The Best Italian Restaurants in the Center of Prague

Prague visitors are often surprised how popular Italian cuisine in Prague is. But it's not really surprising for locals as the country is only a few hours drive from the Czech Republic and Italy is one of the most visited countries by Czechs. Same as most people, they love good pasta, pizza, risotto, lasagne or tiramisu. Some restaurants are owned by Italians living in Prague, but you can also find great places run by enthusiastic Czechs. Choose one of the restaurants from our list and enjoy the best Italian meals in Prague!

Meet Our Staff - Jane



Jak by ses popsala pěti slovy?
Je dost náročné popisovat sebe sama. Myslím si, že jsem energická a cílevědomá. Snažím se být empatická, nápomocná a doufám, že jsem i pracovitá.
How would you describe yourself in five words?
It is very difficult to describe yourself. I think I'm energetic and ambitious. I try to be emphatic, helpful and hope I'm hardworking too. 

 Jaká je Tvá pozice u Prague City Apartments?
V Prague City Apartments pracuji na pozici recepční. Ovšem kromě klasických úkolů plním i jiné, například průvodce. Moc ráda hostům povím zajímavosti o lokalitě, místech, které stojí za to navštívit a hlavně kdy. Těší mě, když check-in a delegatura nejsou pouhým formálním úkonem.
What's your position at Prague City Apartments?
I work at Prague City Apartments as a receptionist. However, my job is not only about the classic receptionist duties but also about the additional service, f.e. guiding. I like telling our guests interesting facts about location or places which are worth to visit and when as well. I like the fact that check-in and delegation is not just a formal task. 


Jak obvykle probíhá Tvůj pracovní den?
Jeden z důvodů, proč mám moji práci tak ráda, je to, že je opravdu různorodá. Nicméně mám vždy úkoly, které spadají do každodenních povinností. Na směnu nastupuji v 8 hodin ráno. Dopoledne je ta část dne, kdy se připravuji na příjezd nových hostů. V 11 hodin je check-out, takže se také s hosty loučím. Přibližně od dvanácté hodiny hosté začínají přijíždět na recepci, což znamená, že přichází hlavní úkol dne - check-in a delegace. Delegace je v případě, jakmile je apartmán připraven. V průběhu celého dne odpovídám na emaily hostů a plním jejich nejrůznější přání - nákup potravin, rezervace míst v restauracích, výletů či exkurze s průvodcem. V 8 hodin večer končí má směna. Tehdy si s nočním recepčním předáváme důležité informace a úkoly.
How does your working day usually look like?
One of the reasons why I like my job, is that it's really various. However I always have to complete tasks which belong to my daily duties. I start my shift at 8 o'clock in the morning. At 11 is our check-out time, therefore I have to say goodbye to our guests. Around noon the new guests are arriving which means the main task of the day is approaching - check-in and delegation. Delegation is possible as the apartment is cleaned and ready. During the whole day I'm replying to emails and fulfilling the wishes - like grocery shopping, making reservations at restaurants, trips or guided excursions. My shift ends at 8 o'clock when I pass all important information and tasks to the night receptionist. 

Dokáže Tě na práci něco překvapit?
Jak jsem již říkala, práce recepční je velmi rozmanitá. Díky tomu se setkávám se spoustou zajímavých a veselých okamžiků.
Is there something what can surprise you at work?
As I already said, my job is very various. Thanks to it I'm experiencing loads of interesting and funny moments. 

 Co Tě baví ve volném čase?
Ve volném čase nejraději navštěvuji divadlo, výstavy nebo se také ráda procházím Prahou. Pokud je zrovna vhodná sezóna a dostatek času, ráda cestuji za památkami do zahraničí.
What do you do in your free time?
I like going to theatre, exhibitions or just walking through Prague. I like travelling abroad for sightseeing depending on the season and time. 

 Jaké předměty Tě ve školy bavily a jaké ne?
Mezi mé nejoblíbenější předměty ve škole patří literatura, dějepis, dějiny umění a ekonomie. Na vysoké škole mám zatím jen samé zajímavé a přínosné předměty. Největší potíže mi dělalo účetnictví na střední škole. Věřím, že na vysoké to půjde lépe...
What were your favourite school subjects and what not?
My favourite subject at school is literature, history, history of arts or economics. Now, at university, all my courses are interesting and a real pay off. My biggest trouble was accounting at college. I hope it will get better at university...

Jaké je Tvé oblíbené místo v Praze? Co bys doporučila hostům Prague City Apartments navštívit?
Jedním z mých oblíbených míst v Praze je čtvrť Hradčany. Doporučuji hostům vyjet tramvají č. 22 do zastávky Pohořelec a odtud sejít dolů až na Malostranské náměstí. Má to úžasnou atmosféru, jak ráno, tak večer. :)
What's your favourite spot in Prague? Which place would you recommend to guests of Prague City Apartments?
One of my favourite places in Prague is Hradčany quarter. I recommend to our guests to use a tram no.22 and go to Pohořelec stop and from there walk down til they reach Malostranské náměstí (Malá Strana Square). It has an amazing atmosphere no matter what day time it is :)

Why are serviced apartments great for families?

We've been amazed by the number of families who have chosen to stay at our residences over the past years. Reading all the great reviews from parents and grandparents encouraged us to write this post..

 Why are serviced apartments great for families (so our guests say):
  •  You can eat in if you don't want to go to a restaurant. Kitchens in our residences are all fully equiped and have a comfortable dining area. Our guests can prepare their own meals on their own schedule - if you want breakfast at midday, it's up to you!
  •  If you need an extra bed or a baby cot, we are happy to prepare it in your apartment for free.
  •  Having the space to chill out makes all the difference. You can enjoy the freedom of a full apartment with living room, bathroom, full kitchen, and separate bedrooms.
  • The free daily maid service means you don't have to clean up and can spend more time with your family.

  • Fully equiped with everything you might need in daily life - hairdryers, espresso makers, ironing facilities, dish-washer, washing machines, microwave ovens, safe boxes, Sat-TV.. you can feel like at home!
  • Better price then hotels. If you split the price per apartment between more people, the cost is much better than prices of many comparable hotels.
  • Staying in an apartment gives you the freedom to be completely independent to make the choices that works best for you.

    •
  • Arriving late and no time for shopping? Let us know what would you like to have in you fridge on your arrival and we will do the shopping part for you!

    •
  • 24/7 Reception Desk = nonstop assistance with anything regarding your stay. Booking a restaurant? Fixing a broken baby cot? Tips where to go with kids? Anytime you need help, we are here for you.
