Gambero Rosso

Gambero Rosso, founded in 1986, is Italy's leading food-and-wine publisher. The Ristoranti d'Italia guide (from 1990) rates venues on Italian flavour: ingredients, cleanliness of cooking, service, menu and wine. Forks (forchette) go to restaurants; slices (spicchi) go to pizzerias; each scale runs 1–3.
