Awards 2017

30/11/2025: Truly amazing restaurant. Food was outstanding along with the service. Highly recommend attending this beautiful experience when in Sorrento

18/11/2025: Spectacular service and food. So many connected stories to the meal. There was thought and joy put into the meal. This is what you expect with a Michelin star. I think it deserves another. We ate at a Michelin 2-star the same week, and we much preferred Terrazza and we hope to return. Also, between all of the additional tastes between courses, we must have eaten 15 courses. Insane. Wonderful!

09/12/2025: It was an amazing experience at La Pergola. Every single dish was on point. We cannot wait to be back!! 🫶🏻

12/01/2026: Unique atmosphere Impeccable service and food Worth a special trip

08/01/2026: I had the pleasure of enjoying my first Michelin-starred experience at Laite, and I can confidently say it will remain in my heart and my palate. Two dishes in particular deeply impressed me: The gnocchi with Sappadina turnip, cheddar, mint, and porcini mushrooms were a true explosion of flavor: soft, enveloping, with a mint aroma that left me speechless even before the first bite. The chestnut, mandarin, and bay leaf dumpling took me back in time, evoking childhood memories and the magic of my mother's boiled chestnuts with bay leaves. The lingering aroma at the end of every bite is extraordinary. I sincerely thank Fabrizia, Elena, and the entire staff for the care, professionalism, and passion with which they make every detail an unforgettable experience. A cuisine that is not only tasted, but also felt and remembered. I can't wait to return.

31/01/2026: The lovely pink-themed interior of the restaurant really gets me excited. The food was full of surprises, starting with the antipasto. The antipasto was served one after another on small plates, and each dish was accompanied by a little soup, which was fun. The food was also like art, with traditional local dishes beautifully enhanced by the sauces. The bollito was a sophisticated dish. The agnolotti d'alpudding for the primo was also delicious. I chose white truffles, measured the weight, and added to the price. We also had white truffles for dessert. It was a wonderful experience unique to this time of year in Alba, a white truffle producing region.

19/01/2026: One of the most comprehensive menus in the world and one of the best experiences in all of Italy, if not the best. A groundbreaking, all-pink, and elegant establishment. And a menu that begins like no other with the "Piedmontese aperitivo," where up to eleven dishes are served at the table in a single course. This is followed by exemplary risotto and pasta dishes, and, interestingly, you can order an extra salad with 51 ingredients. At €50, I wouldn't order the salad again, but for a first visit, it might be interesting to share it with someone. Three Michelin stars, three The Best Chef knives, and consistently high rankings—all the accolades are insufficient for such an exemplary restaurant.

09/10/2025: We fell inn love with the city San Felice del Benaco, and more with the food here at El Patio. By asking some local boys for restaurant tips, we were escorted by them here. If you’r craving fenomenal authentic italian food with good ambience? You’r cravings will be fulfilled.

01/10/2025: Highly recommended, delicious food and friendly service. The only downside was that there were four of us, and unfortunately, the food didn't arrive together, so some people had already finished their meals.

11/01/2026: A fantastic experience that deserves to be repeated...

17/01/2026: The food is simply excellent: a culinary experience that conquers and is absolutely worth experiencing.

10/01/2026: For a business dinner with my company (so I don't know the per-person cost), this place was truly a wonderful discovery. A secluded location with a beautiful view of the city, a refined interior, kind and friendly service, and splendid dishes, both in presentation and flavor. The wines were also excellent. A wonderful evening that I hope to repeat again.

12/09/2025: The food is of high quality. Some dishes of our menu where quite traditional, others had fun elements and surprising taste combinations. There is no wine parring per dish available, the suggested bottle we took combined beautiful with the food. Service was a bit rushed and insecure, feels like a lack of experience. The dining room itself is ok, nothing special.

09/09/2025: Very disappointed with this Michelin-starred restaurant. I'll start by saying that when it comes to restaurants of this caliber, you expect something more than others. If we don't find excellence here, where will we find it? The place is beautiful. The food is good, I don't argue with that, but no dish amazed us. The start wasn't up to par; they crowded us around, assuming we'd put our jackets behind the backs of the chairs, making us feel immediately embarrassed. There was a lot of initial confusion with the wines. We had a voucher for a culinary experience and five glasses of wine included. Perhaps this confused the sommelier, who, very unsure and after advising us to order a single bottle, suggested three sufficient wines, nothing more, which were never explained during the dinner (we're both sommeliers). We finished the dinner with seven glasses of wine plus two aperitifs, billed separately. When we got the bill, we noticed that we'd been charged for two full tastings. Since we hadn't had them, we politely asked for an explanation. The young man's very annoyed response, "Impossible, we've written down everything," made us feel even more uncomfortable, so we paid the amount indicated on the receipt to avoid arguments. The attempted refund, promptly refused, with €10 on a €560 bill, was the icing on the cake. A very negative experience for us, considering the quality of the venue. It was probably a bad night, but such treatment is unacceptable at this level. We're disappointed by the bad evening, and wish you all the best.

08/01/2026: Cozy place, homely food and good service

06/01/2026: Starred cuisine, dishes with refined and unique flavors.

18/01/2026: One of Italy's most renowned restaurants offers a truly comprehensive experience. Original snacks give way to consistently sublime pasta. On my last visit, I had the smoked pasta, and I absolutely loved it. Everything was perfectly paired with wines, thanks to the sommelier's expert advice, who did an exceptional job selecting them. Without a doubt, a must-visit in the Padua area!

17/01/2026: There's not much to say, you have to try it. It's certainly not for everyone's budget, but it's an experience, a journey, not just a dinner. The flavors, colors, and sensations are indescribable. Impeccable service, always present, never intrusive. Chef Alajmo often passes between the tables to say hello and engages with guests with great kindness and friendliness. A magnificent evening.

05/02/2026: It's definitely worth the two stars!

06/01/2026: Truly a fantastic experience. The place is beautiful and unique, the food is refined and delicious. The staff is knowledgeable and attentive, we'll be back. Hats off!

10/01/2026: A once-in-a-lifetime experience! The menu may be a little too unique, but overall, it was an unforgettable experience.

07/01/2026: The best restaurant and the best experience. Everything was perfect, the ambiance, the staff and the food and everything was definitely worth its price and justified the interest of the audience. After dinner, we were approached by chef Massimo, who is a very warm person and open to talking to guests. I will definitely be back. Thank you for everything to the entire Francescana Family and greetings from Zagreb.
