Get to know me better
I don't work for success, simply to improve myself and give pleasure to my guests.
I am an Italian professional chef with 15 years of experience around the world between Europe, Russia and Australia.
I love to cook with local and seasonal products.
I specialize in Mediterranean, Italian and vegetable cuisine and I like to combine Australian tastes.
Finally I respect the environment by not using plastic or surrogate products.

Chef Cristiano's reviews
Thanks so much for providing an amazing stress free, enjoyable, tasty and wonderful meal! Well worth it!!

Chef Cristiano Besazza was the chef for my husband’s and my 40th wedding anniversary. We wanted a memorable event for this important day. Delicious 4-course meal including scallops, gnocchi, beef cheek and chocolate terrine, cooked in our own home and an attentive chef certainly delivered in spades. He even washed dishes and left the kitchen spotless. Chef Cristiano and Take a Chef are highly recommended by us.

From the time Josh arrived he engaged with me and my guests.
Although working in an open plan kitchen dining area there was no interruption by noise during the prep serve and clean process.
Loved the fact Josh paced each course to suit us and checked in prior.
The food was superb.
Thanks Josh and Cristiano for making my birthday dinner a memorable evening.
Highly recommend.

We invited Cristiano to prepare a beautiful experience for my mum's 60th Italian themed birthday. The food was exquisite, beautifully presented and we all loved hearing about the backstory to the dishes we were eating. Cristiano and his waitress Veronica were the perfect mix of engaging, fun and professional. They were both respectful of our home and better yet, left our kitchen cleaner than what it was when they arrived! We will definitely be getting Cristiano back for our next dinner party, I couldn't recommend the experience more highly.
