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!

08/03/2026: We celebrated my husband's birthday at this fantastic Michelin-starred restaurant. We chose the seven-course menu and wine à la carte. What can I say! Each dish was meticulously prepared and explained at the table, followed by a captivating mix of aromas, flavors, and colors. The staff were friendly, and the brilliant Heinz Beck was a regular guest, and we took a lovely souvenir photo with him.

03/03/2026: I visited La Pergola in Rome with very high expectations—and I can say they were fully met. From the moment you arrive, you sense that this isn't just a dinner, but an experience. The atmosphere is elegant without being stuffy, refined yet welcoming. The view of the city, especially at sunset, is worth the visit alone: ​​Rome unfolds before your eyes like a golden painting. The service is impeccable, yet never cold. I felt truly cared for, with detailed explanations of each dish and an almost sartorial attention to the pacing of the courses. Every gesture of the staff was measured, natural, harmonious. The cuisine is pure art. Each dish was a surprising balance of technique and emotion. Clear flavors, extraordinary ingredients, bold yet always coherent pairings. Some preparations truly amazed me with their creativity, but without ever losing their connection to Italian tradition. The desserts, in particular, were memorable: elegant, never cloying, with perfect contrasts of textures and temperatures. The wine list is monumental, almost intimidating, but the sommelier guided me with expertise and sensitivity, finding pairings that further elevated the experience. It's not a "simple" dinner, neither in terms of approach nor price. It's a restaurant to be experienced on a special occasion, with the desire to be surprised and pampered. I left feeling like I'd experienced something rare: not just an excellent meal, but a gastronomic tale crafted with intelligence, passion, and vision. Would I return? Yes. Not often—because it's a significant experience—but certainly to celebrate something worth remembering.

17/02/2026: I can definitely recommend this restaurant.

08/02/2026: World-class, in a small cute Dolomiti village and with an intimate atmosphere of extremely kind hosts. Each single plate is the convergence of care, knowledge, experience, traditions and experimentation. Words are limited to express what is to eat at Laite.

02/03/2026: I booked dinner for my family of eight at Piazza Duomo last year October and was very excited, especially as a frequent diner at Michelin-starred restaurants, including other 3-star establishments. Unfortunately, the experience did not live up to expectations. There were highlights: the creative use of local ingredients, thoughtful vegetable-focused dishes, and beautiful presentation. The famous 21, 31, 41, 51 salad was a standout, and the amuse bouche were playful and enjoyable. The beetroot course and cod were well executed, though I did find a small bone in my fish. Desserts, however, were underwhelming. The bigger issues were operational. A €1,700 minimum beverage spend felt excessive and it was uncomfortable being asked to meet it before ordering food. Service was inconsistent, water not refilled, wrong items served, utensils mismatched. The ambience also felt surprisingly basic, with bright lighting and a stuffy atmosphere that did not reflect a 3-star setting. Our total bill was €5,300. I do not mind paying for excellence, but the overall experience did not justify the price. I would not travel specifically for this restaurant, though it may be worth trying if you are already in the area.

06/02/2026: Fantastic experience, some dishes are brilliant, as well as technically perfect. Wonderful waitstaff. Rightfully on the podium among the ten three-star restaurants I've visited.

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.

07/03/2026: Perhaps one of the best Michelin-starred restaurants I've ever been to. Michela and Emanuele Scarello run this restaurant in the heart of Friuli. The experience is extraordinary, starting with an aperitif and freshly prepared table setting. I tried the classic tasting menu; chef Emanuele Scarello takes you on a journey of fresh, vegetal and citrus flavors in every course. All courses have a "doppio," or a combination of the main course. We also had an off-menu dish that amazed us. The pastries were a surprise: desserts that aren't sweet, blending with savory notes to bring a perfect experience to a fresh conclusion. The service was impeccable; Maître d' Michela made us feel at home and left us with a little something to make our remaining days in the Collio area special. I hope to return soon.

05/03/2026: Perfect anniversary! My fiancée and I celebrated our third anniversary yesterday. We couldn't have chosen a better place! They welcomed us right away with an aperitif, followed by the tasting menu. A unique experience, with a perfect balance of seafood and meat dishes. I'll remember the pigeon for a long time! The pastries were also delicious. The service was meticulously maintained. Recommended for anyone looking for a special evening.

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.

07/03/2026: Last night my husband and I had dinner at this restaurant and had a wonderful time. Excellent food. The staff was very kind and welcoming to guests. The chef was very friendly with customers. The sommelier was kind and courteous, very good. The premises were clean and the experience was wonderful. Thank you so much for your hospitality.

02/03/2026: A special experience. Pampered from start to finish. It was my first experience at a Michelin-starred restaurant, and it far exceeded my expectations. Each dish was special and unique, with touches of class and even a little magic. The pairing wines were perfect for each course. Special thanks to Chef Ivan, impeccable! I'll be back soon!

19/03/2026: Le Calandre is amazing! We had an exceptional meal prepared by chef Max, and served by GianDomenico, Christian, and Jonathan. They are the best! Chef Max‘s creations are really a balance between food and art, and it was really on another level. The service was exceptional also - Giando and Christian took time to explain each dish in detail, and Jonathan always made sure the food was presented well. My favourite was the cappuccino murrina, which was so beautiful and delicious, and the really special pasta with all parts of the egg; even the egg shell. We also met chef Max, who is super nice and an extremely talented chef! We will really enjoy our gift as well - thank you to the team for an outstanding experience!!!!!

08/03/2026: Le Calandre is much more than a restaurant: it's a top-notch gastronomic experience. Each dish is carefully crafted down to the smallest detail, with surprising pairings, expert technique, and excellent ingredients. The service is impeccable, professional yet never stiff, putting guests completely at ease. The elegant and refined atmosphere is perfect for a unique and memorable culinary journey. Cuisine that excites and leaves a lasting impression. An absolutely unmissable experience.

21/02/2026: A refined restaurant, perhaps the most celebrated among seafood lovers. Respect for the raw materials is the Cera family's philosophy. Chef Lionello has realized his dream of two Michelin stars. Interpretations of gastronomic tradition, complex reinterpretations resulting from a careful study of flavors, aromas, and colors. Tasting menu, à la carte dishes. My favorite? The Colors of the Sea. Thanks to sommelier Niccolò for the wine pairings, to the attentive dining room staff, and to Sara, who created a delicious millefeuille for my birthday.

28/02/2026: Three Michelin stars, world-class aspirations – and a luncheon brimming with high expectations. Osteria Francescana promises Mediterranean-influenced, internationally inspired Italian cuisine. Unfortunately, the dishes largely lacked the "sapori d'Italia" – the familiar flavors of basil, garlic, rosemary, and olive oil. The concept, which Bottura himself describes so passionately, and the dining experience didn't quite align this time. All the more impressive, however, was the service: exceptionally courteous, attentive, and absolutely top-notch – simply perfect. A team that lives up to the restaurant's reputation in every respect.
