Lucciola Wins Tre Forchette 2026
Gambero Rosso's Highest Award
for Fine Dining
Filip, one component of the Lucciola team, at the award ceremony.
We have news worth celebrating here in New York.
Gambero Rosso has awarded Lucciola the Tre Forchette 2026, the highest recognition in its prestigious international guide. Only 34 Italian restaurants in the entire world hold this distinction this year, making Lucciola one of the top-rated Italian fine dining restaurants globally and among the highest rated top hi-fi restaurants on the Gambero Rosso guide.
The Tre Forchette designation marks our restaurant as "Excellent". For a fine dining Italian restaurant in New York City, to be named alongside the world's best is a recognition that reflects years of uncompromising dedication to quality, hospitality, and true flavors.
Best Italian Wine List NYC: Villa Sandi Contemporary Wine List 2025
For Lucciola, the honor extends beyond the kitchen, to our wine program received the Villa Sandi Contemporary Wine List 2025 award for New York — a testament to the depth and curatorial vision behind one of the most celebrated Italian wine lists in NYC.
Chef Michele Casadei Massari and the Lucciola Team Behind the Achievement
This achievement goes also to our guests: those who have us in their wish list, those who return, who trust us, who sit at this table on the Upper West Side and allow us to show them this art. And it belongs to Chef Michele Casadei Massari and the entire Lucciola team, whose commitment to Italian excellence, night after night, made this possible.
Thank you for being part of what Lucciola is becoming.
