Some are born for it; others are born in it. The latter is the story of chef/owner Daniele Catarci who’s families, maternal and paternal, own and run hotel and restaurants in the picturesque town of Anguillara Sabazia on Bracciano’s Lake.

Nonna Marisa taught Daniele the secrets to good, hearty meals and by 12 years old, he was already behind the stove prepping up pasta, pizza, scaloppine and tiramisù. On the paternal side, Ristorante Hotel Da Massimino, an icon in Anguillara, was catering 3-4 weddings every weekend.

So if you are thinking of organising your next event, you know you will be in good hands with Daniele looking after you
