Amazing food and service. The restaurant is great and look like a art gallery . The food is perfect with a great modern take of Italian food . Service is just perfect and really friendly .

David Rosenberg

If you order "Evolution in Tradition" spoiler alert it's all amazing. (But 5 Ages of Parmesan stole the show for me). Pro tip: even if tortellini aren't on the menu, ask for some, they'll oblige.

I tried all the famous signature dishes & they sure had the element of surprise. Impossible food basically, so good. Staff , service, atmopshere – 10/10. What a nice & inspirational guy Massimo is too.

Pedro Asensio

On average with other top restaurants at this level. Immaculate service in a 12 tables cozy place. Set menu of 12 dishes is a must.

Michael Recachinas

Exquisite 12 course tasting menu ! Wine pairing was spot on! The dessert courses were phenomenal — especially the “oops I dropped the lemon tart ” and the black and white truffle chocolate pumpkin cake !

Jon D

Beautiful meal, kind of like going to the tate and eating the art . All staff really friendly , which was lovely as sometimes these places can be pretentious . Wine flight is a must.

It's hard to decide between the traditional and seasonal tasting menus . If you ask nicely they'll give you the former with a few dishes from the latter. Magnifico!

Tracy Solorzano

There's a reason why this is the #1 restaurant in the world. The food is BEST. We did the tasting menu & surprisingly I wasn't as overly full as I expected. Service is the BEST! Everything was perfect

The incredible experience of Massimo Bottura 's "tradition in evolution" tasting menu . Grazie mille to Alessandra and Michele for organising /driving/baby sitting. Think we owe you!

Elyse Estrada

As featured in "Masters of None" when Aziz Ansari's character, Dev, flipped out when his friend got him a reservation for his birthday. Looks amazing and I'm putting this on my bucket list.

Marco Voormolen

Truly marvellous. One of the best in the world. Make sure to start trying to get a reservation months before you want to go here.

Guille Mar Mar

Unbelievable experience, masterfully crafted and presented by mr. Bottura and his team. Hard to describe, just book a table and let yourself go.

Cecilia Frankel

Cried when I ate the 5 ages of Parmigiano Reggiano . In a good way. Like crazy happy way.

Urbane International Real Estate

We didn't order the wine pairing and went with the wine recommended by the Sommelier . It was very good. Ask for their help with everything and they will oblige.

Tim Goffings

The signature dish '5 ages of parmigiana ' is the best dish I ever ate, anywhere and probably ever will

Urbane International Real Estate

Thanks @massimobottura: lovely place and delicious dishes for an outstanding experience. My favourite first course: compression of pasta and beans (simply amazing).

Gergely Molnar

Truly a great restaurant . Renewing the Italian gastronomy by gathering all the classical and new inventions. A real treat!

Zach Aarons

Perhaps the best Italian restaurant in the world. The room is elegant, featuring contemporary art and the food is sublime, melding traditions with contemporary cuisine. (4 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more

Great restaurant . Sous vide done to perfection.

http://OsteriaFrancescana.it | 3 Michelin Stars | Massimo Bottura balances tradition and modernity masterfully. Deconstruction is a recurring theme but it's otherwise refreshingly informal & low-key.

Nate M.

We took our time and more or less got booted from the restaurant . That crispy piece of lasagna is a real tear-jerker tho 😾/😻

Yoni Rei

Tasting menu was very good but lacked something magical from a 3 Michelin starred restaurant
