The Michelin Guide 2021 – Michelin Guide 2021, who are the new stars this year Cook

Three new two stars (up to 37): Matteo Metullio in Trieste, Rocco De Santis in Florence, Davide Oldani in Cornaredo, in the province of Milan. There are 26, however, the new 1 star. And 13 sustainability awards. In the year of the pandemic these are the numbers of the Michelin Guide 2021. We wonder if we should close our eyes and wait for everything to pass. Or if instead we were to keep our eyes open, continue our work, and present the guide to the public. Thus began the presentation of the Michelin Guide Italy 2021, live from Milan. This is Marco Do, the communication director of the Italian Guide. The most anticipated (and longest) day has arrived for the entire catering world. The 66th edition falls into the annus horribilis of the pandemic, with restaurants affected by an unprecedented stop in business after the two months of closure last spring, the uncertain summer (recovery in spas, slowdown in cities) and an autumn marked by closures again. Haute cuisine has tried to compete with delivery and takeout (read also: From Bottura to Romito to Cracco: the gourmet delivery of great Italian chefs), but evidently they were palliative: the situation is that of a chef on his knees, capable of resisting only if his back is covered by capital (his own or that of partners). Many don’t even know if and when they will be able to reopen, and this is one of the topics of the day: the red team decided not to take off its star (see also: Massimo Bottura: Here are my 5 ideas to save Italian restaurants).
