A tribute to earth, seasonality and simplicity with a twist. The dishes on this menu are inspired by the daily offerings of Laqua by the Lake’s garden, where ingredients are cultivated with care and respect.
They arrive in the kitchen in line with the rhythm of nature. For this reason, the Garden Menu is only available at certain times, when the ingredients are at their best. It is a plant-based, wholesome and surprising culinary journey that evolves with the changing seasons, just like everything that is truly alive.

Gianni Bertone
I was born in Isernia, in Molise. From a young age, thanks to my grandmother, I developed a great passion for cooking. I enjoyed experimenting with flavors and combinations, and soon I started preparing my favorite dishes on my own.
Among cookbooks and some summer experiences in Rimini and Misano Adriatico, I have always nurtured the dream of becoming a chef and opening a restaurant. Despite this, I continued to study Economics at the University of Rome, La Sapienza.
In 2015, a friend signed me up for the casting of the fifth season of MasterChef Italia, where I was fortunate to meet Chef Cannavacciuolo. That experience changed my life, as shortly afterward I found myself working alongside him at Villa Crespi.
The Chef saw something special in me and, in 2021, chose me to lead the kitchen at his restaurant Laqua by the Lake, one of the new establishments in the Laqua Collection group in Pettenasco, on Lake Orta.
