Oltressenda Alta, Italy
Contrada Bricconi
A 15th-century stone hamlet above Val Seriana, Contrada Bricconi is where chef Michele Lazzarini translates the agricultural traditions of the Bergamo Alps into a tasting menu of precise mountain cooking. Ranked 41st in Europe by Opinionated About Dining in 2024, awarded a Michelin star the same year, and recipient of OAD's Next Generation Award, it operates as a working farm and restaurant simultaneously — a format that changes what ends up on the plate.
