Le Calandrе
Italian
You pull off a commercial road outside Padua expecting nothing, then walk into a dining room so quietly lit it takes a moment to realize it's still afternoon. Le Calandre is a three-Michelin-star restaurant run by the Alajmo brothers, who designed the space and most of the porcelain on the table. The menu lets you mix tasting courses freely, which feels generous at this level. One dish wraps eggshell into pasta dough for an audible crunch. It also holds a spot on the World's 50 Best list.

Cuttlefish cappuccino in squid ink
“Max’s cuisine occasionally references itself through restaurant classics, such as the cuttlefish cappuccino in squid ink alongside the more modern Murrina version, an homage to the famed island of Murano and its colorful blown glass.”

Suono N'uovo
“The inspector recommends: Suono N'uovo, a tagliatella whose dough incorporates specially treated eggshell, adding an unexpected and delightful crunch.”
