The best Italian food in Bordeaux, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and Le Fooding have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Tentazioni comes out on top.
More Less
Capperi and Il Vicolo Rosso hold the next two places. The Michelin Guide shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with Le Fooding next.

Rank 1. Tentazioni
Modern Italian
A small modern tasting-menu restaurant with a Michelin star and a quietly improbable backstory: she's from Brittany, he's from Sardinia, they met in Corsica, and they landed in Bordeaux. The weekly-changing menus lean into Italian instincts without becoming a love letter to the homeland, landing somewhere more interesting. Langoustines, spider crab, and pigeon show up when they should. The lunch menu keeps the ambition but eases the math considerably.

Rank 3. Lume
Italian
A Venetian chef running a single set menu out of a cobbled street in Bordeaux's old town is a premise that should not work as well as it does. Lume is an intimate Italian restaurant where the kitchen leans on seafood and organic vegetables, and the plates arrive on ceramics made by a local artisan. The cooking has a specific northern Italian soul, pasta e fagioli and scallop crudo sharing space with desserts that veer into Japanese territory.
