Shanghai Italian Restaurant List
Italian restaurants in Shanghai are some of the best. I’d argue that Shanghai would rank near the top worldwide with its diverse Italian restaurant scene. Here are the some of the top ones I have visited and haven’t.
Italian Restaurants I have visited and posted about. Pane e Vino – a small restaurant that seems to be crowded every night. One of my friends favorites. 207-7 Maoming Lu, near Yongjia Lu, 中国上海市卢湾区茂名南路207号, 近永嘉路, +86 21 5465 2177
Da Macro 大马可意大利餐厅 – An Italian friend of mine loves this place. But make sure you go to the original. 103 Dong Zhu’an bang Lu, near Zhenning Lu, 东诸安浜路103号, 近镇宁路 +86 21 6210-4495
8 1/2 Otto e Mezzo Bombana – This new restaurant, the Michelin-starred original is from Hong Kong, brings its take on fish and meats. Rockbund, Associate Mission Building, 6-7/F, 169 Yuanmingyuan Lu, near Beijing Dong Lu, 圆明园路169号6－7楼, 近北京东路, +86 21 6087 2890
Colabo 水城, 衡山店 – This underrated restaurant features a great crab pasta. 156 Fenyang Lu, near Taojiang Lu, 上海市徐汇区汾阳路156号, +86 21-64373793
Others I have either visited and haven’t written about Bocca – Opening this month, April 2012, Bocca features great views of the Pudong Skyline. I was at the opening party just a couple of weeks ago. Tried many of their great dishes. The Kitchen Salvatore Cuomo – Right on the waters of the Huangpu River, Salvatore is one of the more expensive restaurants in Shanghai. They feature great pizzas. Went there with a small group. Issimo – Located in the Jia Hotel, in the Jing’an Temple District, Issimo has been an expat favorite for years. Had a great experience with a large group of friends.
