Gambero Rosso 2022 Guide: the best restaurants – Italian Cuisine

The 2022 edition of the guide confirms the primacy of the Reale in Castel di Sangro among Italian restaurants. 41 clubs that have obtained the highest recognition, four are new. To Carlo Cracco the award as restaurateur of the year

It will not be original, but the introduction to the 2022 edition of the Gambero Rosso's Italian Restaurant Guide is "the great restart". Albeit with some fears for the next few months, the volume celebrates the return to normality, in the sense that not only the scores of the premises are reviewed, without prejudice to the classification in forks, globes, bottles, casseroles – one, two or three depending on the degree of excellence – but the prizes were awarded in presence at the Rome Marriott Park Hotel of the capital. It is not a small thing, considering what happened last year, starting from the streaming ceremony but also from the difficulties of an accurate evaluation as in past editions. This year has gone better, from the end of May the restaurants have reopened (and it was a great season) but – perhaps also to exorcise fears – the symbols of delivery and take away have remained on the cards of the places that continue to do so.

An exceptional podium

The 2022 edition is not free from changes within the categories, starting with Three Forks. Once the scores are back, Gambero Rosso confirms – as in the 2020 edition – that the best restaurant in Italy is Real (opening photo) in Castel di Sangro (AQ) with 96 cents ahead of theOsteria Francescana of Modena and to Pergola of the Hotel Rome Cavalieri, both at 95 cents. Translated, it means a podium composed respectively of Niko Romito, Massimo Bottura and Heinz Beck. In total, there are 41 Three Forks: three more than in the 2021 edition, but the news (or returns) are four because for the renovation of the Park Hyatt Milan, Andrea Aprea left the Vun to create a new venue in the city. Among the elite, there has been the return of two restaurants in Rome: theIdylio by Francesco Apreda – The Pantheon Iconic Rome Hotel and the tried and tested La Torre wine shop in Villa Laetitia. Then here it is Dani Maison, in Ischia, where one of the best cooks in the South, Nino Di Costanzo, works. The fourth new entry – certainly the most original of the group – is represented by Andreina, in Loreto: Errico Recanati has conquered the good parlor of critics and is attracting enthusiasts for a kitchen where fire is the fundamental element.

King Charles

Note that for the first time, there is a small list of Two Red Forks with the greatest potential to join the elite: Piccolo Lago in Verbania (VB), Casa Perbellini in Verona, Antica Osteria Cera in Campagna Lupia (VE) , Arnolfo in Colle Val d'Elsa (SI) and Signum in Salina (ME). If Niko Romito earns the cover again, the back cover is definitely for Carlo Cracco: he was awarded the prestigious as Restaurateur of the year, by virtue of the excellent time of Cracco in the Galleria (for Gambero Rosso it is the best venue in Milan), of the new offices (on the Naviglio and Portofino) and also of the television success of the Dinner Club program. To another ace of our restaurant , Mauro Uliassi, the award for the Menu of the Year: the fantastic Lab 2021, obviously in his restaurant in Senigallia (AN). Curiously, the award for the best Italian dining room ended just 7 km to the south, at the Madonnina del Pescatore of the lifelong friend-rival Moreno Cedroni.

The new Three Globes

Among the liveliest categories, there is that of ethnic restaurants: Casa Ramen Super left the scene, here they conquered Three Globes The bad habit And Gong Oriental Attitude in Milan. The novelty of the year is From the Mona Lisa, in Gabicce Mare (PU), led by Davide Di Fabio, former right-hand man of Massimo Bottura, and created by the Bizzari family. The special prizes are interesting. The one for the emerging cook in memory of Alessandro Narducci went to Luigi Salomone of King Saints and Lions in Nola (NA). The number one sommelier has been working at Reale – for sixteen years, by the way – and he is the Apulian Gianni Sinesi while the success of Piazza Duomo in Alba (CN) as the best restaurant as a proposal for wines by the glass. And still the pastry chef of the year is Tommaso Foglia who takes care of the desserts of the famous Don Alfonso 1890 and of the San Barbato Resort Spa & Golf in Lavello. We were also convinced by the award for innovation in the kitchen that went to Bu: r, Eugenio Boer's Milanese restaurant who is very good at making it starting from very strong regional and classic roots. When creativity is not just technique and exercise of style but gastronomic culture and respect for the past it becomes more innovative than any new idea. An important sign.

Lido 84 in Camanini, the rise to The World’s 50 Best Restaurants – Italian Cuisine

In seven years, the Camanini brothers have made a beautiful place one of the meccas of gourmets all over the world: the 15th place in the most important ranking is only a consecration. An Italian story, simple and incredible. To tell

Now all to say that it was taken for granted after 2019, when Lido 84 was awarded with the Miele One To Watch Award 2019, recognition that highlights the rising stars of the kitchen, making it enter the 78th place of the The World's 50 Best Restaurants. Yesterday, the consecration: the restaurant Lido 84 of Gardone Riviera rose to 15th place with a prodigious leap – which also earned him theHighest New Entry Award – in the most prestigious ranking on the planet. Just to understand each other, the Osteria Francescana is out of the question – because Massimo Bottura is in the Hall of Fame – the Camanini brothers' restaurant has become the best in Italy. In an edition like the one in Antwerp where we did well in general: the Reale by Niko Romito jumps from the 51st to the 29th of this year, Le Calandre by Massimiliano Alajmo climbs five positions, from 31st to 26th, while Piazza Duomo by Enrico Crippa passes from 29th to 18th. But the cover is all for the Camanini brothers, sons of the Iseo adopted by the Brescia Garda: the chef Riccardo and the man of the dining room Giancarlo.

