Tre Forchette - Gambero Rosso Gala Dinner

The Gambero Rosso Tre Forchette in Rome

The Tre Forchette gala dinner is the annual autumn event where Gambero Rosso celebrates the restaurants that have earned the highest recognition in the Guida Ristoranti d'Italia in the heart of Rome. Held in the grand halls of The St. Regis Rome—a historic luxury hotel just steps from Piazza della Repubblica and Termini Station—the event concludes the day dedicated to the new guide's unveiling. It stands as one of the most anticipated gastronomic highlights in the capital and the entire Lazio region, serving as a premier meeting point for top chefs, producers, critics, and food enthusiasts.

A menu signed by master chefs

The evening begins with an aperitif curated by one of the guide's top pastry chefs, perfectly paired with Trentodoc mountain sparkling wines. Guests are then seated for a multi-course menu, with each dish crafted by a chef awarded the Tre Forchette. For one night, these culinary masters leave their own kitchens to personally serve one of their most iconic creations. It is a rare opportunity to experience the artistry of Italy's most influential culinary figures in a single setting.

Highlights from the latest edition

The most recent edition, hosted at The St. Regis Rome, featured signature dishes such as Pino Cuttaia's (La Madia) octopus crème brûlée, Massimo Bottura's (Osteria Francescana) legendary pasta e fagioli, Arcangelo Tinari's (Villa Maiella) black pork with chickpea hummus, Sarah Cicolini's (Santo Palato) spaghetti aglio e olio, and a herbal dessert by Michael Boivin (Campo del Drago). This tasting journey showcased the incredible variety and depth of contemporary Italian cuisine.

Wines and pairings

The evening's oenological thread is woven with wines awarded the Tre Bicchieri—the highest accolade in Gambero Rosso's wine guide—alongside Trentodoc bubbles. Each course is accompanied by a carefully curated pairing, ensuring the dining experience is both a journey through haute cuisine and the country's finest viticulture.

The Guida Ristoranti d'Italia

The Tre Forchette represent the pinnacle of the Guida Ristoranti d'Italia, the historic Gambero Rosso publication that reviews the best establishments across the peninsula every year. In the most recent edition, 55 restaurants received the Tre Forchette award, with Osteria Francescana, Piazza Duomo, and Reale leading the rankings. The gala dinner is the convivial moment that seals the awards and gathers the stars of Italian fine dining in Rome.
