The Michelin Guide Italy 2027 has 27 new Stars, announced in Piacenza on 12 November. Three restaurants move up to Two Stars and 24 win their first, while no restaurant was promoted to Three. The selection now counts 382 Starred restaurants, 12 fewer than a year ago, according to MICHELIN’s summary of the 72nd edition.
No restaurant was promoted to Three Stars, and Italy’s top level goes from 15 names to 13.
Three new Two-Star restaurants: Fiumicino, Rome and Modena
Two of the three are in Lazio. Pascucci al Porticciolo, the fish restaurant of Gianfranco Pascucci at Fiumicino, takes its second Star, and MICHELIN’s inspectors describe it as a point of reference for seafood cooking and for its welcome. In Rome, Orma Roma moves up with Roy Caceres, whose menu joins Colombian and Italian cooking. The third is in Emilia-Romagna, the host region. It is Al Gatto Verde, at Casa Maria Luigia in Modena, where Jessica Rosval cooks over fire.
Italy now has 40 Two-Star restaurants, two more than in the 2026 guide.

Seven of the new Stars were in the rounds we followed: Akoya, Quid, Ulìa, Osteria Arbustico and 1224 Restaurant Cortina were among the 20 names added in September, and Mamesa and Baldo Vino among the 25 added in October. Region by region, our full lists cover Piedmont’s 34 Starred restaurants, Tuscany’s 39 and Campania’s 48.
The 2027 guide in numbers
| Distinction | 2027 guide | 2026 guide |
|---|---|---|
| Three Stars | 13 | 15 |
| Two Stars | 40 | 38 |
| One Star | 329 | 341 |
| Starred restaurants | 382 | 394 |
| Bib Gourmand | 276 | 255 |
| Restaurants in the selection | 1,988 | 1,971 |
The selection as a whole grows by 17 restaurants, to 1,988. The Starred list is shorter by 12. Most of the movement is at One Star, which 329 restaurants now hold, against 341 a year ago. The Bib Gourmand goes the other way, with 276 addresses, and Emilia-Romagna leads that table alone with 39, ahead of Piedmont with 36, Tuscany with 24, Lombardy with 23 and Lazio with 21. The Green Star does not appear in MICHELIN’s summary of the 2027 selection.
Thirteen Three-Star restaurants, and no new one
MICHELIN’s list of the Three-Star restaurants for 2027 has 13 names: La Rei Natura by Michelangelo Mammoliti in Serralunga d’Alba, Piazza Duomo in Alba, Villa Crespi in Orta San Giulio, Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, Enrico Bartolini al MUDEC in Milan, Dal Pescatore in Canneto sull’Oglio, Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico, Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli in Verona, Le Calandre in Rubano, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence, La Pergola in Rome and Reale in Castel di Sangro.
That is two fewer than in the 2026 guide. Quattro Passi, in Nerano, closed during the year and is due to reopen in a new hotel at Massa Lubrense in May 2027, as Scatti di Gusto reported. Uliassi, in Senigallia, moves to Two Stars after eight years at Three, as Identità Golose reports. The ceremony opened with a tribute to Nadia Santini of Dal Pescatore, the first woman in Italy to hold Three Stars, who died at the beginning of November. Her restaurant keeps them. The 13, with chef and cuisine, are in our list of Italy’s Three-Star restaurants.
Four special awards and five desserts
The Young Chef Award went to Simone Lezzerini of N’uovo Vino e Cucina in Sutri, which won its first Star on the same morning. The Service Award went to Stefania Lepore of Casa Koplè by Luigi Lepore in Francavilla Angitola, in Calabria. Andrea Bravaccini of Ristorante Del Lago, in Bagno di Romagna, took the Sommelier Award. The Opening of the Year Award went to Juan Camilo Quintero of Quid in Rome.
Quid had a full morning. It left with the award, a first Star and a place on the Passion Dessert list, which MICHELIN gives for the quality of the sweet course. The five restaurants on it for 2027 are Verso Capitaneo in Milan, Quid and Orma Roma in Rome, Lorelei in Sorrento and Charleston by Giovanni Solofra in Palermo.
The Luxury.it perspective
This is a year of consolidation. The top level has two names fewer and no new one, and the Starred list is shorter than it was. The movement is lower down and further south. Lazio takes two of the three promotions and three first Stars, Sardinia gets three new Stars in one morning, and Sutri, a small town north of Rome, has the Young Chef of the year. For a traveller the practical news is Rome. Orma Roma is now at Two Stars, Quid and Nomos Ante have their first, and Fiumicino has a Two-Star fish restaurant a few minutes from the airport. Book early. Tables at newly promoted restaurants are the first to go. Our preview of the ceremony has the numbers the guide started from, and the calendar of the 2027 ceremonies has the dates for Spain and the rest of Europe.
