Barbarano Vicentino, Italy
Aqua Crua
In the Berici Hills south of Vicenza, Aqua Crua holds a Michelin star and a place on La Liste's 2025 rankings for a format that splits deliberately between two modes: a tasting menu of minimalist 'provocazioni' and an à la carte that revives the generous, multi-component plating of 1980s Italian dining. Chef Giuliano Baldessari treats both as parallel arguments about what Italian cooking can be.
