Sara Capellini of the Balin restaurant in Sestri Levante, recommended by Michelin inspectors, is my revelation chef of 2025. The Rossa guide mentions this: Intimate restaurant located on the seafront, the internal room is really tiny and doubles with the “mini” veranda, the The atmosphere is young and contemporary. Modern and creative Mediterranean cuisine dishes, based on Ligurian raw materials, which the chef enjoys finishing with some Asian touches here and there, often concentrated in the finishing sauce.

Carlo Passera
I was struck by the freshness and precision of the vegetable cuisine of two very young people, Anisia Cafiero and Pasquale De Biase at Ausa in Isernia

Jordan Giusti of Dieci in Nepi (VT)

Anna Prandoni
Luca Natalini with his Autem

Maria Pranzo
Michele Spadaro from Pashà in Conversano (Bari)

Gabriele Principato (Cook)
Andrea Antonini, chef of Imàgo at Hassler in Rome. His cuisine is experiencing a whirlwind evolution, made of elegance, flavor and technique.

Isabella Radaelli
Marco Suriano, born in ’91, certainly struck me not only with his cuisine but also with his modesty and humility

Massimiliano Tonelli
Facundo Castellani

Luke Turner
Charles Pearce

Valentina Vercelli
Michele Lazzarini – Contrada Bricconi

Cristina Viggè
Mirko Gatti, who guides (àbitat) in San Fermo della Battaglia, near Lake Como. As an environment, context, natural space to explore and investigate. As a territory and landscape to be respected and communicated. Enhancing a sense of belonging. With a Green Star to light his path, Mirko has the courage to create a cuisine based on the three “fs”: foraging, fermentation, fire. Wasting nothing and even using invasive species
