Ambiente Pizza Nuova
The latest idea from the Ambiente team is this cool 1st-floor space next door to the Kotva shopping centre, filled with big tables and banquettes with picture windows overlooking náměstí Republiky. For a fixed price (295Kč per person before 6pm, 328Kč after) you get an all-you-can-eat deal – either help yourself from the salad and antipasti buffet, or choose from the hot pasta dishes and pizzas offered by a band of wandering waiters (buffet and pizza-pasta combined costs 475/515Kč). Wine by the glass is around 75Kč.

Danico
DaNico has earned a reputation as one of the best Italian restaurants in Prague, and it’s easy to see why – Italian staff, fresh produce and ingredients imported from Italy, classic Mediterranean dishes such as carpaccio of smoked swordfish, linguine con vongole (pasta with clams), penne all’arrabiata (pasta with tomato, basil and chilli sauce), and homemade tiramisu, a range of regional Italian wines (expensive!), and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. Bookings recommended for Friday and Saturday evenings.

Allegro
It’s been a long time coming, but Prague finally has its first Michelin-starred restaurant. The dining room at the Four Seasons Hotel oozes understated elegance with lots of polished wood panelling and Art Deco–style glass, and boasts a terrace with stunning night-time views of the floodlit castle. A superb setting for superb food – the Italian chef turns out inspired dishes that range from steamed tiger prawns scented with jasmine tea to fillet of turbot served on fennel compote with a squid and lime broth.

Kogo
Chic and businesslike, but also relaxed and child-friendly (highchairs provided), Kogo is a stylish restaurant serving top-notch pizza, pasta, steak and seafood – the rich, tomatoey zuppa di pesce (fish soup) is delicious, as is the risotto alla pescatora (made with squid, mussels, shrimp and octopus). There’s also a good range of wines available by the glass. On summer evenings, tables filled with conversation and candlelight spill over into the leafy courtyard.

Ambiente Pasta Fresca
Slick styling and service with a smile complement an extensive menu at this busy Italian restaurant. Choose from dishes such as melt-in-the-mouth carpaccio of beef, piquant spaghetti aglio-olio with chilli and crisp pancetta, and rich creamy risotto with porcini, along with a wide range of Italian and Czech wines. There’s a long, narrow café at street level, but you’ll find a more formal, intimate cellar restaurant located down below.

Da Emanuel
This small, elegant Italian-owned place, on a quiet residential street, is one of Dejvice’s true destination restaurants. The main dining room, perched romantically below an arched brick ceiling, holds around a dozen tables, each with a vase of fresh flowers and covered in white linens. Try the tagliata con rucola (tender slices of filet mignon sprinkled with rocket) or the mussels, served in a salty tomato sauce. Since it’s small, you’ll have to book in advance.

Osteria da Clara
This relaxed Italian trattoria features both excellent home-made cooking and a funky, retro ‘70s ambience that’s authentic down to the velveteen sofas by the door and the blaxploitation soundtrack wafting through the speakers. The three-course set lunch menu priced below 200Kč is excellent value. Try a simple yet delicious zuppa di pomodoro (tomato soup), with fresh basil on top, followed by the calamari, sautéed with courgettes, celery and spinach.

Aromi
Red brick, polished wood, country-style furniture and sprigs of fresh rosemary and thyme on each table create a pleasantly rustic atmosphere in this gourmet Italian restaurant. Brisk and businesslike at lunchtime, romantic in the evenings, Aromi has a reputation for authentic Italian cuisine, from the zuppa di cannellini (cannellini bean soup) to the branzino al guazzetto (sea bass baked in a sea-salt crust; seafood is a speciality).

Cafe-Restaurant Metamorphis
Metamorphis is the place to go if you want romantic outdoor dining (April to October) with a view of the Týn Church spires, but without the crowds and inflated prices of places on Old Town Square. The menu is mainly Italian, including good pizzas and pasta dishes, and gorgeous ice-cream sundaes. The more formal restaurant in the atmospheric Romanesque cellar downstairs offers crisp linen, candlelight and attentive service.

Bellavista
There are several restaurants in and around the Strahov Monastery, all aimed squarely at overseas visitors. This, however, does boast a terrace with amazing views and is upmarket enough to have served the Rolling Stones and Sean Connery. Hell, even the Italian food gets good reviews.
