Chef Daniele Giacometti

Chef At Home In Gaggiano

Sono un giovane chef professionista di 27 anni con molta esperienza alle spalle. Ho iniziato i miei studi gastronomici presso l'Istituto alberghiero Ciro Pollini di Mortara nel 2010. Dopo aver lavorato post diploma in stage a Milano affiancato da grandi chef, decisi di partire per l'Australia. Qui, tra Brisbane e Melbourne, sono riuscito nei 5 anni trascorsi a lavorare in diverse tipologie di ristoranti imparando a perfezionare abilità quali ad esempio l'uso della griglia e la lavorazione accurata di vari tipi di carne e di pesce. Nel 2018, tornato in Italia, inizio a lavorare insieme allo Chef Iwai Takeshi presso il ristorante IYO Aalto di Milano. Grazie al periodo passato al fianco di Chef Takeshi, amplio i miei orizzonti nella cucina gourmet e nella cucina libera, fino al raggiungimento per il ristorante della stella Michelin nel novembre del 2020. Da gennaio 2021 ad oggi ricopro il ruolo di Executive Chef presso il ristorante Pacifico a Milano dedicandomi alla stimolante cucina Nikkei.

Oltre alla cucina, quel che mi stimola ad essere una persona tenace e responsabile è la mia voglia di continuare a migliorarmi di giorno in giorno fino al raggiungimento dei miei scopi e dei miei obbiettivi. Mi ritengo inoltre una persona carismatica e socievole. Sono incuriosito dal mondo e da tutte le sue culture.

For me, cooking is...

passione e amore. Cucinare è sempre stato nel tempo ciò che mi ha reso felice e sereno.

I learned to cook at...

fin da piccolo seguendo mia nonna Angela e ho sviluppato la mia formazione nel corso degli anni con studi culinari, stage e importanti esperienze.

A cooking secret...

è l'utilizzo di ottimi prodotti, cucinare sempre con passione e la cura dei dettagli.

Daniele delivered an amazing and unique experience, it was a highlight of our trip to Italy. Daniele was very pleasant, professional, and warm. The dishes served were delicious, beautifully presented and prepared using fresh local ingredients. Chef Daniele arrived on time and left the kitchen clean and organized. We were very impressed with Chef Daniele's ability to engage in conversation with us while preparing a delicious meal. I would highly recommend Chef Daniele to anyone looking for a memorable experience.

Daniele was a highly professional and very friendly chef! He was very flexible with the menu and taking care of various dietary requirements. On the day of the booking, he took care of all the supplies and independently prepared a delicious menu according to the time schedule. He even brought help to manage a smooth serving for the group of guests. I can highly recommend Daniele and would book him again anytime!

Daniele was simply the best chef one could wish for. Great cooking, superb attitude and an amazing person. If you have the chance to book him, you’ll be very lucky. We had him 9 times over for dinner but next time we will try to get him every evening.

Daniele is vert punctal And professional. We had a good time doing a gnocchi class with our 4 kids. The food was amazing, nice looking And so fresh. I recommand Daniele warmly

Daniele was extremely professional and discreet and, most of all, his food was amazing. He paid attention to all the details and modified his menu to accommodate my food intolerances. The service was excellent and each plate was amazing. What a wonderful evening we had! I would highly recommend Daniele’s services.

I cannot recommend Daniele enough as a private chef. This was one of the best meals we had ever had in our lives. After the first bite of the first dish we immediately tried to book him for the rest of our vacation! The food was incredible, the presentation was beautiful and he took care of entirely all clean up. He was also on time and very communicative with picking out a menu. Highly recommend Daniele and his pesto pasta with lobster!

Don’t hesitate, don’t delay, book Daniele ASAP for your private chef experience. He was so easy to work with in planning the menu, so attentive and fully accommodating to all our dietary needs. Upon arriving we had to beg him to let us help him carry his equipment up our long staircase because he wanted us to just relax and enjoy the experience. Everything from his demeanor to his plating was elevated, engaging and exciting. Each dish was fantastic. Everything was special, but nothing was pretentious or gimmicky. The meal was timed perfectly and his clean up was impeccable. We can’t wait to work with him again!!!!

Ottima qualità del cibo, bellezza della mise en place, professionalità. Servizio impeccabile. Risultato: esperienza assolutamente positiva, da ripetere. Lo consiglio vivamente per una serata alternativa alla solita cena al ristorante

Daniele was everything I wished for. I hired him for a big family dinner (9 adults, 5 kids) to celebrate my parents birthday. He arrived early with the groceries and tools and spent several hours preparing in a small kitchen. He delivered top quality courses that tasted incredible and looked amazing. The kids got simpler food that they loved. Communication was very good when deciding on the menu. He was responsive and welcomed all my suggestions. His english is perfect and fun to talk to. The kids were drawn to him. This was by far the best food we got in our vacation in Italy. Daniele is really a top notch chef and I give him my best recommendation.

Chef Daniele was absolutely outstanding. From the initial communications and tailoring the menu to our liking, punctual and discreet and extremely professional. The food was the hero of the evening and we couldn’t fault one element on any dish! Incredible flavours, stunning presentation and everything worked harmoniously together. An absolute triumph from such a young chef - we can’t recommend him highly enough!
