Davide organised a truly memorable evening for our group of 6. The communication was outstanding from the start. Davide was very flexible to accomodate dietary restrictions. The menu he put together was fantastic, and he customised the wine pairing in line with our preferences, sourcing some specific bottles for our group. The food was delicious and each dish came with an interesting story. The kitchen was left spotless. I would highly recommend Davide to anyone in the area looking for an outstanding dining experience at home.

Incredible food, kind and polite service. Accommodated our dietary needs without hesitation. Spectacular experience from start to finish. I would recommend Davide to anyone looking for an amazing evening with delicious food!

Davide was very responsive to our request and accommodating to vary the menu for a pregnant guest we had. He also gave us other dessert options as the first 3 we did not really like (as a group decision). He sent through 3 options for each course for us to choose from and also asked whether we would like him to supply the dishes, cutlery, napkins and tablecloth which we did. He also gave us some suggestions for pairing wines for us to purchase to complement the food. Davide organised a menu card and even included a personal design I had emailed to him to add that extra personal touch. The food was plenty and the timing between courses was appropriate. I would recommend Davide and the full experience he offers.

We hired Chef Davide for my parents 40th wedding anniversary dinner while on holidays in Noosa. He made the experience so special, with personalised menus and tales of his career taking him all the way back to Italy. The food was incredible, with a special mention of the Pappardelle Al Ragu, although everything was just delicious. Davide left our kitchen spotless and he even left some pasta for my children - who he graciously allowed to “help” him prepare the pasta. Highly recommend!!!

Chef Davide was an absolute delight to work with. He prepared a top tier menu with incredible presentation and delicious taste. He was professional, personal and authentic. I would highly recommend Davide and would not hesitate to use his services again and again.
