The Bib Gourmand restaurants in Italy, according to the Michelin Guide, are selected based on their creativity, contemporaneity, and the attention they give to the products of the region they belong to. "In these restaurants, the territory is showcased, not always in a traditional way, but always with a focus on taste, the product, and the supply chain," says Sergio Lovrinovich, Director of the MICHELIN Italy Guide. Currently, there are a total of 257 Bib Gourmand restaurants in Italy. The top regions with the highest number of Bib Gourmand restaurants are Emilia Romagna with 34, Lombardy with 29, Piedmont with 28, Tuscany with 26, and Veneto with 20.
