Where Every Dish Tells a Story
Our kitchen draws from the rich culinary traditions of Lombardy, the freshwater bounty of Lake Como, and the finest produce from across Italy. Each dish is a conversation between heritage and innovation.
The menu changes with the seasons, guided by what the land and lake offer at their peak. Our chef works closely with local farmers, fishermen, and artisan producers to ensure every ingredient arrives at its best.
Terry Giacomello
Known for a contemporary, deeply inventive approach to Italian cuisine, Terry Giacomello has earned Michelin stars in both Parma and Brenzone sul Garda, establishing himself as one of the most original voices in modern gastronomy.
His path has led through some of the world's most influential kitchens, including El Bulli, Michel Bras, Mugaritz, and Noma, each shaping an approach grounded in research, experimentation, and an unwavering commitment to depth of flavour.
At The Club On The Lake, his cooking draws on the traditions and ingredients of Lombardy while reaching beyond them. A cuisine that feels both rooted and restless, familiar yet entirely its own.
