In June, the MICHELIN Guide continues its journey to discover the best places to eat in Italy. Fifteen new restaurants have been added to the Italian selection, ready to tell stories of tradition, innovation, and culinary passion. The “New Entries” are already available on the MICHELIN Guide Italy app and website: let's discover these new stars of Italian cuisine together.
Among hills, lakes, and villages: new places to discover
In Urbisaglia, in the heart of the Marche region, Locanda Le Logge combines the rustic charm of a historic building with authentic Marche cuisine, accompanied by six romantic rooms for those who want to stay. Also in the Marche region, in Tolentino, Osteria Ime offers seasonal and creative dishes thanks to the energy and talent of an Albanian-Italian chef.
On the shores of Lake Bolsena, Pepe Nero stands out for its fresh, straightforward seafood cuisine, served in a modern setting with lake views. In Tuscany, among the vineyards of Tenuta Il Terriccio, the new Terraforte is a jewel nestled in nature: a true celebration of zero-kilometer cuisine, with ingredients sourced directly from the estate.
Tradition and creativity with a contemporary twist
In Veneto, the renovated Storico Caffè Grande Osteria del Centro in Camposampiero focuses on grilled meats and generous dishes, bringing a historic restaurant back to life with a youthful spirit. In Piove di Sacco, Osteria FraSe is a couple's project: she cooks, he selects the wines. The result? Authentic seafood cuisine with creative touches and a warm welcome.
In Tivoli, a small town just outside Rome, two new restaurants stand out: Nuh Osteria Contemporanea, where the flavors of Lazio meet the young chef's skill, and Al Madrigale, which offers refined “new rural cuisine” in an elegant medieval building.
Big cities, big debuts
The capital welcomes INEO, a spectacular restaurant overlooking Piazza della Repubblica, where chef Heros De Agostinis transforms his international experiences into surprising and sophisticated dishes in an environment of absolute luxury. In Venice, Alessandro Borghese has opened a new restaurant in the prestigious Palazzo Ca' Vendramin Calergi, home to the casino: modern, elegant cuisine with a view of the Grand Canal, offering tasting menus and signature dishes.
In Padova, Exforo amazes with its contemporary and versatile atmosphere: a gourmet restaurant, bistro, and cocktail bar overlooking Prato della Valle, offering colorful and modern cuisine.
Southern Italy: sea, creativity, and hospitality
In Campania, two new restaurants reflect the generous soul of the South. In Torre del Greco, Nunù Trattoria Moderna combines tradition and creativity with dishes such as ravioli alla caprese with three tomatoes. In Pietra Ligure, on the other hand, the young chef from Campania at Machettö interprets Mediterranean cuisine with style: trenette with octopus ragu and brandacujun prepared in the dining room are the dishes to try.
In San Giuliano Terme, Locanda Sant’Agata offers land and sea dishes in a boutique hotel surrounded by greenery, with refined yet welcoming cuisine, such as squid stuffed with pancotto di mare (seafood bread soup).
Northern Italy: elegance and simplicity
In Trento, Il Sommelier is a little gem hidden away in the historic center, run by the Poletti brothers, who combine seafood ingredients with modern touches, such as mango cheesecake or raw fish served with understated elegance.
A selection that looks to the future
The 15 new entries in the June edition of the MICHELIN Guide Italy once again demonstrate the extraordinary variety of the Italian gastronomic scene. From big names to small surprises, each restaurant tells a piece of our culinary heritage with passion, technique, and a desire to innovate. Stars, Bib Gourmands or Green Stars? To find out who will win the next official awards, we'll have to wait for the annual ceremony. But in the meantime... it's worth starting to taste!
