Tuscany’s 39 Michelin-starred restaurants in 2027, from Florence to the coast

By Camilla De SantisNovember 14, 20265 min readDestinations Desk

Tuscany has 39 Michelin-starred restaurants in the 2027 guide, presented in Piacenza on 12 November. One holds Three Stars, four hold Two and 34 hold One, on MICHELIN’s list of Starred restaurants in Tuscany. The region had 45 a year ago. Two tables are new, eight have left the list, and the total number of Stars falls from 52 to 45, as Il Forchettiere counted the morning after the ceremony.

The cuisine labels are MICHELIN’s own. The list runs by Stars, then by town.

Florence: seven in the city, four on the hills around it

Enoteca Pinchiorri is still the only Three-Star restaurant in Tuscany. It began as a wine shop on Via Ghibellina in 1972 and grew into a palazzo dining room built around the cellar, one of the 13 addresses in our list of Italy’s Three-Star restaurants.

The six One Stars in the city split between hotels and palazzi. Il Palagio is the restaurant of the Four Seasons, with the Giardino della Gherardesca outside its windows. Borgo San Jacopo sits on the Oltrarno bank of the Arno, at the Hotel Lungarno. Gucci Osteria da Massimo Bottura is on Piazza della Signoria. Atto di Vito Mollica, the restaurant once called Chic Nonna, is in Palazzo Portinari Salviati. Saporium Firenze is the city sister of Saporium in Chiusdino, and Luca’s is the Florence table of Paulo Airaudo.

Santa Elisabetta, at the Hotel Brunelleschi, is out of the guide after its closure. On the hills, Serrae is the dining room of Villa Fiesole. La Torre is at Castello del Nero, in Tavarnelle. Osteria di Passignano faces the abbey of Badia a Passignano, on the Antinori estate. Paca, in Carmignano, completes the ring west of the city.

Chianti and the Sienese hills, where the estates cook

This is the densest part of the map. Castelnuovo Berardenga alone has four Stars: Contrada at Castel Monastero, Poggio Rosso at Borgo San Felice, L’Asinello and Il Visibilio. Arnolfo, in Colle di Val d’Elsa, and Campo del Drago, at Castiglion del Bosco near Montalcino, are the two Two Stars of the area.

The pattern is clear. Most of these tables belong to a hotel estate with vineyards, a spa and rooms, so dinner and a bed come as one booking. La Sala dei Grappoli is at Castello Banfi, Il Pievano at Castello di Spaltenna in Gaiole, Saporium at Borgo Santo Pietro in Chiusdino. Linfa in San Gimignano, Osmosi in Montepulciano, Silene on the slopes of Monte Amiata and Il Falconiere in Cortona widen the circle to the south and east. Our guide to the MICHELIN Key hotels of Tuscany beyond Florence covers many of the same estates from the room side.

The coast, from Forte dei Marmi to Porto Ercole

Forte dei Marmi keeps four One Stars: Bistrot, Sciabola, La Magnolia at the Hotel Byron and Lux Lucis on the roof of the Hotel Principe. Two familiar names are missing. Lorenzo, the town’s historic seafood address, is not in the 2027 list, and neither is La Pineta at Marina di Bibbona further south.

Viareggio has three. Il Piccolo Principe, at the Grand Hotel Principe di Piemonte, holds Two Stars. Romano and Lunasia hold One. In the Maremma, Caino in Montemerano keeps Two, Il Pellicano keeps One at its hotel above the sea at Porto Ercole and Bracali holds One at Ghirlanda, near Massa Marittima. In the far north-west, Locanda de Banchieri cooks in the hills of Fosdinovo, close to the Ligurian border.

Baldo Vino and Tosca, the two new Stars

Both new entries are far from the coast. Baldo Vino is on Piazza San Lorenzo in Pistoia, and MICHELIN files its cooking as creative. Tosca is the restaurant of Belmond’s Castello di Casole, a hilltop estate near Casole d’Elsa, where the hotel introduced Daniele Sera’s tasting menus in 2024. They are the only two new Stars in the region, out of 27 new Stars in Italy, all in our full report from Piacenza.

The departures weigh more than the arrivals. Six restaurants closed or stopped, among them Octavin in Arezzo and Atman in Vinci, and two lost their Star.

The Luxury.it perspective

Tuscany’s list reads like a map of its great estates. Outside Florence, most of the Starred tables sit inside a hotel, a castle or a wine estate with rooms, which makes the region the easiest in Italy to plan around a single dinner. It also makes the best tables the hardest to get from June to October, when hotel guests come first.

For a first trip, choose by base. In Florence, Pinchiorri is the one for the cellar and Il Palagio for the garden. In the Sienese hills, Arnolfo and Campo del Drago are the two Two Stars. On the coast, Il Piccolo Principe is the address in Viareggio. Our Florence MICHELIN Key hotels are the place to start for the room. For tables that are full on your dates, our concierge desk can help.
