Tip: If you would like to “take a piece of Italy home” with you, it is possible to order a package with all the ingredients to prepare Italian specialties at home. We also recommend visiting other restaurants from Ambiente chain, such as Pastacaffe or Pizza Nuova.

  
La Piccola Perla

Address: Perlová 1, Prague 1
GPS: 50.0836792N, 14.4211683E
https://www.lapiccolaperla.cz/

Although the name of this restaurant is more related to the address in Perlová street, it is a real pearl among Italian restaurants in Prague. It's a cool place for lunch or dinner, where the owner often just exchanges a few words with you and the waiter brings you a glass of limoncello as a parting gift. All this just a few meters from Wenceslas Square.

This Italian restaurant under the direction of the famous chef Riccardo Lucque is located just a short walk from the Old Town Square and a visit is a perfect experience from appetizer to dessert. The pasta menu is narrower, but more refined to the last detail. The professional sommeliers will recommend a suitable wine to go with each dish. The restaurant also excels in the preparation of meats. Next to the restaurant is a shop with traditional Italian delicacies.

Pastař

Address: Malostranské nábřeží 1, Praha 1
GPS: 50.086631045693906, 14.408377972699649
https://www.pastar.cz/cs/

In the beginning was a love of Italian cuisine, which gave birth to a fresh pasta business focusing primarily on fine dining and farmers markets. The products enjoyed great acclaim, so two friends decided to sell pasta in their own business - and Pastař - an Italian restaurant with a family atmosphere just across the bridge from the National Theatre - was born. Don't expect a menu of dozens of items here, but every bite will make you feel like you're in the real Italy. The dishes are simple but perfectly presented and perfectly flavoured. You can also buy their "fresh pasta made with love" to take home.

Extra tips:
For quality and affordable fresh pasta right in the centre of Prague, you can also pop into Pasta Vodičkova (formerly known as Pasta Krusta). It's more of a bistro or pasta bar than a restaurant, where you choose a type of pasta, one sauce to go with it and the chef prepares everything right in front of your eyes. Another popular bistro where you can get good pasta on the lunch menu for a good price is Pizza and Pasta Factory Prague. In the summer, you can also sit in the garden.
