Rank 1. Pastamara
Sicilian
Cocktails mixed tableside on a rolling cart set the tone at this Sicilian restaurant on the first floor of the Ritz-Carlton Vienna. The chef's cooking is rooted in Mediterranean tradition and leans heavily on Sicily, with the kind of ingredient quality that makes a simple pasta feel like a deliberate argument. A six-course tasting menu runs evenings; à la carte holds the room the rest of the day. It placed 25th on the 50 Top Italy world list.

Rank 2. Via Toledo
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A Neapolitan pizza spot in Vienna's eighth district where the dough is made with three types of flour and each pie comes with a staff recommendation for which wine to drink alongside it. Italian ingredients arrive on a regular schedule, and the room fills early enough that there's a queue on a Tuesday. Ranked in the top 20 on 50 Top Pizza World, which in this particular niche carries some weight.

Rank 3. Trattoria Martinelli
Southern Italian
The branzino arrives either buried in a salt crust or grilled, and either way it's the thing the table next to you ordered first. This Italian trattoria sits in the courtyard of a Baroque palace on Freyung, which sounds improbable until you're actually there under the vaulted ceiling or out on the terrace. The family behind it has been at this for decades, importing ingredients from Italy and keeping the menu rooted in southern tradition.

Rank 5. Piazza Colombo
Neapolitan Pizzeria
A rotating oven anchors the dining room of this Neapolitan pizza spot on the ground floor of a stately Vienna hotel. The kitchen turns out properly charred, contemporary-leaning pies with a pronounced crust, alongside a long menu of pasta for anyone whose loyalty wavers. The bar counter with stools is made for an aperitif, and Italian wines keep things appropriately themed. Listed in 50 Top Pizza Europe's Excellent Pizzerias.

Rank 5. Sette
Roman
Roman-style pizza in Vienna's seventh district, where the dough is long-fermented and hydrated enough to make Neapolitan purists quietly nervous. The kitchen pairs each pizza with a cocktail, which sounds gimmicky until it doesn't. Fried starters, including supplì, come first, and the room keeps things low-key and unhurried. It reads like something transplanted from a fashionable Milan side street, which is more or less the point.
