"La Pergola is Rome's only restaurant to don three Michelin stars. Creativity is what has kept him here 24 years later. 'Everyday something new, everyday something more,' he says. In 2000, the chef starting doing research with professors on 'the effect of food' on health and the human body. His signature dish, a perfect example of the chef’s quest for a lighter way of cooking, is the other-worldly fagottelli 'La Pergola,' Beck’s riff on carbonara." - Jane Frye
