A
Prado & Neptuno
Dark lighting and tinted windows lure you into this trusty Italian restaurant on the lively intersection of Prado and Calle Neptuno. Stick to the pizza and pasta and choose from a good selection of Italian wines at the bar.

Restaurante la Cova
In Marina Hemingway, this place vies with Paladar Piccolo in Playas del Este as Havana's best pizza joint. Part of the Pizza Nova chain, it also does fish, meat and rigatoni a la vodka (CUC$8). The pepperoni topping is purportedly flown in from Canada.

B
Trattoría Maraka's
Don't be put off by the cheap Formica tables and the pictorial map of Italy on the wall. Real olive oil, parmesan and mozzarella cheese, plus a wood-fired oven, mean that the pizza in this Vedado Italian trattoria is among the city's best. Also on offer are Greek salad, tortellini with red sauce, and spinach-stuffed cannelloni – mostly under CUC$10.

Restaurante la Dominica
Despite a tendency to be a little overgenerous with the olive oil, La Dominica – with its wood-fired pizza oven and al dente pasta – could quite legitimately stake a claim as Havana's finest Italian restaurant. Located in an elegantly restored dining room with alfresco seating on Calle O'Reilly, the menu offers Italy's 'usual suspects,' augmented by shrimp and lobster (CUC$10 to CUC$18). Professional house bands serenade diners with a slightly more eclectic set than the obligatory Buena Vista Social Club staples.
