The best Italian food in Estonia, according to the experts: the Michelin Guide and 50 Top Pizza have both weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Gianni comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Tallinn.

Rank 1. Gianni
Italian
Smoked glass windows look out onto a busy Tallinn street, so you can people-watch while the city does the same to you. Gianni is an old-school Italian restaurant that has been around forever, with a café side for coffee and cake and a proper dining room where the team has been doing this long enough to mean it. The menu runs through every Italian classic you already know, which is precisely the point.

Rank 1. Osteria il Cru
Italian
An olive tree grows out of the middle of the dining room, which tells you most of what you need to know about where this cosy hotel osteria is headed. The kitchen leans into Italian classics, stuffed zucchini flowers and parmigiana alongside homemade pastas, with the odd personal detour from the chef. Split between the basement and ground floor of an Old Town hotel, it's an easygoing room that doesn't ask much of you beyond showing up hungry.

Rank 3. Margherita Pizzeria
Pizzeria
A small family-run pizzeria in Tallinn's old town, where the Italian-style pies come out with a pronounced crunch rather than the soft, floppy fold you might expect. The room is tidy and classically furnished, with outdoor tables in summer when the medieval backdrop does the decorating. The menu runs beyond pizza to starters and mains, though the Diavola 2.0, spicy salami with stracciatella and 'nduja, is the one people talk about. Ranked 45th in 50 Top Pizza Europe.
