The Michelin Guide is a series of annual guide books published by Michelin for over a dozen countries. Andre Michelin published the first edition of the guide in 1900 to help drivers maintain their cars, find decent lodging, and eat well while touring France. It included addresses of gasoline distributors, mechanics, and tire dealers, along with local prices for fuel, tires, and auto repairs. Michelin Star Guide began recognizing outstanding restaurants in 1926 by marking their listings with a star; two and three stars were added in the early 1930s.
The guide awards one to three stars to a small number of restaurants of outstanding quality. One star indicates a “very good cuisine in its category”, a two-star ranking represents “excellent cuisine, worth a detour,” and three stars are awarded to restaurants offering “exceptional cuisine, worth a special journey”.

In 1998, Eros returned to Italy and started his own restaurant Inoocenti Evasioni in Milan City. In 2009, Chef Eros received the Michelin Star and holding it up to now.
