Santa Maria della Versa, Italy
Ad Astra
In the Oltrepò Pavese hills south of Pavia, Ad Astra holds a 2025 Michelin Plate for contemporary cooking that draws on the region's agricultural depth while moving confidently between classic and modern techniques. Chef Alessandro Folli has shaped a kitchen with clear European range and a grounded sense of place. At €€€ pricing, it sits above the village trattoria tier without reaching the rarefied bracket of northern Italy's starred houses.
