The Michelin Guide Italy 2027 has revealed its new accolades during the ceremony held on November 12, 2026 at the Teatro Municipale di Piacenza, one of the most anticipated events for lovers of haute cuisine and industry professionals. Now in its 72nd edition, the Michelin Guide, among the most authoritative and consulted gastronomic publications worldwide, counts this year 329 restaurants with a Star, 40 with two Stars, and 13 with the top honor of three Stars.
Among new entries, promotions, and confirmations, we discover which restaurants earned one, two, and three Michelin Stars and which received the special awards. Here are all the names from North to South Italy, to uncover the addresses to note for the next gourmet travel experience.
Michelin Guide 2027, Italian cuisine that makes you travel
The presentation of the new Michelin Guide was also an opportunity to reaffirm the value of enogastronomy as a driver of Italian tourism. The Minister of Tourism Gianmarco Mazzi described the guide as “the story of the Italy most loved around the world, that of taste and hospitality.” “The presentation of the Michelin Guide is the story of the Italy most loved worldwide, that of taste and hospitality. In this context, the Michelin Guide transforms excellence into a destination: a restaurateur who earns a Star generates visitors and jobs, makes a territory known,” the minister emphasized.
A sentiment echoed by Emilia-Romagna regional assessors. For Roberta Frisoni, Tourism Councillor, the link between gastronomy and hospitality is part of the region’s history: “Our grandparents always welcomed guests at the table,” and today the chefs are “the best ambassadors we can have in the world.”
The Agriculture Councillor Alessio Mammi recalled the cultural value of food, as well as its economic impact: “Food is culture,” and behind every Michelin Star there is “a lot of study, a lot of creativity, a lot of teamwork.” These words perfectly introduce the protagonists of the day: the chefs and restaurateurs who, with their work, lift Italian cuisine—and thus our culture—high.
Opening of the Year 2027
It opened just six months ago, yet it has already captured Michelin’s attention. The Opening of the Year 2027 award goes to Juan Camilo Quintero, at the helm of QUID, a new Italian dining venture distinguished by a modern, colorful, and engaging culinary offering.
Michelin highlighted the chef’s precision and technique, capable of delivering a contemporary cuisine that reflects his talent and personality. “It’s very exciting to start like this,” Quintero said on stage, thanking the recognition he received just six months after the restaurant opened.
Young Chef Award 2027
The Michelin Young Chef Award 2027 goes to Simone Lazzerini, chef of N’uovo Vino e Cucina in Sutri, in the province of Viterbo, who also earns his first Michelin Star. His cooking draws on local roots and regional food excellence, reinterpreted with modern techniques and an original perspective on tradition. Visibly moved, the chef also dedicated a thought to those who accompanied him on his journey: “Being young in a field like this is difficult, so I thank my owners for giving me the freedom to make mistakes and to be young.”

The ceremony, hosted by Barbara Pedrotti, opened with a tribute to Nadia Santini, the chef of the tristellated restaurant Dal Pescatore in Runate, who passed away on November 2 at the age of 72.
