There are thousands of restaurants in Italy. Some are excellent and very affordable and others that are not worth mentioning. My wife and I like to go to where the "locals" eat and where these restaurants are not looking for the "tourists" trade. The menus are in Italian only and the wait staff will only speak Italian to you.

However, there are many fine restaurants in Italy and in over 16+ years of traveling to Italy, I can count on one hand the number of restaurants that I would not return to for another meal.
