Uliassi loses its third Michelin star as Orma, Pascucci and Al Gatto Verde win two

12 November 2026 · Written up 13 November 2026 · The Starred Bill

Italy has no new three-star restaurant this year, and two fewer. The MICHELIN Guide Italia 2027, revealed at the Teatro Municipale in Piacenza on 12 November 2026, took a third star from Uliassi in Senigallia after eight editions, gave a second star to Orma Roma, Pascucci al Porticciolo and Al Gatto Verde, and gave 24 restaurants their first. Italy now has 382 starred restaurants, down from 394.

Uliassi drops to two stars

Mauro and Catia Uliassi’s restaurant on the harbour front at Senigallia had held three stars since the 2019 guide. The family said they were very sorry but deeply respected the guide’s judgement, and would carry on as before. Its tasting menu, the same at lunch, costs €280 (about $315) at Uliassi. The other three-star to go is Quattro Passi in Nerano, which closed after its building was seized in January; its name and team are due to reopen at a hotel in Massa Lubrense in May 2027. That leaves Italy with 13 three-star restaurants, none of them new.

Three new two-star restaurants

Rome gained two of them. At Orma Roma, the Colombian-born Roy Caceres mixes Colombian and Italian cooking in a menu that costs €192 (about $215), and Michelin also gave it a Passion Dessert award. Gianfranco Pascucci’s seafood restaurant Pascucci al Porticciolo in Fiumicino charges €150 (about $165) for its longest menu, or €130 (about $145) for the classic one at weekend lunch. In Modena, Jessica Rosval cooks over fire at Al Gatto Verde, in Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore’s Casa Maria Luigia, where seven courses cost €170 (about $190). With them, the province of Rome has 28 starred restaurants, more than any other in Italy.

The 24 new one-star restaurants

Piedmont has the most new one-stars, four, and Lazio, with its two promotions, the most new stars of any region, five. In Rome, QUID, where Juan Camilo Quintero cooks, won Michelin’s Opening of the Year award, and its eight-course menu costs €178 (about $200); Rome’s other new star is Nomos Ante, at €150 (about $165) for seven courses. In Sutri, Simone Lezzerini of N’uovo Vino e Cucina won the Young Chef Award, and his six-course menu, at €80 (about $90), is the cheapest of the 24. The dearest is Bros’ in Martina Franca, at €250 (about $280) for eight courses. Turin has two: Akoya, a Japanese counter at €90 (about $100) where Christian Mandura is the mentor, and La Limonaia, at €95 (about $105). Milan’s new star is Autem, Luca Natalini’s restaurant in Porta Romana, at €150 (about $165). Sardinia gained three, among them Ulìa at a farm retreat near Arzachena.

Who lost stars

San Domenico in Imola dropped from two stars to one, and 17 restaurants lost their only star, among them Cannavacciuolo Bistrot and Carignano in Turin, Lorenzo in Forte dei Marmi and Paolo e Barbara in Sanremo. Mandura’s former restaurant in Turin, Unforgettable, also left the guide after it closed; it reopens on 18 November with Marco Ambrosino in the kitchen. Another 18 closed or ended, including Santa Elisabetta in Florence, which had two stars, Cracco Portofino and Lido 84 on Lake Garda.
