Gambero Rosso: understanding awards, discovering places

A wine, a restaurant, a pizzeria or a food product: Gambero Rosso's recognitions offer different starting points for discovering people and places. Apulica connects them with the regions it covers, keeping the guide name, edition and recipient clear. This reading is also designed for international travellers who want to understand what makes an address or a product distinctive.

A closer look

Vini d'Italia focuses on wines: an award needs to be read alongside the wine name, vintage and producer. Ristoranti d'Italia explores dining experiences; Pizzerie d'Italia covers pizza; Top Italian Food focuses on food products. Each guide has its own editions and categories.

In Montepaone, Calabria, BOB Alchimia a Spicchi receives the 2027 Pizzeria of the Year award. In Castel di Sangro, Abruzzo, Reale reaches 99 points in Ristoranti d'Italia 2027. These different stories introduce people and local food culture, with recognitions attributed to Gambero Rosso and links to their sources.

A selection concerns the product named in the guide. Top Italian Food 2027 includes Solania's Pomodoro San Marzano dell'Agro Sarnese - Nocerino Dop: the producer's name is an essential part of that reference. The same care applies to an award-winning wine, preserving its name and vintage.

In our pages about local excellence, each recognition retains its date and a link to its source. The surrounding region adds context: landscapes, craft, people and traditions to discover before travelling.
