Top 5 Cheese Shops in Italy

Ausserprags 38, 39030 Braies BZ, Italy

“Beautiful shop like a museum. But because it’s like a museum, it’s not the most welcoming place. I’d also recommend and personally prefer to shop at local small family farms that have delicious jams and other farm fresh products! This place seemed overpriced for what it was.”

Via di Serpiolle, 7, 50141 Firenze FI, Italy

“The environment is very characteristics. The road to get there might be tough but the kitchen will pay you back. Amazing food. Truffle and fiorentina amazing.”

Via Liguria, 1, 35030 Rubano PD, Italy

“Excellence for anything especially for the two iconic dish such as photo 1 and 2. The point is that it is called like cappuccino, but the mian ingredient is 🦑. Secondly for the past (photo 5) and the photo 3 such as Milan Risotto. Above dishes they are best in such restaurants i tried in Hong Kong, London , China mainland and Vienna.”

Via Velia, 2, 84091 Battipaglia SA, Italy

“Very kind and helpful staff. Finally found proper buffalo milk ice cream, butter and yogurt!”

Via dell Ospedale, 22, 12062 Cherasco CN, Italy

“Great, great restaurant, with a typical yet innovative cuisine. The chef is putting together both the cornerstones of the traditional Piemontese tasty cuisine (such as raviolini del plin, tajarin, finanziera, chiocciole, torta di nocciole) with elements issuing from international (e.g. paté de foie gras, caramelized onions), to build really tasty yet delicate dishes. The "Torta morbida di nocciole con zabaglione caldo", among the desserts, is unmissable and unforgettable! The wine card is complete, i.e. not limited to the piemontese wine cellar, with all good quality wines. For example, with tried a relatively "basic" Dolcetto di Dogliani (2018), so a normal wine, not very old and not so far from the area, yet it was a really nice surprise, with 14° alcohol and a definitely good structure. Average prices and friendly staff. We stepped in the place today for the first time, having found it through word of mouth, and we stepped out really happy. We'll be back!”

Via Giuseppe Garibaldi, 137, 52100 Arezzo AR, Italy

“Quick but luxurious lunch at a Cheese shop”

Km 194+700, SS7, 37, 81050 Pastorano CE, Italy

“Best Mozzarella in the world!”

Via Bettino Ricasoli, 53, 53013 Gaiole In Chianti SI, Italy

“The food was absolutely delicious! We were very full by the second course but it didn't stop us from eating the rest. Lovely setting, staff wonderful. I'd highly recommend coming here.”

Via Trento e Trieste, 17, 31032 Casale Sul Sile TV, Italy

“N 1”

Corso del Guercino, 45, 44042 Cento FE, Italy

“Very welcoming place, typical Emilian cuisine, all of good quality. Quite rich platter, excellent first courses and the Petroniana cutlet was practically a sheet. We waited a bit to eat but the place was full and that's right, the only flaw is that we ended up at a table at the entrance and when they opened and closed the door it was cold, our fault as we booked for practically half an hour Before. I will definitely go back and recommend it, it was a truly pleasant evening, I enjoyed everything and we left happy.”

Via Castello, 4, 39040 Niclara BZ, Italy

“Great winery! Really friendly and knowledgeable sommelier who even spoke four languages. Really impressive. The restaurant was amazing (such a beautiful courtyard). The food was really good and the portions were really great for the price. I was surprised about this and ended up ordering too much accidentally. Lastly the building and grounds were beautiful and accessible. This was a very memorable experience in Südtirol for me.”

Via XXII Marzo, 5, 21052 Busto Arsizio VA, Italy

“Extremely good food quality and very nice wine. Staff is super gentle, careful and helpful. If you happen to be around, I’d recommend to check it out; maybe not for a cosy and warm dinner but for a very enjoyable friendly and proper Italian aperitivo!”

Via Alle Late, 18, 38010 Fai della Paganella TN, Italy

“absolutely beautiful restaurant. Lovely views, helpful staff, delicious food. We had the risotto cooked to perfection, a wonderful piece of beef, and for sweet - a semifreddo - fantastic! my daughter is gluten free and they accommodated her easily.”

Vicolo dell'Olmo, 3, 00044 Frascati RM, Italy

“Amazing atmosphere and service, feels very local. And the wine must be the best I’ve ever tasted!”

C.da Fonte Ginepri, 4, 66040 Rosello CH, Italy

“This is a wonderful place, hidden in the middle of the valley. We came in late for lunch but the staff kindly invited us to sit and relax. We asked our host to serve us a combo of their different specialties. All dishes were exquisite. I reluctantly had to leave unempty plates otherwise I would not have been able to taste everything. Before heading back, you can buy fresh homemade products from their grocery store. I definitely recommend to stopover at this place if you are visiting the area. You can't be disappointed!”

Corso Vittorio Emanuele II, n°92, 70121 Bari BA, Italy

“The restaurant is exactly what it advertises to be, a place full of mozzarela. The dishes were nice and tasty, but at times the cheese part seemed a bit excessive. The overall concept is really nice and a place to check out if in the area! Might be an idea to book a table in advance, as the place seemed rather full every time we went past it. The service was also friendly, the only thing missing being a coat hanger.”

Via Anfiteatro, 4, 20121 Milano MI, Italy

“Intimate, great quality, great service. We were looking for a place close to our hotel with a high rating in both Google and Trip Advisor, we found Taglieri e Biccheri, a restaurant specialized in italian finger foods (Taglieri di prosciutto e formaggio) and we could not be more satisfied. Excellent service and Very welcoming crew, great soundtrack and options of wine. Certainly will come back in my next trip to Milano.”

Via Panfilo Castaldi, 24, 20124 Milano MI, Italy

“Simple yet sophisticated wine bar. Delicious food and wine. Make sure to book because it’s small place. Thanks to Andrea he was great. €80 per person”

Via Marco Emilio Lepido, 72, 43122 Parma PR, Italy

“This establishment provides a great tour of their small batch production of official parmigiano reggiano. They only make 18 wheels a day meaning they're very small and personable to interact with. You'll get to experience everything from production (morning tour only) to the magnificently smelling aging room. They also have a super easy location to reach in Parma! There is a small shop in the front that sells their cheese, balsamic, and meats among other items.”

Via Ottorino Ambrosi, 1, 25014 Castenedolo BS, Italy

“Parmigiano-Reggiano is an Italian hard, granular cheese produced from cow's milk and aged at least 12 months. It is named after the producing areas, the provinces of Parma, Reggio Emilia, the part of Bologna west of the Reno, and Modena; and the part of Mantua on the right/south bank of the Po. It is an expensive cheese because It all comes back to specific bacteria. These good bacteria only grow in this area of the world, making it physically impossible to create this cheese in its true form anywhere else. There are only 329 dairies in the world that can make this cheese, which helps add to the price. One of the best ones is the one that Ambrosi company offers.”
