In big cities like Venice, Florence and Rome it is best to use a restaurant guidebook. But in the smaller towns you can find great places by walking around, reading menus, peaking inside, smelling the cooking smells, and asking a local. Most regular guidebooks have good restaurant recommendations. Still it is always fun to have a food guidebook, to explain regional dishes to you, and a list of recommended restaurants, so you can plan a day trip based on having lunch in a town with a good restaurant, or find a special place for dinner. Many of the restaurants in the rural areas of Italy are very good. We were pleasantly surprised to find that most of the restaurants we went to in both Florence and Rome were good. When we were in Venice several years ago, we thought the restaurants were not nearly as good as those we found in the Tuscan countryside. They were expensive and you were rushed through your meal. But there are great restaurants in Venice - go with a good restaurant guidebook or list. Go to our Trip Planning section for a list of food guidebooks.
