Michelin Guide Italy 2026
Restaurants selected by Michelin Guide Italy 2026.
Which restaurants are on this list?
Borgo San Jacopo
Florence, Italy
Book Borgo San Jacopo for a romantic, wine-led fine-dining dinner in Florence, especially if an Arno view and sommelier-guided cellar matter to the night. It is a stronger choice for couples and special occasions than for casual groups or quick Tuscan comfort food, with modern Italian cooking and a serious 800-plus-label wine program.
Ristorante NIN
Brenzone, Italy
Ristorante NIN is the Brenzone booking for a serious Lake Garda meal: Michelin-starred contemporary Italian cooking, a quiet waterfront setting, and a wine-led format built for an extended lunch or dinner. It is worth prioritising for a special occasion or first high-end meal in town, less so for children, larger groups, or anyone after a casual lakeside stop.
Ristorante Umberto a Mare
Forio, Italy
Book Ristorante Umberto a Mare for a formal seafood meal in Forio, not for convenience or off-premise dining. The strongest case is dinner or sunset timing, a sea-facing setting, Michelin-recognized contemporary seafood, and a 1,000-label wine cellar. At about $150 per person, it works best for couples, celebrations, and wine-focused travelers.
Overview
The Michelin Guide Italy 2026 is the guide's national selection for Italy, presented on 19 November 2025. It covers the full Italian selection across all Michelin distinctions rather than a single tier.
Michelin publishes national and regional selections on separate annual cycles, and the Italian edition is one of its largest, presented at an annual ceremony ahead of the guide year it carries. A national selection includes every restaurant Michelin's inspectors judged worth listing, spanning One, Two and Three Stars, the Bib Gourmand, the Green Star and Selected Restaurants (historically represented by the Plate symbol), so this list is broader than any single distinction page. Inspectors are full-time Michelin employees who visit anonymously, pay their own bills, and assess five published criteria: ingredient quality, mastery of technique and flavour, the chef's personality expressed in the cuisine, harmony of flavours, and consistency across visits.
