Italian Restaurants in Durrës
Bari is one night's ferry away, and Durrës learned Italian cooking up close. The city's Italian restaurants make their pasta by hand, bake pizza in wood-fired ovens and marry Adriatic fish with the recipes of Puglia: linguine with prawns, seafood risotto, octopus with potatoes and tiramisù to finish. Many of them are seafood restaurants at the same time.
L'Avenir on Rruga Agaveve serves pasta and fish in a room with a wine wall to the ceiling, Oyster is the beachfront Italian restaurant hung with rattan lamps, Pastarella on Taulantia cooks Italian and seafood on the upper floor of a tower above the promenade, and Bounty in Golem moves between Mediterranean and Italian cooking in its seafront hotel.
A plate of pasta and a glass of wine cost 1,200 to 2,000 lek, while a full Italian dinner with fish runs 3,000 to 5,000 lek per person. In summer book the terrace a day ahead, especially for Saturday.
