Three Michelin Star Restaurants in Italy 2027: All 13

Italy has 13 Three-Star restaurants in the Michelin Guide 2027, presented in Piacenza on 12 November. That is two fewer than in the 2026 edition, and no restaurant was promoted to the top level this year, as MICHELIN’s summary of the 2027 selection shows. The 13 sit in eight regions, from the Langhe to Abruzzo, and ten of them are north of Florence.

Towns and cuisine labels are those on each restaurant’s MICHELIN page. The chefs are as listed by the trade daily Italia a Tavola on the day of the ceremony.

Piedmont: Alba, Serralunga d’Alba and Lake Orta

Piedmont and Lombardy have three each. Piazza Duomo, behind its red door in the centre of Alba, serves Enrico Crippa’s cooking in three tasting menus, one tied to the vegetable gardens and the seasons, one to the Langhe and one that travels further. La Rei Natura, at Serralunga d’Alba, is the newest name on the list, promoted in the 2026 guide. MICHELIN describes a cuisine “deeply anchored in its raw materials, particularly vegetables”, most of them from gardens and greenhouses run on biodynamic principles. Villa Crespi is the third. It is “a late nineteenth-century villa in Moorish style” by Lake Orta. The region’s other 31 Starred tables are in our list of Piedmont’s 34 Starred restaurants.

Lombardy: Brusaporto, Milan and the fields near Mantua

Da Vittorio, at Brusaporto outside Bergamo, offers four tasting menus beside the carte, and MICHELIN singles out its generosity. Enrico Bartolini al Mudec is the only Three-Star restaurant in Milan. It is on Via Tortona, inside the city’s Museum of Cultures, with two tasting menus called Best Of and Mudec Experience. Dal Pescatore is the senior name. The restaurant at Runate, in the countryside between Cremona and Mantua, has held Three Stars since 1996, “a record in Italy” in MICHELIN’s words, and it is close to its hundredth year.

The north-east: Brunico, Verona and Rubano

Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler occupies a villa in a park in Brunico that was once part of the Moessmer textile factory. Its kitchen follows the chef’s “Cook the Mountain” philosophy, built on produce from the surrounding mountains. In Verona, Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli has three tasting menus and a chef’s table in a room of its own. Le Calandre, at Rubano near Padua, runs three menus, Classico, Max and Raf, and guests can mix them.

Modena, Florence, Rome and Castel di Sangro

Osteria Francescana is on Via Stella in Modena, with contemporary art on the walls and Massimo Bottura’s cooking, which starts in Emilia and reaches for the international classics. In Florence, Enoteca Pinchiorri fills a seventeenth-century palazzo on Via Ghibellina. It opened in 1972 as a wine shop with a kitchen, and it is the only Three Star among Tuscany’s 39 Starred restaurants. La Pergola, on Monte Mario, has reopened after a refurbishment, and its terrace still has the view of Rome at dusk. Heinz Beck has cooked there since 1994. Reale is the southernmost of the 13. It is in a former sixteenth-century monastery at Castel di Sangro, in Abruzzo, where Niko Romito builds each dish on a few ingredients.

What changed from the 2026 guide

The 2026 guide had 15 Three-Star restaurants. Two are no longer on the list: Quattro Passi in Nerano, which closed during the year and is due to reopen in a new hotel at Massa Lubrense in May 2027, and Uliassi in Senigallia, which moves to Two Stars. No restaurant moved up. Three were promoted to Two Stars instead, and 24 won a first Star, as in our report on the new Stars. With Quattro Passi closed, the list has no restaurant south of Abruzzo.

The Luxury.it perspective

Thirteen is a short list for a country with 382 Starred restaurants, and geography shapes it. Three are in the Langhe and on Lake Orta, three in Lombardy and three between Brunico and Padua. Most are in small towns or in the countryside, which means a car or a taxi, and often a room for the night. Some solve that themselves. Villa Crespi, Da Vittorio and Reale have rooms of their own, and La Pergola sits on the top floor of the Rome Cavalieri hotel. Book months ahead. Tables at this level go first at weekends, in truffle season in Alba and in summer on the lakes. For where to sleep nearby, our list of Europe’s Three-Key hotels is the hotel equivalent.
