The opening of the 2025 menu of Osteria Francescana reads: “Only after studying, deepening, and respecting tradition, do we have the right to set it aside, always with the awareness that we are indebted to it, at least for having helped us clarify our ideas. Of course, if we remain anchored in the past, life that continues becomes life that stops, but if we use tradition as a springboard, it is obvious that we will jump much higher.” Taken from a reflection by Eduardo de Filippo. Poverty and Nobility is the theme for this year on Via Stella. Every year, the Modenese chef, with his team, proposes a new tasting menu, which then varies slightly based on the change of seasons. After more than 30 years, Francescana remains the restaurant that sets the benchmark for Italian haute cuisine. In the menu, you will find suggestions such as “Bread and Water” and the “Genovese” which are small masterpieces and can alone be worth the trip. In the dining room, Beppe Palmieri will make you feel pampered.
