Throughout history, exceptional individuals often become legendary figures. Gualtiero Marchesi has become an iconic personality in the history of Italian cuisine as we understand it today. Many prominent figures in the contemporary culinary scene look up to the Maestro for inspiration. Enrico Dandolo, who manages the dining room at the Grand Hotel Tremezzo, and Osvaldo Presazzi, who leads the kitchen, are responsible for continuing and renewing Marchesi's legacy. They are fortunate enough to showcase the groundbreaking impact of his work on a daily basis and carry the responsibility of passing on his genius to future generations. We owe them a great deal of gratitude for their efforts in preserving the legacy of this great master.
