This time of year expect warm and sunny days, and pleasant evenings.

But even though these temperatures may seem perfect, you'll want to pack the lightest layers possible, as Italy is not immune to heat waves during June.

A few of our favourite places to eat in Lake Como are:

• Il Beccaccino is nestled amidst the vibrant hues and fragrances of the Pian di Spagna protected reserve. This eco-friendly restaurant on Lake Como, situated in the charming village of Sorico, is a must-visit for enthusiasts of both nature and exquisite cuisine. The restaurant seamlessly integrates with its environment following a transformation. It has a floating open bar as well.
  
• Figli Dei Fiori Bistrot is a beautifully chic, flower-filled eatery specializing in high-end dining in a relaxed yet elegant setting.
  
• Il Gatto Nero is a luxurious yet rustic-chic venue with one of the most breathtaking lake views from its perch on a promontory spanning from Cernobbio to Mount Bisbino. Featuring a panoramic stone terrace and a snug lounge enveloped by palms and flowers, it's a place where you might chance upon encounters with celebrities.
  
• Crotto Valdurino is a local tavern built partially within a cave. Open since 1882 and still run by the same family, it used to be a freezer cellar where food was stacked. Located in Vergonzano, a district in the secluded village of Moltrasio, it’s a no-frills place with a homey, sleepy vibe and great lake views; offering rustic cuisine.
  
• La Darsena has a beautiful terrace overlooking the waters and the mountains beyond, it is the perfect place to enjoy a seasonal menu that is constantly changing, and features creatively reinterpreted local dishes.
  
• Trattoria del Porto has great views of the lake! Situated on the outskirts of Careno village, this enchanting stone cottage by the lake exudes a dreamy and timeless charm, nestled in one of the serene and less-explored corners of Lake Como.

A few of our favourites are:

Traditional

• Cibrèo Trattoria is a popular trattoria serving Tuscan classics. It is often crowded, and there is no point in trying to book a table as they don’t take reservations.
  
• Trattoria Cammillo is something of a Florentine institution, it's located on the south bank of the Arno by the Ponte Vecchio.
  
• Vini E Vecchi Sapori is small, crowded and noisy but full of character! The “No pizza, no cappuccino, no ice, no takeaway” notices say it all. This is a place to feast on competently-prepared Florentine classics such as liver-topped crostini, pappardelle pasta with duck sauce, and peposo, a hearty, pepper-centric beef stew.

Fine Dining

• Essenziale: As its name suggests, Essenziale, on the Piazza del Cestello, has only the essentials: loud music, bright lights, stone floors, and bare tables save for water glasses and folded napkins. There’s nowhere to hide, and nothing masking the excellent food. Menus are based on seasonal, regional, and local ingredients; add the odd global influence, accomplished technique, and real flair into the mix and the results are always interesting—sometimes sensational. (short drive/short walk)
  
• Regina Bistecca: Regina Bistecca isn't a secret, nor is it tucked away in some off-the-beaten path alleyway in Florence. It is simply the city's premier spot to indulge in the city's iconic dish of bistecca alla Fiorentina. The steaks here are expertly handled and prepared one-way, very rare, as it is meant to be consumed. (short walk)
  
• Ristorante Santa Elisabetta in the heart of the historic center of Florence, is a 2* Michelin-star restaurant offering minimalist, essential, pure cuisine.

We love:

• Le Volpi e L’Uva: A great pre-dinner stop! Tucked away off the Ponte Vecchio is one of the most revered wine bars in the country. Part shop, part bar and local hangout, Le Volpi pours and sells bottles that uniquely represent the Italian wine landscape, highlighting passionate producers.
  
• La Terrazza: On the rooftop terrace of Hotel Continentale is one of the best views over Florence... and also a fantastic spot for a pre-dinner glass of wine or cocktail! Regardless of where you end up this evening, La Terrazza is definitely worth a stop.
  
• Il Santino: The wine bar of Il Santo Bevitore is just a short walk from the restaurant. It's a easy-going and quaint atmosphere with seasoned sommeliers to help guide you through their wine offerings.
  
• Enoteca Pitti Gola e Cantina: An extensive cellar of Tuscan wines paired with regional dishes on a terrace opposite Palazzo Pitti in Oltrarno.

Rome is wonderful to explore on foot, we recommend you pick a direction and walk to see daily Roman life in action!

• If you are into vintage designer finds check out Mercato Monti Urban Market, where you'll find handcrafted accessories and other treasures from local artisans. Nearby Via del Boschetto is lined with chic boutiques selling clothing and jewellery from independent designers
  
• Giardino degli Aranci is great to survey the Eternal City in citrus-shaded splendour from the heights of the Aventine Hill.
  
• For a spot of more secret sightseeing, peek through the keyhole of nearby Villa del Priorato di Malta for a hedge-framed glimpse of St Peter’s Dome.
  
• Villa Doria Pamphilj is Rome's largest park, divided into manicured gardens, stretches of forest, pine groves, and sections of wild vegetation.
  
• Testaccio Market in a lively central neighborhood of Rome, is full of bakeries offering freshly baked bread, stalls showcasing fresh produce, fish markets, butcher shops, and delicatessens.
  
• Porta Portese is a wonderful flea market for browsing - open a Sunday. It's a great spot for finding unique treasures.
  
• Pigneto is a neighborhood popular with Italian college students and thirty-somethings. It's rough around the edges but if you are interested in urban spaces and street art; it's worth checking out.

Some of our favorite Rome eateries are:

• Felice a Testaccio is a simple, family, trattoria-style atmosphere. Without a doubt, one of the standard-bearers of Latium cuisine.
  
• Bistrot 64 boasts the attractive, informal decor of a bistro combined with surprisingly creative and imaginative cuisine.
  
• Moi is a small and decidedly smart place. A chef cooks fresh seasonal ingredients with modern techniques, which can also change daily.
  
• Prati Rione Gastronomico offers a varied menu ranging from bistro to pastry, from cocktail bar to bakery; as well as a pizzeria. Well-made cuisine - the choice is limited, but the quality is tantalizing!
  
• Piccolo Buco is an exceptional pizzeria where you can choose from pizza Roma, spaghetti carbonara and exotic salami.
  
• Taverna dello Spuntino has a particularly striking interior. From its old tufa passageways converted into a wine cellar in the basement, to its charming dining rooms with brick-vaulted arches where hams, flasks of wine, fruit and antipasti all form an attractive display.
  
• Santa Palato is a trendy yet authentic local eaterie that is sure to impress.

Some of our recommendations are:

• Pipero is a 1-Michelin star restaurant, long-favoured by food enthusiasts in the capital, with simple dishes which are nonetheless full of character.
  
• Aroma is a 1-Michelin star tribute to the city and the aromas of Mediterranean cuisine that is served here together with local specialties. The dishes are seasoned by the chef with a touch of creativity.
  
• La Pergola is a 3-Michelin star restaurant and Rome’s most famous roof garden. It's also considered to be the most international restaurant in Italy.

Check out these places:

• Jerry Thomas Speakeasy: A speakeasy in the truest sense (you'll need a password to get in!) with elevated cocktails in a moody, old-world bar with leather armchairs & a roaring '20s theme.
  
• Magazzino Scipioni: An industrial wine bar steps from the Vatican City perfect for a night cap or mid-day pick me up!
