OVERVIEW
Locale @ The Grande’ provides a unique destination dining experience in spectacular forest surrounds and a short stroll from vibrant Hepburn Springs village. Slow-cooked authentic Italian cuisine with beautifully realised flavours and textures is made with devotion here by acclaimed chef and partner Domenico De Marco. His culinary roots and abiding passion for house-made everything, including freshly baked breads, pastas and soups, house-cured meats, mozzarella, baked ricotta, and freshly churned gelato are fully embraced. Supplied with the amazing fresh produce of the Central Highlands, Domenico cooks and coaxes this locavore fare into a truly Italian experience of food and dining… luscious, relaxed and convivial.
Originating from near Bologna in Italy, Domenico has had a stellar career in some of Europe and Australia's best restaurants. Guided by renowned chefs including Luca Marchini, Piergiorgio Parini and Andrea Accordi, he’s been employed in Michelin star establishments in London, Italy and Prague, and has worked in Australia with celebrated chefs Luke Mangan and Neil Perry.
