Italy’s 15 Three-Star Michelin Restaurants in 2026, and the Ferrari or Lamborghini That Will Take You There
The ultimate guide for discerning travellers: Italy’s finest tables, the roads that connect them, and the supercars delivered to your door.
Italy has always understood that the greatest pleasures in life are never experienced in isolation. A glass of Barolo is better at the table it was made for. A view of the Amalfi Coast means more from a terrace than from a photograph. And a tasting menu at one of the world’s finest restaurants (a place where a Michelin inspector has awarded the rarest distinction in gastronomy) is elevated beyond imagination when the car that carries you there is a Ferrari or a Lamborghini.
This is the Italy that Luxury Car Hire Europe was built for. We deliver supercars directly to your hotel, resort, villa, or airport, anywhere on the peninsula, so that the journey to the table becomes as unforgettable as the meal itself. In 2026, Italy leads Europe with 15 restaurants holding three Michelin stars: the guide’s highest accolade, awarded only to chefs whose cuisine has been elevated, in the inspectors’ own words, to an art form. What follows is a guide to those restaurants, and to the Ferraris and Lamborghinis that belong alongside them.
The complete 2026 three-star Michelin map of Italy
The Michelin Guide Italy 2026 was presented in the city of Parma and honours 25 newcomers among its starred establishments: one new three-star, two new two-stars, and 22 new one-stars, for a total of 394 starred restaurants across the peninsula. Leading the way is La Rei Natura by Michelangelo Mammoliti, which achieves the highly coveted milestone of three Michelin stars in Serralunga d’Alba, in the heart of the Langhe. The fourteen restaurants that have retained their three-star distinction are: Casa Perbellini 12 Apostoli in Verona, Villa Crespi in Orta San Giulio, Piazza Duomo in Alba, Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, Le Calandre in Rubano, Dal Pescatore in Canneto sull’Oglio, Osteria Francescana in Modena, Enoteca Pinchiorri in Florence, La Pergola in Rome, Reale in Castel di Sangro, Uliassi in Senigallia, Enrico Bartolini al MUDEC in Milan, Quattro Passi in Nerano, and Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico.
The new entry: La Rei Natura by Michelangelo Mammoliti, Piedmont
Framed by the evocative setting of the Langhe’s soft, rolling vineyards, La Rei Natura offers a gastronomic experience filled with exceptional craft and culinary poetry. Every dish, created with the utmost precision, tells a story that celebrates its ingredients, enhanced by bold and harmonious pairings. The tasting menu (the Mad100% Natura) feels like stepping into a living landscape. This is cuisine that does not merely satisfy the palate. It thrills it.
Arriving at La Rei Natura in a Ferrari 296 GTB or a Lamborghini Huracán, delivered by Luxury Car Hire Europe to your hotel in Alba or Barolo, and driving the Langhe’s vineyard roads as dusk settles over the hills: this is a combination of pleasures that requires no justification to anyone who has ever understood what Italy is capable of.
Osteria Francescana, Modena, the most famous table in the world
Massimo Bottura’s Osteria Francescana in Modena has been, for two decades, the restaurant that most Americans, British visitors, and international food lovers think of first when they imagine the summit of Italian haute cuisine. Repeatedly named the world’s best restaurant. Three Michelin stars held without interruption. A kitchen that reimagines Italian tradition through the lens of art, literature, and philosophy (Five Ages of Parmigiano Reggiano, Oops! I Dropped the Lemon Tart) with dishes that have entered the global culinary lexicon. The restaurant marks its 30th anniversary this year, and shows no sign of slowing.
Modena is also the home of Ferrari. The two facts are not unrelated. Both represent what happens when Italian craftsmanship becomes an obsession. Luxury Car Hire Europe delivers a Ferrari (built twenty minutes from Bottura’s restaurant) to your hotel in Modena or Bologna. You drive to the most celebrated table in Italy in the car that the same city invented. It is a symmetry too perfect to resist.
La Pergola, Rome, dinner above the eternal city
Heinz Beck’s La Pergola, on the roof of the Rome Cavalieri hotel on Monte Mario, is Italy’s only three-star Michelin restaurant in the capital, and one of the most dramatically situated fine dining rooms in Europe. The view takes in the dome of St Peter’s, the roofscape of Rome, and the hills beyond, all from a setting of quiet, cultivated luxury that feels perfectly calibrated to the city below.
For guests staying in Rome (Americans exploring Europe, Arab travellers from Dubai and Riyadh whose standards for service and setting are uncompromising, British visitors who understand that the best of Italy is never a cliché) Luxury Car Hire Europe delivers a Ferrari Roma Spider or a Lamborghini Urus Performante to any Roman hotel, villa, or private residence. The drive from the historic centre to Monte Mario in a Ferrari, as Rome’s evening light turns amber and gold, is its own course before the meal begins.
Da Vittorio, Brusaporto, the great Bergamo dynasty
The Cerea family’s Da Vittorio in Brusaporto, in the hills above Bergamo, represents a different model of three-star excellence: not the solitary visionary chef, but a family operation three generations deep, with the consistency and warmth that only a restaurant built on genuine love can sustain. The kitchen is technically impeccable. The cellar is among the finest in Italy. The setting (a country villa surrounded by the Bergamo hills) is one of the most generous and comfortable in the country.
