Everyone has the right to feel a star chef in his kitchen, but expectations crashing against reality. This teaches today the cooking programs that crowd the schedules of the television networks. From the choice of ingredients to the dishes, Masterchef & Co. showed the common people how to cook and eat in the world of luxury restaurants, where food is not the only protagonist. Eating becomes a real multi-sensory experience, which involves the customer from sight to taste. In this way the customers of the Italian star restaurants increase, while the local cuisine remains firmly at the top of the ranking made by the Michelin Guide.
Michelin Guide 2019, Italian star restaurants: who descends and who climbs
Last November 2018 was presented the Michelin Guide 2019, an annual publication aimed at tourism and gastronomy, which is the global point for the assessment of the quality of the restaurants and hotels at national and international Ievel. A vote for the main world accommodation facilities ranging from one to three stars. In Italy the starred are 367. Italy gains the second place in the world ranking for number of star restaurants. Many news in the list drawn up by the famous French guide, and more than a disappointment for star chefs. To be admitted for the first time in the Olympus of restaurants 3 stars Michelin is Mauro Uliassi of Uliassi restaurant in Senigallia (Ancona). Still disappointment for Carlo Cracco, who did not get the new Michelin star for the restaurant opened in the past months at the Galleria in Milan. On the other hand, Antonino Cannavacciuolo smiles, who gets a star for his Bistrot in Turin and one for Novara.
There are 318 the Italian star restaurants with one star, those in which it is worth stopping, if you are passing through, with 29 new entrances. To win a star in the Michelin 2019 Guide are:
