    Massimo Bottura's three-Michelin-star fine dining restaurant on Via Stella keeps contemporary art on the walls and an Eduardo De Filippo quote at the top of the menu, which tells you something about how seriously the place takes the idea that tradition is a springboard, not a shrine. The tasting menu changes each year around a new theme, with classics like tortellini in Parmigiano broth holding their ground on the à la carte. The World's 50 Best Restaurants gave it its Icon Award in 2025.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Jazz duck

      “Among the emblematic dishes, Jazz Duck stands out: duck presented in several preparations to showcase every part of the bird, served alongside an unusual glazed panettone that perfectly completes its intensity.”

      Michelin Guide
    • Five ages of Parmigiano Reggiano

      “as well as his signature ‘Five Ages of Parmigiano Reggiano’ creation, a textural exploration of the region’s famous cheese.”

      The 50
    • Modenese tortellini

      “Modenese tortellini in a silky 36-month Parmigiano Reggiano sauce, and hot-and-cold zuppa inglese”

Eat Score

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
