We start this week with the scent of olives, oregano and pizzas in our nostrils. And for good reason: this Monday is International Italian Food Day. It's an opportunity to cook a typical Mediterranean dish or to reserve a table in one of the country's best restaurants. There is no shortage of Italian establishments on Grand Ducal soil. We have therefore selected our favourites to help you make your choice and celebrate this day with a good meal. Whether it's pasta al ragù, pizza or bruschetta, anything goes today.

Basta Cosi
Not one, but two establishments with the same name can be found in the capital. The lovely adventure of the first "basta Cosi", which began on rue Louvigny, near the Place d'Armes, continues at the

Their cuisine is homey and generous. The concept of Italian-style fast food is very appealing, with authentic products prepared in front of you, to
quality even when you are in a hurry.

The place is trendy and very nice, but above all, you eat well. And Italian too. Their wood-fired pizzas are delicious. To share with friends, with a good cocktail or a glass of wine. What more could you want?
