Chef Daniele Coletta in the kitchen at Le Belvedere

Trained at Istituto Alberghiero in Fiuggi. Kitchens on the Adriatic and in West Berlin.

Born and raised in Supino, a small town south of Rome, where dinner was the day's longest conversation.

The cooking is Italian and Mediterranean, built on what the season and the lake will give. Thursday sushi is its own evening.

46 years in restaurants. The same belief the whole time: a meal is a room, not a list.
