4 italian places in Munich we have eaten in, sorted by editor score. All cuisines in Munich | Italian across every city.

Munich has one of Germany's strongest Italian eating cultures, a legacy of the city's long-standing southern ties and its self-styled position as Italy's northernmost city. Acquarello in Bogenhausen sits at the refined end, while Osteria Italiana on Schellingstrasse in Maxvorstadt trades on its claim as one of the city's oldest Italian rooms. Garibaldi on Burgstrasse in the Altstadt rounds out a scene that runs from neighbourhood trattoria to special-occasion table.
