Gambero Rosso: Rome + Naples
@allende
Fantastic. I am looking forward to your advice when I head to Piemonte some time in the next 24 months!
Gambero Rosso: Rome + Naples
@allende - love that you are such a straight shooter.
What is a good example of a young team doing regional cuisine in Rome?
Also, where are your favorite places to eat in Rome?
Hope I didn't repeat too much of what is already on the board.
Gambero Rosso: Rome + Naples
@ allende Thanks for the thoughtful commentary. I had lunch with a chef yesterday in HK who recently received a Michelin star and we were talking about how some Chefs completely engineer their foods to achieve certain stars. Leading to the next questions, do up and coming Italian chefs care about the stars or GR scores like the French?
Also, I know this has been touched on a few times but any recommendations for Naples. I am staying there for four nights. I have read Plotkin's section on Naples and the region and the book is unquestionably old. I have no idea whether I should even trust has recommendations. I do appreciate the context / knowledge he has shared with me regarding each region's cuisine. I do not have access to the guides that you mentioned and would appreciate it if you could share some of their recommendations for Naples.
Thanks.
Gambero Rosso: Rome + Naples
Thanks barberinibee and jenkalb.
Where online could I view the ratings for Naples? Perhaps an Italian website?
I do find that CH had lined reviews regarding Naples.
Fyi Plotkin writes a great book.
Looking forward to your response
Ideas for lunch before Football match at Stadio Olimpico in May?
Thanks it makes a lit of sense. The plan is to go to the Vatican first thing in the morning. Finish around midday and go to pizzarium before the march.
Gambero Rosso: Rome + Naples
To all the residents in Italy. How is the Gambero Rosso guide viewed in Italy as it is rarely referenced on CH. I am looking for restaurants in Rome and Naples and would be great to see what restaurants are rated.
The results appear quite well protected by GR as I can barely find them anywhere. The blogger Tavole Romane often references their scores.
Looking forward to hear your thoughts. I find Michelin ineffective in Rome. I care the most about the food scores and less about the others.

I am planning for my Rome trip in May and looking to go watch a football match at Stadio Olimpico. Any suggestions for where to have lunch? The matches start at 2pm. Thanks.
reservation at tickets and waitlist?
Thanks Degan. This basically means all of April is booked and no bookings can be made in Feb.
i.e. if you booked 3 months ahead in Jan for April. All the bookings in April will be full so no booking online for April.
one night in Prague and Budapest
Thanks Sasicka. What a shame on La Degustation.
I will check out Lokal and Aromi for dinner. I have a party of 14 people.
Anyone else have anything to recommend?
one night in Prague and Budapest
Sadly, when I am there this summer, La Degustation will be closed. I will be there for two nights and looking for restaurants of that level. Any suggestions? Thanks.
New Years in Amsterdam?
On the contrary. I am trying to find something to eat for New Year's eve. I've tried to call Ciel bleu and Vermeer but they are both closed for the holidays. Any suggestions?
I'm looking for something centrally located, serving delicious food. Thanks guys.
december honeymoon in Paris -- food recs needed!
Are you guys finding that many restaurants are closed during the whole Christmas week?
Any solutions?
Open during Christmas Holidays?
Can anyone confirm whether Chez Michel is open during the holidays? (Dec 24-28)
