Rank 1. Da Vittorio Shanghai
Italian
The Cerea family's fine-dining room sits on the third floor above the Bund, all comfortable bourgeois elegance with a wine list to match. The kitchen hunts down local Chinese produce and treats it with Italian discipline, which sounds like a concept and eats like a conviction. Paccheri alla Vittorio travels well. Two Michelin stars and a spot in the top five of 50 Top Italy's global ranking confirm the room is playing at a serious altitude.

Rank 2. 8 ½ Otto e Mezzo Bombana
Modern Italian
The mirrored ceiling doubles the snowy tablecloths, which tells you everything about the register here. Umberto Bombana's fine dining room, named after his favorite Fellini film, holds two Michelin stars and a Discovery nod from the World's 50 Best. Besuited waiters can discourse at length on Italian wine regions, and the aperitivo bar runs a negroni fortified with sweet wine and grapefruit bitters, so there's no reason to rush to your table anyway.
