I would like recommendations for restaurants in all 3 cities please! All price points are fine too.

Hi rhonda,

If you enter "city name AND Restaurants" in the 'search this forum' box, you will get dozens.

Of course, somre threads on restaurants in these three cities are better than others.

Let's hear from some relatively newer contributors who have combed through the hundreds of threads on this - - have been there <i>recently</i> and can point &quot;rhonda&quot; to some of the better info here on this forum.

Best wishes,

Rex

Our favorite in Venice is Alle Testiere. It is small, moderate to high in price and has wonderful and innovative seafood. Reservations are a must and should be made well in advance. Also suggest you check Chowhound.com for suggestions.

We were in ROme and Venice last month. Our favorite restaurants in Rome, based on recommendations here, were L'Orso 80 and for pizza Baffetto Pizzeria.
In Venice, we enjoyed Da Raffaele.

Based on our trip last year I would recommend:

Rome - Da Cesare on Piazza Cavour. I had a wonderful mushroom fettucini plus saltimbocca with spinach and roast potatoes

Venice - Corta Sconta in Castello - Eat the best food I had in Italy in a little courtyard. The Gnocchi in Lobster Suace and Tagliatelli in Mussel sauce were memorable

Also went to Florence, but no restaurant really stood out for us.

Bon appetit !!
