How this ranking works
Restaurants are ordered by how many professional critic publications have written about them — not by user reviews, star averages or popularity. This page is built from 31 critic mentions across 17 restaurants in Milan.
A restaurant with no critic coverage does not appear here at all, and cities with fewer than 10 critically recognised restaurants get no page — a ranking built from a handful of entries would imply more authority than the data supports.
