Osteria Francescana, Modena

Chef Massimo Bottura's Osteria Francescana in Modena, Italy, has held 3 Michelin stars since 2011 and was named World's Best Restaurant twice (2016 and 2018), a feat matched only by Noma and El Celler de Can Roca on this list. The 12-course menu uses traditional Italian ingredients — Parmigiano-Reggiano, aged balsamic vinegar, lardo — as inspiration for conceptual dishes like "Oops I Dropped the Lemon Tart" and "Five Ages of Parmigiano-Reggiano." Bottura also founded Food for Soul, a network of 15 non-profit kitchens serving nutritious meals to the homeless using food industry surplus, impacting over 30,000 meals annually.
