Michelin guide Italy 2008

The new Michelin guide for Italy has announced its new stars.

No matter, who cares about guides, you can always read our blog for more objective judgements...

But we want to congratulate two chefs who have been justly rewarded and whom we praised here: Walter Miori of Locanda Margon where we had a fantastic dinner just a few weeks ago,
and Piercarlo Zanotti of L'Ortica, for whom we forecast a bright future just a few months ago. Well done guys, keep up the good work!
