Koşuyolu, Kadıköy

Rosario creates a classic Italian trattoria mood through stone walls, old copper pieces and wine-lined rooms. Its Sicilian-leaning menu moves from pizza and fresh pasta to meat and seafood, all suited to unhurried lunches and dinners.

Plant-Forward Dining Editor

For Selin, a strong plant-forward restaurant should build its own culinary language without feeling defined by omission. She considers menu range, seasonality, allergen clarity and how prepared the kitchen is for different needs.