Pupil of Marchesi

When they opened in 2014, recovering the restaurant of the old bathhouse on the lake – Lido 84 in fact – it was the classic bet on the future. It is true that at 19 Riccardo was at the Albereta with Gualtiero Marchesi ("The teacher who guided my career" he always remembers) and the education continued between France and England, but no one would have thought that the ex-young man who came out of Villa Fiordaliso for fifteen years, Michelin starred with specialization in banquets, he would become one of the top twenty chefs in the world. Especially since the place was sober to say the least, with the dishes of the old restaurant and six employees in addition to the cook and his brother Giancarlo who to follow the adventure gave up a safe job as manager of the Fondital di Vobarno: he became so good at manage the room (and not only) which in 2017 was awarded by Gambero Rosso as number one in Italy. He took us, since at the end of 2014, Lido 84 was already Michelin star: it still is, incredibly. But we doubt that the next lap will not become two: it would be grotesque.

The Camanini Method

The awards – many, in Italy and abroad – and the evaluations of the guides please the Camanini. But less than the system they have developed, the work they ensure. Now the brigade has exceeded twenty units, all hired for an indefinite period, with holidays, permits and contributions. “Obviously with board and lodging at our expense. It is truly the result that makes us most proud, since we started with the goal of being completely sustainable without external help, which made everything slower and more difficult. I do not forget that Giancarlo and I did not earn a salary for two seasons says the chef. On the other hand, a Camanini method which briefly is based on the responsibility of individuals – in every aspect, not only related to the specific role – which starts from the creation of individual projects at the beginning of the season up to the reading of the books recommended by the brothers. Seen from the outside, Lido 84 looks like a cross between a convent (serene, not gloomy) and a social center (apparently chaotic but far from anarchic) as we were the first to define.

Iconic dishes

Season after season, slowly but surely, everything that does not concern cooking has changed its face. The internal room is filled with design objects, the dehors is characterized by a large counter that helps the service, the mise en place is well cared for without exercises in style, the paper is hand-printed … Lido 84, also and above all for frequenting with the world of The World's 50 Best Restaurants, he found the right mood to end up where he ended up. Of course, those who work there are all Italians and Gardone Riviera remains a beautiful town on Lake Garda, which has always been loved by foreigners: but especially in the 'holes' of the pandemic and its reopening, there is a feeling of being in the world. For customers and for the kitchen, always in positive tension and with a whirlwind of recipes perhaps unique in Italy: we are close to 400 recipes, all set up in the database, from the day of opening. Some already iconic such as the Spaghettone with butter and brewer's yeast that bewitched Ducasse and is part of the menu of the restaurant inside the MoMa in San Francisco, the one that replicates the most famous dishes of international top chefs. Or the Cacio e Pepe in the bladder which confirms Riccardo's passion for the past and culture in general. The sequence of ideas, flavors and combinations has few rivals on the market. There is no culinary technique that is excluded.

Continuity

Silent genius (he practically disappeared in the hard times of the pandemic, dedicating himself to reading and testing in the kitchen), the chef Camanini will hardly lose his way even after the great result in Antwerp. "We had sensed that we could be in the top 50, but we weren't hoping for much: such a high position will make us continue to work with the responsibility we have in representing Italy – he said – the '50 Best 'is a tool for dialogue between cuisines from all over the world and we will try to best represent our country, our micro cultures, our wealth, the province, mothers, homes ". He's not wrong: recently, we tasted one of the 2021 recipes that is Rice, caprifico and walnut husk. The second product is a wild fig from which Camanini obtains an oil for creaming. A technical and fantastic dish as it was in 2014 on Rice, stracchino and sardines: direct and simple homage to pure health care. Everything has changed since Lido 84, or maybe nothing has changed.

The ranking

And this award has also come a long way, born in 2002 from a survey by the editors of the English magazine Restaurant. The first to win what has become the most prestigious world ranking over the years was El Bulli by Ferran Adrià in Catalonia. From there it was a succession of annual appointments (the only one postponed that of 2020 due to Covid) that have assumed ever greater importance, decreeing the undisputed success of this night of the Catering Awards. And over the years the award has also become itinerant, moving from London to always reach a different location: New York, Sidney, Singapore, San Sebastian, Antwerp.

To decree the ranking, once again, a thousand voters from all over the world, divided between gastronomic journalists, international chefs, and gastroturists who make up the The World's 50 Best Restaurants Academy. The gender-balanced Academy comprises 26 separate regions around the world, each with 40 members including a president. No sponsor of the event has influence on the voting process. In the one hundred best in the world, among Italians, even the restaurant Uliassi of Senigallia (52nd) led by Marco and Catia Uliassi and the St. Hubertus of San Cassiano with chef Norbert Niederkofler (54th).

In the Wall of fame of the number 1 chefs in the world in The World’s 50 Best until 2019 and no longer subject to vote there are: El Bulli (Spain), The French Laundry (USA), Tha Fat Duck (Uk), Noma (Denmark), El Celler de Can Roca (Spain), Eleven Madison Park (USA), Osteria Francescana (Italy) and Mirazur (France ).
