The 36 best trattorias in Italy according to Gambero Rosso. Listing the venues with Tre Gamberi (the guide’s highest rating)

From last year’s 34 to the 36 in the 2024 edition of the Gambero Rosso Ristoranti d'Italia guide, considering one cut and three new entries. People like genuine, authentic food, they are pleased by friendly dining rooms where they can have a glass of wine with the innkeeper who shares anecdotes and stories from the past. But there are also the second and third generations, promoters of the territories as passionate and involved as their predecessors, capable of surprising with modern interpretations, but respectful of the typical cuisine. And with tagliatelle al ragù that, in some cases, are better than their grandmother's (but whose recipe remains secret). Here is the great and tight-knit team of the best trattorias in Italy.

The 10 best Tre Gamberi trattorias of northern Italy

In Lombardy, six confirmations, two of which are in Milan (the capital) and four scattered throughout the region, from Franciacorta - where Massimo Rossi, the innkeeper of innkeepers, is in charge of a place much much loved by colleagues and foreign customers - to the remote hills of Brescia, to the province of Bergamo, where Visconti is located, which takes the podium this year. One each for the other regions, with recent stories - one of the most emblematic in Turin - and more or less young innkeepers who have rewritten local tradition faithful to the area’s supply chain and small producers. And watch out for the geography: the great trattorias are increasingly metropolitan.
