Quale (interrogative adjective)
‘Quale’ means ‘which’ and must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies; here it is masculine singular to match ‘ristorante’.
Ristorante (masc. sing.)
A masculine singular noun meaning ‘restaurant’. No article is needed because the question already specifies it.
Ha (avere, 3rd pers. sing.)
The present‑tense form of ‘avere’ used for third‑person singular subjects – here the implicit ‘ristorante’.
Buone (adj. fem. pl.)
Adjective ‘buono’ must agree with the noun it qualifies, ‘recensioni’, which is feminine plural, so the form is ‘buone’.
Recensioni (fem. pl.)
Feminine plural noun meaning ‘reviews’. It is the object of the verb ‘ha’.

Cultural Tip
In Italy people still rely heavily on word‑of‑mouth and online platforms like TripAdvisor, Google Maps, and TheFork. When asking locals, it’s polite to start with “Scusa” or “Mi scusi” and you’ll often get suggestions that include family‑run trattorie that may not appear high on the internet but are beloved by residents.
