The 29 new additions, across 13 Italian regions, comprise 3 Two Stars and 26 One Stars, making a total of 371 Starred restaurants. All 11 existing Three Star establishments have retained their status.
The live-streamed event was hosted by Petra Loreggian alongside Michelin Ambassador Federica Pellegrini, who announced the names of the 13 chefs who have been awarded the MICHELIN Green Star. Containing the 2021 Michelin Guide, the Michelin Ristoranti app for iOS will be available for free from today. The Guide’s paper edition will be available in bookshops from November 26.
Three new venues are awarded Two Stars, bringing the total number of Michelin Two Stars restaurants to 37:
Ristorante D’O - San Pietro All’Olmo (MI)
Having anticipated trends, been quickest out of the blocks and enjoyed huge success with experimental endeavors such as his "pop cuisine", this is a chef who needs no introduction. But dining in his restaurant means getting to know Davide Oldani on a whole new level, packed full of food memories and exciting journeys. He has also earned the Green Star because of his commitment to young staff and instilling them with local values.
Ristorante Harry’s Piccolo - Trieste
As a trading crossroads and cultural melting pot, Trieste is perfectly represented by Matteo Metullio’s extraordinary cuisine. A true local with an open-minded spirit, his best products sometimes travel great distances before reaching the kitchens of Harry's Piccolo, where they are combined harmoniously and innovatively to provide the perfect blend of tradition and modernity.
Santa Elisabetta - Florence
It is said that Campanians are born to cook and that chefs from the region can produce food of the very highest quality wherever they find themselves. Rocco De Santis is no exception. His exquisite cuisine has taken Florence by storm with an explosion of color and imagination.
There are 26 new One Star restaurants in this year’s selection, taking the total to 323. Among the new starred, 16 restaurants represent the young guard of Italian gastronomy since they are run by young chefs under 35 and sometimes under 30 years old.
