Gucci Osteria Tokyo receives its first Michelin star
STAR RIDE: Gucci has scored yet another win in the fashion hospitality game that warms up more and more.< /p>
After Florence, Italy, and Beverly Hills, California, the Gucci Osteria in Tokyo, Japan , has also turned into a Michelin-starred culinary destination. The restaurant, which opened last year on the fourth level of the Gucci Namiki building in Ginza, was recognized in the 2023 edition of the famous Michelin Guide Tokyo.
Under the leadership of chef Antonio Iacoviello, Gucci Osteria Tokyo explores contemporary cuisine that brings together Italian gastronomic traditions with local Japanese ingredients and techniques. A traveler and explorer himself, Iacoviello inventively reinvented dishes that combined the two cultures, as seen for example in the evocative delicacies "La Parmigiana that wants to become a Ramen" and "Babà à Okinawa".

He also thanked Bottura for entrusting him with the project and credited his team for the "courage, patience and sacrifice".
