Veranda

Veranda is Villa d'Este's fine dining restaurant. It is located in the Cardinal's building and offers an exclusive panorama over the gardens and the lake, while the large windows give the guest the feeling of being immersed in its surrounding nature.

The kitchen is managed by Michele Zambanini, executive chef at Villa d'Este, where he coordinates a brigade of 51 chefs, a large family that works hard together to satisfy the customers’ every wish. Unusually for today's kitchens, the kitchen brigade is typical of the French gastronomic culture of the Seventies and Eighties, where each chef has a specific and well-defined role.

This was re-introduced at Villa d'Este and has been maintained over the years. The approach gives certainty to the dishes and at the table: the risotto prepared by the potager chef, for example, will always be the same, since it is prepared by his own hands and with his own technique, every day of the season. La Veranda is a restaurant where you can enjoy the flavours of the Italian tradition, prepared with refinement and meticulous attention to the excellent quality of the ingredients employed, prepared according to the methods required of a modern kitchen, but with no distorting of textures and flavours. The pasta is prepared strictly by hand, every day, as are the ravioli.

Thanks to Chef Zambanini's brigade, customers feel pampered, as if they were at home, but seated at the table in a gourmet restaurant able to satisfy the most discerning palate. They also serve off-the-menu dishes created ad hoc by the kitchen, including vegetarian, vegan, coeliac, and dishes for other intolerances, to meet the needs and desires of every guest.
