Caffè Arti e Mestieri

Reggio Emilia


Tucked back off the street around a lovely interior garden, this is Reggio's best spot for an elegant dinner. Chef Gianni d'Amato launched this new venture after his Michelin-starred Rigoletto was destroyed by the region's 2012 earthquake. In agreeable weather, the ivy-draped outdoor courtyard is absolutely wonderful.
