Tip

If you are going to spend Christmas or another holiday in Italy, be sure to not make reservations at the last minute, especially if you are in a small town; this is because not all restaurants open. The tip is also valid for those traveling in August: this is the month chosen by most places for holidays (it is the height of the Italian summer), and they do not care at all to close to stay one month on the beach, so: stay smart and get organized in advance!

For our simulation, we will choose one of the best rated restaurants on The Fork, Ossimoro. On the restaurant’s page at The Fork you will find information about menu, discounts, address, map and much more. Everything very complete… it’s fantastic!

Here, you will choose the date, the time and the number of people. Once the choice is made, just click on continue, as shown below.

Tip

Some restaurants only open for dinner, that is, you will not find a reservation for lunch, of course; but if you want to find alternative ‘times you can filter the results in the tabs on the left that we mentioned at the beginning.
