Capodimonte, Italy
Pepe Nero
On the western shore of Lake Bolsena, Pepe Nero earns its 2025 Michelin Plate through a focused seafood menu built on the lake's own catch. Cavatelli with mussel sauce and fried squid served in cardboard boxes signal the kitchen's priorities: freshwater and coastal produce treated with precision rather than ceremony. A lakeside terrace and a wine list spanning the region complete a picture of considered, unhurried dining.
