From $0/night
Concierge "Risotto, a surprisingly popular dish on this tropical island, comes with langoustines and baby artichokes or mussels, clams, shrimp, and calamari."
Fodor's "The chic sister of Santa Monica, California's Via Veneto packs in happy guests for classic Italian dishes, dozens of house-made pasta dishes, prime meats, and a huge, well-chosen wine..." Full review
BlackBook "Santa Monica comes to downtown Gustavia. Arugula salad, prosciutto, and taglietelle that's a needed respite from all the Creole kitchens in the neighborhood."
Travel + Leisure "Beloved by both locals and visitors, this upscale Italian favorite wouldn’t feel out of place in a fashionable city like Milan or Paris." Full review
Frommer's "Tucked inside a vintage Creole house in downtown Gustavia, this très elegant, dimly lit spot is a celebratory place to be, as much for the romantic ambience as for consistently excellent food." Full review
