From University to Fine Dining
Originally from Brescia, Valerio Dallamano began his academic career in Pharmaceutical Chemistry and Technologies before choosing to dedicate himself to the culinary art under the guidance of master Vittorio Fusari. Over the next fifteen years, he refined his technique and taste in starred Italian and European cuisines, obtaining prestigious awards, including the Stella Michelin in Venice. «I am happy to be at the Grand Hotel Fasano – explains the chef -. For me, it means going back to the origins. After twenty years of international experiences, I felt it was time to bring everything I learned back to my homeland.»

Two Restaurants, Two Experiences on the Lake
The chef will take care of Trattoria Il Pescatore and La Magnolia restaurant, immersed in a large park that is home to two centuries-old magnolias. Magnolia presents itself as a contemporary bistro that enhances Italian and local excellence, while Il Pescatore offers a terrace overlooking the lake where the specialties of Brescian and Mediterranean cuisine are reinterpreted in an international key.

Culinary Experience and Tradition
In the moonlight, among the calm waters of the lake, Italian specialties between lakes and seas, hills and plains, mountains and valleys, meet with Dallamano’s experience. Tasting itineraries with pairings of wines, fermented products, and non-alcoholic drinks complete the offer, together with à la carte menus available for both hotel guests and external visitors. 
The chef thus brings a balance between local tradition and contemporary research, making the Grand Hotel Fasano a point of reference for those seeking a gastronomic experience on Lake Garda.
