Osteria Francescana
Bottura's three-star theatre of memory and emotion in Modena
Massimo Bottura's twelve-table room has held three Michelin stars since 2012 and twice topped the World's 50 Best list. Dishes like the five ages of Parmigiano and the deliberately 'broken' lemon tart turn Emilian tradition into conceptual art. A green star recognises its sustainability work. This is the region's undisputed summit.
Editor's Tip
Books open months ahead; this is a pilgrimage, not a dinner. Both tasting menus reward surrendering to the kitchen.
