Massimo Bottura has made it. After a long chase, he’s finally first: a rightly assigned award for him, and for all the Italian cuisine. It’s a gold medal. He beat the Roca brothers, at the top last year, now second. After him: 3rd place to the best in North America, Eleven Madison Park of Daniel Humm, 4th is once again Virgilio Martinez’sCentral, Noma in Copenhagen is 5th, Mauro Colagreco’sMirazur is 6th (read here), Mugaritz is 7th, while the best in Asia, Narisawa, is 8th.
Enrico Crippa
The Highest climber award by Lavazza goes to Maido in Peru, 12th. A big satisfaction for Enrico Crippa’s Piazza Duomo, which moved 10 places up from 27th, last year, to 17th. Massimiliano Alajmo, Le Calandre, is 39th, last year he was 34th, a small disappointment. While Davide Scabin is very satisfied: punished by Michelin, he enters The 50 Best, at number 46, with a 20-place leap.

The entrance at number 27 of Saison in San Francisco and at 34 of Tim Raue in Berlin also deserve a mention. The best restaurant in Oceania is Ben Shewry’s Attica, 33rd. Acurio’s Astrid y Gastón is 30th.
