No-Fail Italian Restaurant Guide with Prices!

Flipping through photos and missing my Italy trip 😭 Spent a week exploring Milan, Florence, and Rome with my hubby—here are our zero-regret picks, ranked by love! 🏛️ Rome 1️⃣ Trattoria Morgana 💸 Our final meal in Italy—and the BEST surprise! Skipped a crowded spot (P4) recommended by a local friend and stumbled here. Must-try: Juicy giant snails (so fresh!) Rich, flavorful pasta Tender octopus dish 2️⃣ Da Domenico 💸 A local gem hyped on Xiaohongshu (also has a Hong Kong branch!). The chef joked, “Forget the menu—I’ll cook what I feel like!” 🥘 🎨 Milan 3️⃣ La Piola 💸 First stop in Milan! Tried the iconic Milanese saffron risotto—slow-cooked beef was tender, but not mind-blowing. Tiramisu was too sweet for me. 🌉 Florence 4️⃣ Gelateria Santa Maria Novella Near our hotel—creamy, intense chocolate gelato that shames most versions back home. 🍫 5️⃣ Beijing Restaurant 💸 After a disastrous “prefab” Italian meal, two desperate Chinese souls fled here. No explanation needed. 🥢 6️⃣ Unnamed Napoli Pizza Spot Opposite a packed sandwich joint, this place saved us with thin-crust crispy pizza. The sweet chef made me a heart-shaped Margherita—because in Italy, 8/10 pizzas taste like heaven. ❤️ 🍨 Gelato Bonus Gelateria Fassi (Rome): No photo, but life-changing gelato per local friends! #ItalianCuisine #TravelItaly #RomeEats #MilanFood #FlorenceFood #GelatoHeaven #FoodieGuide #NoRegrets #BudgetFriendly
