Le Calandre

When the Alajmo brothers took over this restaurant in Padua, Italy, from their mother, Massimiliano “Max” Alajmo promptly became the youngest chef to win three Michelin stars at 29 years old. The chef applies modern touches to classic dishes as his signature saffron risotto with juniper and liquorice powder.  There are three tasting menus: One of Le Calandre classics, while the other two – “Max” and “Raf” – offer a window into the brothers’ tastes.  Must-try dishes include mozzarella cannelloni with tomato sauce; and seared turbot with yellow potato purée, cardamom carrot juice and black olive powder.
