Alfio Ghezzi

The Path

At Senso Lake Garda, the role is split between stewardship and authorship: Alfio Ghezzi works there as Resident Chef and Executive Chef, which places him inside the daily rhythm of the house while also tying his name to the dining room that bears his full culinary signature.

The Work Today

Resident Chef at Senso Lake Garda and Executive Chef at Senso Lake Garda Alfio Ghezzi, both in Limone sul Garda, Italy, are two titles within the same lakeside kitchen. One points to continuity and the upkeep of the place as it is lived day to day; the other marks the menu as an expression shaped directly by Alfio Ghezzi. The kitchen is framed as creative cuisine, but the work is described in restrained terms: simple, responsible, and rooted in sustainability of the territory, Italian style, simplicity, and the unique taste of dishes made with products from small producers. In practice, that means the plate is led by the ingredient and held in balance, rather than pushed toward excess. At Senso Lake Garda, place is part of the method. The lake is not treated as scenery but as an active part of the dining experience, and Alfio Ghezzi describes it as “A timeless, enchanted and relaxing place, so deeply linked to everything we do, where only the breath of a few instants is enough to feel in harmony with us.” The line captures the atmosphere around the kitchen: calm, close to the landscape, and shaped by a sense of stillness that runs through the house.
