Top 8 Italian food in Beijing, China

February 7, 2020 Moriah Teneyck

Find out what Italian restaurants to try in Beijing. Welcome to a capital city whose story goes back at least 3000 years. In Beijing, you'll find a wealth of history, both ancient (the Hall of Preserving Harmony, Summer Palace, Forbidden City) and more recent (Chairman Mao Memorial Hall, Tiananmen Square). For the best market experience, choose the Dirt Market over the touristy Silk Market. A visit to the Great Wall, the longest manmade structure in the world, is absolutely essential.

MIO Italian Restaurant

Reviewed By ArthurWang095

We came because of the recommendation of friends. Its deco is good, luxury, eye stunning, open bar & kitchen and nice color combination. Its food is ok, after tasting a big variety with pass around style. We had lamb, fish, pizza and lobster pasta as main dishes and we tried soup, salad & tiramisu and ice cream. It is not bad but in average. The service wasn’t up to our expectation. It is under the roof of Four Seasons and it really can be better in many aspects. 我們因為朋友們多次推薦而來,裝潢很好,豪華、令人驚訝、開放吧台和開放廚房及很棒的視覺顏色,食物還好,我們點了很多菜式並用分享方式來用餐,我們有魚、羊排、比薩和龍蝦麵等等主菜,也試了冷湯、沙拉、義大利蛋糕及冰淇淋,不差,但是算是普通,服務不若預期,在四季酒店的品牌之下,很多方面都應該更好。

Opera Bombana

Reviewed By Georges888

This restaurant is quintessentially one of the best Italian restaurants in Beijing. Their attention to detail and quality is unmatched. The ambience is reminiscent of a luxurious opera. You’re surrounded by original paintings depicting Marilyn Monroe. The Truffled Chilean Cod is extraordinarily succulent and smooth. It’s smothered with delectable and ample slices of Truffle not tiny amounts that if you’d blow on the dish they’d disappear. The chef will meticulously slice half a Truffle on the dish as you watch by your table. This is proper degustation as it should be. NOT bird food pounded off as Michelin quality. This is what Michelin restaurants aspire to be. The Hokkaido Lobster Linguine in Japanese Sea Urchin is an absolute marvel. Tasty is an understatement. The pasta is AL DENTE period NOT undercooked and passed off as Al DENTE as you’re apt to find in Michelin restaurants. If you want proper Italian food with an exquisite ambience then this IS the place. It’s pricey but WORTH every penny. The staff is unpretentious, professional, courteous, and aim to please. A testament to their manager and the ultra luxurious hotel within which it finds itself. A trip to Beijing must and should include at least one visit to this fine restaurant. Dear Georges888,Thank you very much for leaving us such a detailed review to share your dining experience with everyone here on TripAdvisor.We are more than glad learn that our food and hospitality expressed have met your expectation and you have enjoyed your time with us. All the members in Opera BOMBANA are dedicated to provide each of our valued guest a pleasant dining experience.Your kind review gives great recognition and encouragement to our service and culinary team. Our team look forward to welcoming you back in your next visiting.

Tonight I ate at Pretoria for my 4th time in three weeks. The food was brilliantly executed by the chef, Antonio. Unfortunately, the service level is what you expect from a cafeteria. This is a rare situation in which the food is consistently excellent and the service is consistently quite poor. The waitstaff appears to be untrained. They are not unpleasant, but don’t seem to really understand what they need to do to offer a good dining experience. From the long wait for a drink, the very miserly wine pour or the necessity to wave someone down to get the check at the end, the service was consistently poor.It is a shame that a restaurant that produces truly fine food from the kitchen could be so completely undermined but untrained, inattentive and indifferent waitstaff. Even though I am staying at the hotel, I won’t be trying this place- despite the fabulous food— for quite some time.

Fratelli Fresh

Reviewed By Bryce S

We had lunch at Fratelli Fresh, an Italian restaurant located in the Renaissance Beijing Capital Hotel. The restaurant is part Restaurant and part wine bar. It's a beautiful and luxurious place, ideal for s romantic lunch or dinner. The lighting is subdued. A wall of wine bins line the window wall facing into the hotel. The tables have plenty of space between them. This is good for business meetings.They start you off with several types of bread along with olive oil/balsamic vinegar for dipping. This was quite good.My wife and I went for pasta. She had a seafood risotto, which had several different types of shellfish. I had a spaghetti dish with shrimp and asparagus. Both were excellent.Service was attentive. They also have several multi course menus or mixed grill type dishes we would like to try.The wine list focused on Italian wines, many by the glass, but they had some of the Italian classics on the list too. I think I saw Brunello di Montalcino and Sassacia on the list.Are there negatives? We tried it once before and thought perhaps the subtle lighting was too subtle, having difficulty reading the menu. That wasn't s problem this time.We liked the pasta dishes. There are some others we would like to try.Dear Bryce,Thank you very much for taking the time to share your experience with us, we are delighted that you had a memorable experience at Fratelli Fresh, we are also delighted to hear that you enjoyed our authentic delicacies and service. We look very forward to welcoming you once again in Fratelli Fresh.Have a wonderful day,Food and Beverage ManagerAllan Li

If you are looking for a western fine dining experience in Beijing check this place out. I just had a tasting meal perfectly cooked and brilliantly presented. Benjamin enhances the experience with flawless service. My suggestion is to sit back and let David drive on exquisite wines to pair with the menu. His knowledge of wine is both amazing and approachable. Just trust him to select the perfect wines to go with your meal. Extraordinary.

An early evening dining solo at Il Ristorante Niko Romito was an epicurean excursion. The restaurant is unbridled luxury, with exquisite Venetian hand blown drinking glasses and unmatched service. My waiter Pubble was AMAZING...attentive, friendly, and super knowledgeable. Brought the chef to my table to explain the mouth watering dishes, starting with a broth reduction with incredible depth to clean the palate, a bright salad, an unusually prepared, rich lasagna, and the tiramisu many rave about paired with limoncello. Though I was sitting in Beijing, my senses were in Italy. An evening to remember and a special treat.Dear Ms.Sundaa J Thank you so much for visiting IL Ristorante by Niko Romito and sharing your dining experience with us! We are very pleased to learn that the dining environment and dishes have been your recognition and recommendation, but also very grateful for the affirmation of Pubble's impeccable service. We are committed to creating a Michelin-rated dining experience for every guest through contemporary Italian cuisine! Thank you so much again for choosing IL Ristorante by Niko Romito and look forward to your next visit.Darren Wang Restaurant Manager
