A talented owner-chef with a passion for modern Italian cuisine
Emanuele Donalisio is owner and chef at restaurant Il Giardino del Gusto. He was introduced to gastronomy at a young age, growing up in the Piedmont countryside where good food was an important part of his upbringing. After studying at the Arturo Prever Hotel School in Pinerolo, he joined the kitchen at the six-star cruise ships of Regent Seven Seas Cruises. In 2012 Emanuele decided it was time to open his own establishment. He opened the doors to his restaurant Il Giardino del Gusto where he conjures up delicious modern Italian cuisine, blending terroir with international influences.
From nature to the plate, with rigour, elegance and intuition.
Il Giardino del Gusto
Ventimiglia (IM), ItalyRestaurant Il Giardino del Gusto is a small, refined dining room with a warm welcome and service that stays close without hovering. In the kitchen, chef Emanuele Donalisio draws on years spent in Italy and abroad, keeping the focus on local, zero-kilometre produce that speaks clearly of Liguria. The cooking is led by respect for ingredients: clean flavours, careful balance, and pairings that feel confident and a touch daring, while always letting the product stay in charge.
