No.6 – Osteria Francescana

2009 Awards – Highest New Entry

Osteria Francescana just missed out in making the World’s 50 Best Restaurants last year, so being 13thmust be particularly sweet for Massimo Bottura.
This is the most cutting edge food in Italy. Buttura is a master of colour, texture and geometry, the results are quite superb looking dishes.

Osteria Francescana’s walls are adorned with some of the best contemporary art in the world, and Buttura matches them on the plate with his artistic skill.

Take his interpretation of a New York skyline, a dish of Italian meats gently cooked sous vide, standing in for buildings and parsley foam depicting foliage…..Massimo is a welcome addition to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants indeed.
