Resumo
A low building outside Padua where Massimiliano Alajmo took three Michelin stars at 28 — still the youngest chef ever to do so — and has held them since.
O que pedir
The saffron risotto with liquorice powder, the dish that made his name, inside one of the tasting menus.
Porque ir?
Technique in the service of lightness rather than display; worth the detour from Venice, which is the whole point of a three-star.

Why Boni Picks It
Massimiliano Alajmo took three stars at 28; the saffron risotto with liquorice powder justifies the detour from Venice.
