A romantic dinner, a glass of wine with close friends or a family celebration. Rustico Rothschild is the place. The city’s elders can’t remember what Rothschild Boulevard looked like before Rustico opened, right in front of the historic No. 16 building, where Ben-Gurion promised pasta to whoever set foot in the area, regardless of religion, race or gender. Rustico is a classic Italian restaurant, which means stains of olive oil and the smell of balsamic vinegar, mozzarella ripped between one’s fingers, something which just came out of the oven fresh and warm, a bit of coarse salt and freshly ground pepper. And a glass of wine, of course.

Located in one of Tel Aviv´s historical sites, in the renovated Old Train Station area (“Ha´Tachana”), Italkia Ba´Tachana (“Italian in the station”) restaurant offers a Southern Italian fare of meat, fresh seafood and classically inspired specialties. Best described as rustic in appearance, in a restored building dating back to the beginning of the 20 century, Italkia Ba´Tachana offers delicious cuisine with a full menu of Italian favorites from the kitchen of well known Chef Amir Marcovitz.

Far from the hustle and bustle of Tel Aviv, in one of the magical corners of Jaffa, lies Gemma Restaurant (Italian: Ibn-Chen, Pnina). Chef Rami Aminov is in charge of the restaurant's varied menu, which he designed in the style of a travel diary. After quite a few trips and culinary training in the land of the boot, Rami decided to open a place where he could cook classic dishes with personal interpretation, while maintaining the freshness of the raw materials and connecting them to the place. The pastas served in the restaurant are fresh, and are made daily by hand, the Neapolitan-style pizzas are baked in a special oven, imported from Italy. The chef in the kitchen of Gemma Restaurant is waiting for you and promises to give you an unforgettable Italian-Jaffa experience!
