1962: Pizzeria Negri in Pontecagnano was given a Michelin star. Today the Red Guide pretends they can’t see the many restaurants offering the "new Italian pizza" which would deserve it, indeed they would. We discussed about it at Identità Milano
Full autonomy and dignity to pizza, as long as you believe in it and equip the restaurants in terms of comfort, choice of flour where there’s a slow yet tenacious revolution taking place and fine tune a wine or beer list with excellent standards. The final debate at the end of a first day of works in the auditorium started off from these coordinates. It was a dialogue between many voices moderated and organised by Paolo Marchi and Roberto Restelli, ex director at Michelin Italia according to whom the idea of giving a star to pizzerias is no heresy, just like it wasn’t a heresy giving one in 1962 when pizzeria Negri in Pontecagnano collected the prize from the Red Guide – the first and only pizzeria - «without anyone noticing it».
