"For its variety, which harmonizes regional traditions and creativity, for the richness of its products and the excellence of its chefs, Italy shines at the center of the global gastronomic scene. 33 new starred restaurants overlook the culinary scene offering their own, personal testimony of the infinite variations of the Bel Paese kitchen. Above all, the new three-star restaurant Enrico Bartolini shines at the MUDEC, where the chef's personality stands out for research and experimentation, blending perfectly with Milan's dynamism and giving an artist's touch to the rich Italian gastronomic heritage. " says Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of Michelin Guides

Chef Michelangelo Mammoliti, class 1985, proposes a cuisine that has become an essential stop on the circuit of the great restaurants of the region. The dishes express rigor, technique and precision, but the soul comes from Piedmontese tradition and products, to which are added seafood, exotic ingredients, sometimes Asian, and the products personally cultivated by Michelangelo in the restaurant's garden.
- GLAM by Enrico Bartolini in Venice. With a lot of imagination the "fishing" card in the Rialto market and not only for fish specialties, to which are added local recipes reinterpreted by the inspiration of the chef Donato Ascani, born in 1987.
