Most well represented were fourteen regions of the peninsula with 35 new Stars. Campania was distinguished both by the number of awards (8 new Stars) and by its two new MICHELIN two-Star restaurants featured in this new selection.

The total number of restaurants awarded a Green Star has now gone up to 30.

"Our teams have been impressed, because despite all the difficulties the restaurants have gone through and the challenges they are still facing, inspectors have observed an amazing energy in the restaurants" comments Gwendal Poullennec, International Director of the MICHELIN Guide, "The culinary standards are still really high, and this year, Italy achieved the highest number of Starred restaurants ever reached. We can be very confident for the future when we see all these blooming young talents."