Bergamo is forty minutes from Milan. Luxury Car Hire Europe delivers a Ferrari or Lamborghini to Milan Malpensa, Bergamo Orio al Serio, or any hotel in the city. The drive through the Lombard countryside to Da Vittorio in a Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica or a Ferrari GTC4Lusso covers a distance that feels entirely disproportionate to how far it takes you in spirit.
Quattro Passi, Nerano, three stars above the Amalfi Coast
Quattro Passi in Nerano, on the Sorrento peninsula overlooking the Bay of Naples, draws directly from the sea and the volcanic soil below. Chef Fabrizio Mellino elevates the iconic local zucchini pasta into a study in restraint and intensity. The terrace looks across the water toward Capri. In summer, there is nowhere in Italy more beautiful to eat.
For travellers arriving by superyacht, private jet to Naples, or from the hotels of Positano and Ravello, Luxury Car Hire Europe delivers a Ferrari 296 GTB or a Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spider to the Amalfi Coast. The coastal roads (corniche tight, sea-view vast) are among the most celebrated driving roads in Europe. The Ferrari here is not a luxury. It is the correct instrument for the terrain.
Uliassi, Senigallia, the sea as philosophy
There is a moment, eating at Uliassi, when you stop trying to understand what is on the plate and simply surrender to it. Mauro Uliassi’s restaurant on the Adriatic shore of Senigallia (a converted beach cabin that has held three Michelin stars with the quiet confidence of a place that has never needed to explain itself) is one of the most singular dining experiences in Europe. The sea is not a backdrop here. It is an ingredient, a mood, a structural principle. Razor clams, sea urchin, fermented fish, coastal herbs that grow nowhere else: Uliassi’s kitchen is marine biology translated into haute cuisine, and it is unlike anything produced in any landlocked restaurant in the world.
The chef himself is part of the experience. Mauro Uliassi circulates between tables with the ease of someone who has spent thirty years in the same room and still finds it interesting, because the menu changes constantly, driven by what the Adriatic offers each season and by a restlessness that three Michelin stars have done nothing to suppress. His sister Catia runs the front of house with the same unhurried intelligence. It is, in the fullest sense, a family achievement, and one of the most quietly radical restaurants in Italy.
Senigallia sits on the Adriatic coast of Le Marche, south of Rimini, north of Ancona. Arriving there in a Ferrari Roma Spider or a Lamborghini Huracán Tecnica, delivered by Luxury Car Hire Europe to your hotel or private villa on the coast, feels like an act of genuine discovery rather than a tick on a list. The road along the Adriatic from Rimini southward, in the right car as the light drops over the water, is one of those Italian drives that reorders your sense of what a journey is for.
The north: Piedmont, Lombardy, Veneto, and South Tyrol
Italy’s three-star concentration in the north gives ambitious gastronomes the opportunity to build journeys of extraordinary density. Piazza Duomo in Alba, where Enrico Crippa’s kitchen garden supplies much of the menu and classic gastronomy is executed with rare technical command. Dal Pescatore in Canneto sull’Oglio, a Lombardy family restaurant with a philosophy of absolute attention to product and a menu that has barely changed in thirty years (high standard through consistency rather than novelty). Le Calandre in Rubano, outside Padua, where the Alajmo family has held three stars for over two decades. Villa Crespi in Orta San Giulio, on the shores of one of Piedmont’s most beautiful lakes. Enrico Bartolini al MUDEC in Milan, where three stars sit inside a contemporary art museum and the cooking matches the ambition of its setting. Atelier Moessmer Norbert Niederkofler in Brunico, South Tyrol, where the Alps themselves become the kitchen garden (a restaurant built entirely around the produce of the mountain world that surrounds it).
Luxury Car Hire Europe covers all of northern Italy with door-to-door delivery to hotels, villas, and airports. A Ferrari Roma Spider on the truffle roads of Piedmont in autumn. A Lamborghini Urus through the Dolomites toward Brunico. A Ferrari 296 GTB from Venice Marco Polo to Rubano for Le Calandre. The routes are there. The cars are ready.
For the world’s most discerning travellers
The guests who reserve tables at Italy’s three-star Michelin restaurants arrive from everywhere. American travellers who have experienced the best that New York and Los Angeles can offer and fly to Italy specifically for what cannot be replicated elsewhere. British visitors for whom Italian fine dining in 2026 represents the most serious and exciting culinary culture in Europe. Arab guests from Dubai, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi, whose definition of luxury is built on absolute standards with zero compromise. Ukrainian and Russian-speaking travellers who know Italy intimately, return year after year, and understand instinctively that the road to a great meal is part of the meal itself.
For all of them, Luxury Car Hire Europe offers the same service: a Ferrari or Lamborghini delivered to your door, anywhere in Italy, at any hour, for as long as you need it. No rental counters. No queues. No ordinary cars. Only the right vehicle, in the right place, at the right moment.
How to book your Ferrari or Lamborghini for Italy’s finest restaurants
The journey to a three-Michelin-star restaurant deserves to begin well before the amuse-bouche arrives. It begins with the choice of car. It continues through the route (roads that a Ferrari was designed for, landscapes that reward the right vehicle and punish the wrong one). And it ends at a table where Italy’s most skilled chefs have spent decades earning the right to feed you.
