Massimo Bottura is know worldwide for his mind-blowing cuisine. Getting a reservation at the Osteria Francescana is akin to winning the lottery.
But did you know, the Francescana at Maria Luigia opened recently, and is much easier to get a reservation?
This Bnb run by the souschef of Bottura serves all the classics from the Osteria Francescana (many of which are no longer on their menu), in a much more intimate atmosphere.
Though pricy (set menu starts at 400 euro) the quality and setting are unbeatable.
Those looking to splurge can book a night in the Bnb (starting at 600 euro a night). The breakfast buffet is reportedly a once in a lifetime experience. Guests at the Bnb are guaranteed a table at the restaurant.
