The criteria for awarding stars
This is the highest award for restaurants. But how are they evaluated?
The dreaded "inspector" is required to evaluate his gastronomic experience according to the following criteria:
- quality of ingredients
- mastery in controlling flavors and cooking techniques
- personality of the chef in his kitchen
- value and consistency between the various table tests carried out
This is an inspection and evaluation that has nothing to do with many of the service standards evaluated in many television programs and formats, for example. In fact, for example, items such as furniture, service or table equipment are not included, which instead are evaluated and rewarded with the fork and knife symbol.
In particular, the meaning of the stars is as follows:
- 3 Stars: A unique cuisine. Worth the trip
- 2 Stars: An excellent cuisine. Worth the detour
- 1 Star: A cuisine of great quality. Worth the stop
