Incredible!!! It was simply a perfect evening! Prior to booking, chef Sakis was very responsive and helpful. He provided us with a menu proposal and we added menu items to make it our own. Chef Sakis was very flexible and helpful in making sure he had what we wanted. The dinner experience was outstanding! He worked discreetly, bringing everything in quietly and without any disturbances. We were lucky that our villa had an outside BBQ with dinning area. He set up everything for the appetizers and the spread was to die for! He brought all the dishes and prepared the table. All we had to do is sit and enjoy his food! He then continued to cook our main meal while we ate. Again, always discreet, in the background but there if we had questions. He explained every dish. When we were done, it’s as if nothing happened! The kitchen/ outside BBQ areas were spotless! He placed our left overs in take-away containers and placed them in the fridge. We would highly recommend Chef Sakis!!! He was friendly and personable and a pleasure to be around. He was absolutely amazing and his food was incredible!!! Thank you Chef Sakis for this perfect evening! It was a night that we will remember for a long time!!

Incredible meal prepared by Chef Tushar for my wife's birthday. 6 courses that went very well together and left us feeling full but not overhwhelmed. seasonally appropriate and fresh ingredients. he was also kind enough to prepare the best macaroni my young kids have ever eaten on the side! Highly recommend. Thank you!

The food was very good. We do wish the chef had some oil and salt for the table. Chef's English was very limited, but that did not effect us as we had Italian speaker in our group. The best part was watching the Chef make the homemade Pici and invited us o try the rolling process. Would definetely recommend this Chef and would use again ourselves.

Contratamos a Federico para cocinar una comida en una masía que alquilamos en la Costa Brava. Lo pasamos muy bien con él: desde el presupuesto que nos dejaba elegir entre muchas cosas hasta la comida en si, todo era excelente. El trato y la comunicación con él mismo era muy fácil y cercano. Repetiremos sin dudas!

Stipe was amazing- he was so accommodating with the menu and flexible on timings. The food was amazing and made for a truely memorable evening. Would absolutely recommend

We had an amazing experience. Laurent was punctual and pulled some fabulous dishes out of our very meager airbnb kitchen. My family was very impressed and he made me look good! I would %100 hire him in the future, he's a real pro.

We had the pleasure of welcoming an Italian chef and waiter into our home for a private four-course Italian dinner, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. In addition to the beautifully crafted courses, the chef kindly prepared a special serving of arancini, which was a delightful surprise. Both my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment. Each dish was introduced with a thoughtful explanation, adding a personal and authentic touch to the evening. The food itself was absolutely delicious—clearly made with passion and expertise. The waiter who accompanied the chef also provided outstanding service, ensuring that everything ran smoothly and that we felt completely at ease throughout the evening. Thanks to their professionalism and warm hospitality, my wife had a truly memorable birthday celebration. We wholeheartedly recommend this service to anyone looking for a unique and high-quality dining experience at home. We will definitely be inviting them back again in the future.

Todo excelente. El chef fue súper amable, cocinó increíble y nos hizo sentir súper cómodos. La comida estaba exquisita (especialmente la salsa de pimienta). Muy profesional y cercano a la vez. Fue una experiencia linda, rica y especial. Recomendadísimo.

Chef Carlos was AMAZING! Not only was the food beyond delicious, but his communication is top notch! His personality and background shines through his dishes! He surpassed all high expectations we anticipated and with complete ease. Can not wait to see what other function I can have to have him back!!

Greatest private chef experience of my life.

El Chef Alex Bogdan fue muy puntual y muy profesional. Atento en todo momento con todos y cada uno de los comensales, pero sobretodo hizo una comida riquísima de cuatro tiempos, ayudándonos también con el maridaje. Volveré a contratarlo sin duda!

We had the most amazing experience with Chef, the food & atmosphere was amazing! Thank you so so much for a wonderful evening ❤️

Amazing chef experience, absolutely recommended!!!

Wonderful Chef and created a wonderful memory for our family

Fantastic experience, Alberto was very attentive and professional. The good was delicious and the kitchen spotless afterwards.

Chef Will was great for our bachelorette party! We had a group of nine girls and were staying at an airbnb, but Chef Will made it work in our small kitchen. He was incredibly kind and professional from start to finish, helping us serve and clear plates or refilling our drinks while we ate. The food was super flavorful and really highlighted Puerto Rican cuisine; one of my favorite things he prepared for us was the Tembleque dessert. If I came back to PR and for the right occasion, I'd love to book Chef Will again! My only note is: We had a large group of girls with a long list of different allergies (gluten being the big one) which made it difficult to come up with a menu so that everyone could try everything. We all had a ton of fun, and I'm very grateful for the experience with Chef Will :D

Thank you, Chef Oren, for making my milestone birthday such a special occasion for my friends and me. I will never forget how wonderful Chef made our night. Chef was the ultimate professional, and the food presentation and originality was only matched by how delicious it all was. 5/5!!!

We recently had the pleasure of hiring Chef Juan Pablo as a personal chef, and the experience was exceptional from start to finish. He was incredibly professional—punctual, well-prepared, and highly organized. From the moment he arrived, everything ran smoothly, allowing us to truly relax and enjoy the evening. The food was outstanding, beautifully presented, and thoughtfully crafted. Every course exceeded our expectations, and it was clear that a lot of care and expertise went into each dish. On top of that, Chef Juan Pablo was warm and engaging, striking the perfect balance between being attentive and giving us space to enjoy our time together. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and one we would absolutely do again. Highly recommended!

Chef Ryan was incredible. Balanced flavor in all of his dishes and wonderful attention to detail. We loved it. So grateful we chose him. He did not disappoint.

Chef Mack was professional and the food was delicious.
