This is the best Italian restaurant in the world

You can really make me happy with a good Italian restaurant. A great pasta, perfect in all its simplicity. Delicious. Of course, a good Italian wine to go with it and then my happiness can't get any better. By now, I know how to find the best Italian restaurants in Amsterdam, but outside the Netherlands, my knowledge stops. And you can easily go wrong with Italian tourist traps, unfortunately.

Fortunately, the organization 50 Top Italy has compiled a ranking of the best Italian restaurants in the world — so there's a good chance that there's one near your holiday destination. Curious about the top ten? Here they come.

1. Da Vittorio Shanghai – Shanghai, China
2. Don Alfonso 1890 Toronto – Toronto, Canada
3. Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura – Tokyo, Japan
4. Il Carpaccio – Paris, France
5. Fiola – Washington DC, U.S.A.
6. Sesamo – Marrakesh, Morocco
7. Locanda Locatelli – London, United Kingdom
8. Il Lago – Geneva, Swiss
9. Rezdôra – New York, U.S.A.
10. Buona Terra – Singapore, Singapore

for the kitchen apron from WITLOFT. here If you want to see the full top 50, I can already disappoint you: no restaurant in the Netherlands made the list, unfortunately. And yes, the first place is for a restaurant in Shanghai. In fact, no restaurant in the top ten can be found in Italy. Quite strange, right?

No, the 50 Top Italy has a separate list with only restaurants in Italy. These two lists are announced again every year, but in the list of the world's best Italian restaurants, they never include restaurants in Italy. So if you're heading to Italy, you can here find that entire list.
