Michelin Guide Italy 2027: Three New Restaurants Earn Two Stars, 24 Receive Their First Star

Italian cuisine continues to stand out for its quality, creativity and ability to evolve. This is confirmed by the Michelin Guide Italy 2027, unveiled at the Teatro Municipale in Piacenza, which awards new distinctions to 27 restaurants: three receive Two Michelin Stars, while 24 earn their first Star. The total number of Michelin-starred restaurants in Italy therefore rises to 382, spread across the country.

The 2027 edition also marks a symbolic milestone for Michelin, concluding a year of celebrations for the brand’s 120 years in Italy. Hosted by Barbara Pedrotti, the ceremony brought together more than 500 guests, including chefs, journalists, hospitality professionals and institutional representatives.

The new selection once again highlights the ability of Italian gastronomy to preserve its traditions while exploring new culinary languages. This balance was also emphasised by Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the Michelin Guide, who noted that inspectors were particularly impressed by the dialogue between Italy’s culinary heritage, modernity and innovation.

Michelin Guide 2027: The Three Restaurants Awarded Two Stars

Among the most anticipated announcements of the 2027 edition are the three new Two Michelin Star awards. The restaurants reaching this milestone are Al Gatto Verde in Modena, Orma in Rome and Pascucci al Porticciolo in Fiumicino. Each has a distinct identity and culinary approach, yet all share a strong personality and a commitment to sourcing and showcasing exceptional ingredients.

Al Gatto Verde – Modena

Led by chef Jessica Rosval, Al Gatto Verde is located at Casa Maria Luigia and has built its identity around fire, a central element of the restaurant’s culinary philosophy. Cooking over flames becomes a way to enhance ingredients and rediscover traditional techniques, through a cuisine that places memory, sensory experiences and respect for the product at its heart.

Orma – Rome

At Orma, chef Roy Caceres presents a culinary journey that brings two cultures together: his Colombian roots and Italian gastronomic traditions. His cuisine moves between personal memories, cultural influences and contemporary expression, creating an experience that engages not only the palate but also the cultural and emotional dimensions of food.

Pascucci al Porticciolo – Fiumicino

Chef Gianfranco Pascucci further strengthens his restaurant’s position as a leading destination for seafood cuisine. The menu stands out for its carefully selected ingredients, technical precision and pursuit of balance in flavour. Attention to hospitality and a distinctive culinary identity, deeply connected to the sea, are also central to the experience.

With these three new awards, the number of Italian restaurants holding Two Michelin Stars rises to 40.
