Veronica's Take
Al Gatto Verde, located in the grounds of Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore’s Casa Maria Luigia in Modena, has claimed the No.92 spot on the World's 50 Best Restaurants 2025 list, led by Canadian chef Jessica Rosval. Rosval, who sharpened her skills at Osteria Francescana before becoming chef de cuisine at Casa Maria Luigia, has built a menu that celebrates wood-fired cooking and seasonal ingredients, with nearly every dish touched by flame. This restaurant is a green sanctuary, drawing produce from its own gardens and local initiatives, proving that sustainability can be as flavorful as it is responsible.
