It features the best Italian restaurants in the U.S. and Italy, luxury travel experiences, exclusive wineries, chef interviews, and insights into high-end hospitality.

Inside ZAFFERANO & Co. Magazine
Discover what makes us different: restaurant reviews, exclusive recipes, travel guides, Italian wine, authentic products, and more — all curated by Italians, for those who truly love Italy.
Each month, we spotlight the most authentic Italian restaurant in the United States — selected through in-person visits, Italian-led ownership, ingredient integrity, and respect for true Italian tradition. This isn’t about hype or social media fame — it’s about excellence. We highlight restaurants that bring real Italian cuisine to life: handmade pasta, DOP ingredients, proper service, and a story that reflects Italy’s soul. Our editorial team investigates everything — from the kitchen to the wine list — to ensure one thing: what you’re eating is genuinely Italian. No shortcuts, no imitation, no compromise.

The Italian Table – Recipe of the Month
Four recipes. One table. Every issue includes one starter, one pasta, one main course, and one dessert, curated by Master Chef Gianluca Deiana. Authentic, regional, and explained step-by-step — with wine pairings, chef tips, and zero shortcuts. Cook like Italy deserves.
Around Italy
Traveling through Italy is not just about visiting — it's about understanding. In this section, we take you across all 20 Italian regions, from the Alpine beauty of Trentino-Alto Adige to the sun-drenched coastlines of Sicily and Sardinia. Our editors — all Italian, all local — share real recommendations: where to eat, where to stay (hotels, B&Bs, Airbnbs), what to avoid, how much to spend, and how to experience each place like a true Italian. We explore family-run trattorie, boutique hotels, historic cafés, coastal towns, wine routes, cultural gems, hidden piazzas, and Sunday markets. Whether you’re planning a luxury escape or a local-style road trip, Around Italy gives you honest, insider advice — no clichés, no tourist traps. Just Italy, the way Italians live it.
