Timberwolves assistant general manager Gianluca Pascucci has a list that is renowned among his colleagues. Born in Pesaro, Italy, Pascucci’s career as a scout has taken him all over the world — and he’s had his fair share of Italian food outside his native country.

On Google Maps, he has the locations of those restaurants on different continents that have cleared Pascucci’s rigorous standards of approval.

“When I started scouting a long time ago, I said I’m not going to eat Italian food outside of Italy,” Pascucci said.
