A new 3 star restaurant in the Michelin Guide Italy 2025

Transcript

00:00I'm Roberto Bottero, chef patron of the Arnaldo Gastronomic Clinic in Rubiera.

00:13The restaurant started in 1936.

00:17My grandfather Degoli Arnaldo started the restaurant business in a building in Locanda in the late 1900s.

00:25The Arnaldo Gastronomic Clinic was founded in the post-war period.

00:34In the 1960s, many doctors came from the hospital in Modena to eat here.

00:41My grandfather said, this place is full of doctors.

00:45You take care of the medicine, but I take care of the food, which is much better.

00:50In 1956, we were awarded the Guida e Ravaggia Signate in Italy.

00:56It was an important recognition for us.

01:00In 1959, we were awarded the first stars in Italy, and we were awarded the star.

01:06It was an immense joy for my grandfather and for his daughters.

01:10We have been custodians of a tradition for 88 years.

01:15Ramona and I are the third generation, and now there is already a fourth-generation son who works in the kitchen.

01:25Our philosophy is to remain anchored to our tradition and our dishes.

01:34Our main dish is the Spugnolata and the Carrello dei Bolliti degli Arrosti.

01:42The Bollito Misto is our main dish.

01:45We serve the Bollito Misto all year round, even in August, when we are open.

01:51It is a dish that is very much appreciated.

01:59We have customers who have been coming here for generations.

02:03So we have the third and fourth generation of customers who come here.

02:08My grandfather and my great-grandfather used to come here.

02:11So it is a beautiful thing.

02:14Lately, many people have congratulated us on finding the flavors that they no longer felt.

02:22We feel flavors that are now lost.
