United States | Washington, D.C.
Our favorite Italian restaurant in D.C., Centrolina serves delectable homemade pastas and seafood (the simply grilled fish specials are great) in a downtown location. The cocktails and desserts are fantastic as well.

Il Buco creates delectable Mediterranean-Italian dishes in a welcoming farmhouse setting. Expect incredible pastas, fish, steak, and lamb. There's also an outstanding wine selection, with special emphasis on Italian wines.

A nice spot for lunch or dinner on Cefalù's bustling Piazza Giuseppe Garibaldi and conveniently located near the end of the hike to Rocca di Cefalu. We had salads and pizzas, all of which were great.

A charming restaurant in Sicily's Ortigia neighborhood that fuses French and Sicilian cuisines. We loved the fish and meat dishes, as well as the salads and the wine. There's a nice outdoor seating area in alley next to the restaurant.

This cozy restaurant nestled into a small square in Taormina served one of the best meals we've ever had, in every way. The vegetables were excellent, the truffle pasta was outstanding, and the fresh fish was amazing.

Rumored to have the best food in Castelbuono, this cozy restaurant serves up delectable traditional Sicilian food and wine.
Spain
Maybe you think it's strange that we're recommending an Italian restaurant in the heart of Catalonia, but we really are. This place was wonderful. Any restaurant where you have a ring a bell to get in (we didn't know about that and followed another party in) is bound give a different experience.
Sweden
Vapiano is an Italian franchise with a unique payment system. Though not unique to Stockholm, Vapiano offers tasty pizzas and salads and delicious fresh pastas. The prices are also reasonable for Stockholm, and the happy hour drink prices are great.
