Usage Note

Recensione is the standard word for a published critical appraisal of a book, film, restaurant, or product. It is feminine, so una buona recensione (a good review). Online the word has expanded to cover user reviews on platforms like TripAdvisor, displacing older critica. The plural is regular: le recensioni.
