This year we have chosen to present the guide in various stages, giving plenty of space to the web and social media to reach a wider audience. We will conclude the presentation on December 13th at the Teatro San Babila in Milan, delivering all the awards, including the special ones, which will focus attention on those professionals who have distinguished themselves in some way over the last year; we will then find out which will be the 50 Best Italian Restaurants in the World, outside the national borders.
