Al Gatto Verde
No.92 World's 50 Best 2025 — Al Gatto Verde
Veronica's Take
Nestled in the lush grounds of Massimo Bottura and Lara Gilmore’s Casa Maria Luigia in Modena, Al Gatto Verde is a culinary dark horse that just landed the No. 92 spot on the World's 50 Best 2025 list. Led by Canadian chef Jessica Rosval, who honed her craft at the legendary Osteria Francescana before taking the helm at Casa Maria Luigia, the restaurant is a masterclass in wood-fired cooking. Every dish is kissed by flame, with a menu that dances to the rhythm of seasonal ingredients sourced from the restaurant's own gardens and local initiatives. Rosval's commitment to sustainability is as fiery as her cooking, making Al Gatto Verde a green gem in the heart of Italy's culinary landscape.
