Osteria Francescana is the benchmark for progressive Italian cooking in Europe: three Michelin stars, back-to-back World's 50 Best number-one rankings, and a 97-point La Liste score in 2025 and 2026. Book months ahead — this is one of the hardest seats in Italy. Lunch is quieter and marginally easier to secure than dinner, with no reduction in menu ambition.
