I really enjoyed the food, but I can't say it's the best I have had in Italy - that goes to the newly-bequeathed 3-star St. Hubertus in San Cassiano, up in the Dolomites.
I really love Enoteca Pinchiorri and St. Hubertus, but Osteria Francescana is definitely the best restaurant in the country. My god, there are very few meals in my life that can top the experience I had at Francescana (Alinea, En Celler de Can Roca, Noma, The Fat Duck, and Nihonryori RyuGin are also top contenders). Chef Bottura came out to our table after the meal, and it really put the cherry on top of an already fabulous experience.
