BOOKS #3 Michelin Guide Italy 2023 BY MICHELIN TRAVEL PUBLICATIONS euro 21,76 With an exceptional number of 385 stars, the Michelin Guide 2023 shows a new quality record for cuisine in Italy, one of the fields in which the Bel Paese excels without fail.

If the star is also awarded annually to the best restaurants on the peninsula, then in some cases the change of chef confirms the quality of entrepreneurs and new talents in the kitchen. This is the case of the San Giorgio and Nove in Liguria, the Venetian restaurants Oro Restaurant, Local, and Wistèria, the Castello di Fighine in Tuscany (again under the wing of Heinz Beck), Il Refettorio and Il Faro di Capo d’Orso Andrea Aprea in Campania, Gusto by Claudio Sadler in Sardinia, and finally, in Turin, Carignano and Spazio 7. And Antonino Cannavacciuolo, with his Villa Crespi on Lake Orta, conquers three stars, bringing the number of three-starred restaurants in Italy to 12.
