"Villa Crespi, led by chef Antonino Cannavacciuolo, in Orta San Giulio, joins the elite of the fine-dining world with three MICHELIN Stars. Set against the magical backdrop of Lake Orta, in a historical Moorish-style residence immersed in age-old grounds, this remarkable success story began way back in 2003, when the restaurant was awarded its first MICHELIN Star, followed by a second in 2006. Sixteen years later, the chef from Italy's Campania region, sees his Piedmont-based restaurant awarded three MICHELIN Stars, an honor reserved for fewer than 140 restaurants worldwide." - La Guida Michelin
