family meal or a break outside during a walk. Its mixture of familiar dishes, coffee and homemade sweets makes planning straightforward when appetites differ. A party can start with pizza and let dessert become a second part of the visit. Tables can be requested by phone or through the booking form, with confirmation sent by text message.

Horní Česká 229/18, 669 02 Znojmo
Půl na Půl brings a pastry shop, a bakery and a coffee stop together on Horní Česká in central Znojmo. The business is run by a married couple whose shared interests are baking, coffee and cooking. French gastronomy is an important influence, alongside ideas drawn from other cooks and pastry makers. Their approach gives equal attention to a cup of specialty coffee and the food beside it. The bread is made with a sourdough culture combining wheat and rye, while homemade croissants provide a lighter, flaky alternative. An open kitchen lets visitors watch the preparation rather than leaving the craft hidden behind a door. Seasonal brunch dishes use local ingredients and the bakery's own bread, so a visit can become a meal as easily as a pause for something sweet. The changing selection makes more sense as a seasonal kitchen than as a fixed checklist of signature dishes. Set within the historic town, it is a useful address to keep in mind while exploring Znojmo on foot. You could make the baked goods the focus of a visit, or choose brunch and leave room to share a dessert. For anyone interested in how a small bakery works, the visible kitchen adds another reason to linger. Table requests are accepted in advance by text message or through the cafe's social channels. A reservation is particularly worth arranging when a table is central to your plans.

Mon–Fri 08:00–22:00; Sat 09:00–23:00; Sun 10:00–23:00
La Familia Café on Horní Česká combines a cafe and an in-house pastry kitchen with a substantial restaurant menu. Its rooms have a retro character, and the central address makes it an easy place to build into a walk around Znojmo. Coffee and a slice of cake are only one way to use it: the menu also moves between Czech dishes, Italian pasta and risotto. Breakfast choices include eggs with bacon and beans, sweet croissant toast and a serving of homemade cake with cappuccino. For a more substantial meal, there is svíčková with bread dumplings, roast pork with cabbage, or schnitzel. Mushroom kulajda with a poached egg offers another recognizably Czech choice. Pasta ranges from garlic and chili spaghetti to cannelloni filled with spinach and ricotta. The pastry kitchen makes cakes and individual sweets, including French macarons and American cheesecake, and accepts custom orders. This range suits a group whose members want different things from the same stop: one person can concentrate on coffee and dessert while another chooses a complete meal. The tourism listing also identifies the venue as a place where birthdays, small weddings and seminars can be arranged by agreement. That makes it worth contacting directly if your visit involves a gathering. Rather than treating it only as a cake shop, think of it as a flexible cafe restaurant with a particularly strong sweet side.

Via Pasteria on Corso Italia does one thing: pasta. The house motto is "for the love of pasta", and the menu is built around it rather than treating it as the first of several courses — which is a departure from the usual Italian structure and the reason the place works for a quick lunch as readily as for dinner. The list changes with the season, and there is a dish of the month alongside it. Recent examples give the flavour of the kitchen: linguine with organic Parmesan, Sicilian lemon, chives and sturgeon caviar; cold conchigliette with cave-aged pecorino, confit tomatoes, Cerignola olives, Sicilian lemon and crusco pepper; paccheri alla Norma with marinated purple aubergine, twenty-four-month Parmigiano Reggiano from Vacche Rosse cattle and salted ricotta; linguine with clams and bottarga. The ingredients are named down to the breed of cow, which tells you where the attention goes. It is open every day, straight through from midday to half past ten at night, with no afternoon closure — genuinely useful in a city where most kitchens shut between three and seven and a late lunch becomes impossible. Corso Italia runs south from the Duomo towards Porta Ludovica, a few minutes' walk from the cathedral and from the Missori metro stop, so this is easy to reach on foot from anywhere in the historic centre. You will find Via Pasteria at Corso Italia 16, 20122 Milano.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

