DAMIANO FERRARO

Chef-patron of the Capitolo Primo restaurant
a Montallegro

Biography and formation of the chef

Damiano Ferraro

Ambition, a desire to grow and to learn from the great masters have characterised the working experience of the chef Damiano Ferraro.

Living the various professional chapters with his eyes always on his goal has left its mark, from the famous chefs he was working with at the Spinne of Grindelwald, the Olden and the Grand Hotel Park of Gstaad in Switzerland and then in London in the kitchen of the chef Willi Elsener at the Dorchester, and then the greatest learning experience at La Gavroche, indelible traces that even today, as Damiano himself says, he draws on in the course of his daily work at his Capitolo Primo restaurant.

Working abroad, in fact, taught him how to evaluate, how to know foods, how to take care of his guests, how to run things and understand people. He considers the possibility of working in a land where nature is bountiful and generous to be a great fortune.

Capitolo Primo e Relais Briuccia

A dream and a family story

Capitolo Primo and Relais Briuccia are two halves of a whole, rather like Damiano and Adriana. His creative flair in the kitchen, and her charisma and know-how in the dining room.

The chef Damiano Ferraro together with his wife Adriana Baglio in 2009 started a dream that became a project: a charming boutique hotel with a refined restaurant at Montallegro, a little village in the province of Agrigento. Local produce, and lots of passion demonstrated by the originality of the dishes, and above all, a warm, unmistakably Sicilian hospitality.

"We will never get tired of welcoming our guests with a smile and the enthusiasm of the first day... we have created a little oasis and we want to share it with those who come to visit us in our beloved country."
