Depends on who you ask though. You have the equivalent of Applebee’s lovers in every country who will tell to go there. You also need to ask them some foodie shibboleths or you’re going to have a bad time.
How carefully do they cook their pasta? what is their favorite family of cheeses? brand of tahini? etc.
In my experience, when one obsesses about food, one sweats the small things that make a difference, and delights in them. Terroir, in other words.