St. Moritz · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood
Via Dimlej 1, 7500 St. Moritz
Mon–Sun 11:30–14:00, 18:00–22:00
Restaurant Engiadina am Innfall stands on Via Dimlej by Lake St. Moritz and the Inn Falls, a short walk from the railway and bus stations. Its food brings Swiss favorites together with pasta and dishes associated with neighboring Valtellina. The result is a broad menu that accommodates a simple bowl of soup, a plate of homemade pasta or a meal built around cheese fondue. Grisons barley soup introduces the regional side of the kitchen, while the cured meat selection combines dried beef, raw ham, coppa and salsiz. Pasta choices include noodles with wild boar sauce, Valtellina pizzoccheri and ravioli prepared in the Engiadina style. Taleggio risotto and potato dumplings with gorgonzola extend the range of cheese dishes beyond the fondue pot. Among the substantial mains are braised veal shank with risotto, Zurich style sliced veal with rösti, and grilled Alpine char accompanied by almonds, vegetables and potato gratin. Beef fillet and a roast beef skewer provide further alternatives. Fondue comes in several forms, from the traditional cheese preparation to versions flavored with tomatoes, porcini mushrooms or champagne. Desserts follow the same generous range of influences. Apple strudel can arrive with vanilla sauce or cinnamon ice cream, while tiramisu, Catalan cream and hazelnut parfait offer different endings. The location beside the lake gives this collection of regional and neighboring culinary traditions a distinctly St. Moritz setting.
Celerina · Italian · Pizza · Mediterranean
Via Maistra 76, 7505 Celerina
Mon–Sun 11:00–21:00
La Piruetta combines an Italian restaurant, pizzeria and bar with the relaxed surroundings of Celerina's Center da Sport. Opened in 2001, it is built around an informal atmosphere where a meal can fit naturally into time spent outdoors. The large veranda looks toward the Engadine mountains, while the neighboring sports facilities give the setting a different character as the seasons change. Skating and curling belong to winter; tennis and the playground shape the warmer months. Italian cooking anchors the menu, with Mediterranean influences, Valtellina specialities and game adding variety. Homemade pasta includes pizzoccheri with cheese, potatoes, cabbage, butter and sage, as well as ricotta and spinach ravioli. Other choices range from mushroom tagliatelle to spicy penne, alongside salads, meat and fish dishes. The pizza selection includes familiar combinations and a Valtellinese version with bresaola and porcini mushrooms. There are also flame pies, including one with gorgonzola and walnuts. Desserts and ice cream are made in house. Walnut cake, apple strudel and chocolate cake sit alongside ice cream cups and affogato, making the restaurant an option for something sweet as well as a full meal. Families are explicitly welcomed, with outdoor activities close enough for parents to watch their children from the terrace. Dogs are welcome both inside and outside. Takeaway includes pizza, ice cream and the restaurant menu, and tables can be reserved ahead for busier periods.
St. Moritz · Thai · Burgers · Vegetarian
Via dal Bagn 5, 7500 St. Moritz
Banfi's is a family restaurant on Via dal Bagn in St. Moritz Bad, with a kitchen that puts homemade preparations at the centre of its cooking. Soups, gnocchi, tagliatelle, burgers and desserts are made in house wherever possible. Its menu brings together familiar Alpine comfort food, Italian influences and a Thai curry, giving the small restaurant a broader range than its location might suggest. Beef tartare and cordon bleu are the two dishes most closely associated with the house. The tartare starts with beef fillet chopped by hand and dressed to order with oil, lemon, onion, capers, cucumber, spices and egg yolk. The cordon bleu uses pork filled with ham and cheese, finished with a homemade rustic breadcrumb coating. Larger versions can be arranged in advance. Red Thai curry offers another direction, combining vegetables, mushrooms and rice with a choice of prawns, chicken or a vegetarian preparation. Homemade gnocchi provide a further reason to explore beyond the signature meat dishes. The printed menu appears in four languages, reflecting the international mix of guests, while the dining room keeps an informal approach. Coffee and aperitivo are also part of the restaurant's role as a meeting place in the neighborhood. Telephone reservations are welcomed, and parties of eight or more are asked to agree on a shared menu beforehand. That arrangement gives a larger table a coordinated meal while retaining the personal character of a family business.
Samedan · Steak and grill · Fish and seafood · Dinner
Plazzet 15, 7503 Samedan
Restaurant Donatz occupies a Swiss pinewood dining room at Hotel Donatz on Plazzet, in the village centre of Samedan. Cornelia and René Donatz run the family business, whose history stretches back to 1974. They took over in 2008, bringing their shared background in professional cooking to a house that combines a restaurant, guest rooms and a separate wine bar. Both trained in the kitchen; René later worked aboard cruise ships, while Cornelia gained experience in hotels in Zermatt and Zurich. The restaurant's signature is Angus beef fillet Woranoff, with flambéing performed directly beside the table. That tableside preparation gives the meal a distinctive focal point, while the pinewood room provides a traditional Engadine setting. Homemade Angus beef steak tartare is another house recommendation. Fish, mussels, mushrooms and venison appear in the restaurant's account of its seasonal cooking, alongside specialties from Grisons and established Donatz dishes. The kitchen introduces new seasonal creations through a culinary calendar, so the selection changes rather than resting entirely on the signature beef dishes. This gives returning guests different ways to explore the restaurant, from regional preparations to seafood or game. A dedicated wine list accompanies the food, and wine forms a substantial part of the family's approach to hospitality. The railway station, village bus stops and Samedan's mineral baths are nearby. Tables can be reserved through the restaurant's online booking service or by contacting the hotel directly.
St. Moritz · Cakes and pastries · Vegetarian · Breakfast
Via Traunter Plazzas 7, 7500 St. Moritz
Restaurant Hauser brings a family confectionery tradition into the centre of St. Moritz. The business arrived here in 1955, when Albert Hauser opened a cafe, restaurant and small hotel after the family's earlier years in Zurich. Today Nina and Nik Hauser carry that history forward, with a restaurant and pastry kitchen sharing the same address on Via Traunter Plazzas. The confectionery remains an important part of the experience, alongside savory cooking and regional ingredients. The restaurant welcomes townspeople as well as hotel guests, and its terrace provides an outdoor setting for a meal. One of the house specialities is Piöda, a hot stone brought to the table so diners can cook their own choice of meat, fish and vegetables. It makes the preparation part of the meal and gives everyone control over how their food is cooked. The kitchen also prepares Grisons specialities and vegetarian dishes. Cakes, patisserie and seasonal sweets come from the house confectionery, with Engadine walnut cake among its familiar products. Behind the food is a family story spanning four generations, from the original bakery and confectionery to the present hotel and restaurant. Architect Robert Obrist gave the building its distinctive form in 1970, placing the new structure on pillars above the existing premises. The family's more recent work includes a permaculture garden in Samedan, another expression of its interest in the ingredients and landscape of the Engadine.
