Chef Paolo Bravi

Chef At Home in Joondalup

I am a professional Italian chef with more than 30 years of experience in the kitchen. I graduated from the School of Hospitality in Assisi, Italy, in 1998, where I built a strong foundation in classical Italian cuisine and professional hospitality.

I worked throughout Italy until 2011, followed by one year of experience in Spain and six months in Russia. In 2013, I moved to Australia, where I have since worked as a chef in several Italian restaurants and spent five years at the Crown Casino.

For me, cooking is...

My life My Passion. Cooking with love is the key

I learned to cook at...

I created my knowledge and skills around Italy

A cooking secret...

always try to create emotions

Chef Paolo was amazing from the start of our interaction. He put the menu together beautifully and was lovely and friendly when interacting with my guests. The food was amazing and the lamb cooked to perfection. I was amazed on how easy he made the night and was grateful for the clean up after a busy night - thank you from the bottom of my heart. I would recommend Chef Paolo, he was very professional and warm, nothing was too hard for him, thank you again.

10 out of 10, would hore again

Paolo delivered a fabulous meal for our event. He was very professional, easy to talk to, and gave our guests a great explanation of each meal as the plates were delivered to the table. I would definitely recommend Paolo for any event.

Chef Paolo was great, would definitely recommend..

Paolo did a great job for our 80th birthday party. The pasta dish and panna cotta ranked as the best I have ever had and were beautifully presented. The main course was also excellent with a great Italian touch. We were visiting Perth so Paulo managed to work in a sparsely equipped kitchen in a holiday appartment without complaint. I wouldn't hesitate to engage Paulo again.

The chef was incredibly professional and friendly, the food was absolutely incredible

He was lovely, friendly, thorough and the food was amazing, all of my guests would use him and enjoyed the exprrience

great food, great service ,great event

Chef Paolo came into our home like a long lost friend. He was friendly with us, our teens and happy to be around our dog. He created an attentive menu that took into account food allergies. I was sceptical that he could pull off a gluten and dairy free lava cake but it was incredible to watch the gooey chocolate flow and it was absolutely delicious! Chef Paolo created the perfect night out… at home.

Chef Paolo was fantastic. He cooked and presented amazing Japanese food for us and made our night very enjoyable. We look forward to having him cook for us again!

Paolo cooked an early Christmas meal for my family of eight, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. The food was absolutely beautiful — thoughtfully prepared, perfectly cooked, and presented with real care. Paolo was especially attentive to my mum’s seafood allergy, ensuring she was fully catered for without any compromise on quality or flavour, which we truly appreciated. Beyond the incredible food, Paolo was a pleasure to have in our home. He worked seamlessly in the kitchen and left it absolutely impeccable, as if he’d never been there. An excellent chef in every sense — professional, considerate, and extremely talented. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Paolo and would happily book him again for future occasions.

Chef Paolo was incredible, I wasn’t sure what to expect, but it was amazing. Chef Paola was organised, professional and an amazing Chef. The family enjoyed Chefs explanation of every course presented. We were all fool so much that we didn’t eat the cheese board that I bought, the clean up was surprising and the best gift ???? I could have asked for, thank you Chef Paola and helper. We will definitely do this again xxx

the service was very professional and we had 2 chefs attend at the time of the booking, arrived one hour before the event started. they prepared the food and delivered it in a very classy way. my guests were amazing and very complementary about how they have enjoyed my event. they served over 20 guests am a very happy host thank you chef Paolo

Our chef Paolo Bravi was simply amazing From our initial contact right through to him preparing an incredible range of dishes far exceeded our expectations. Everything was perfect and would highly recommend Paolo

Paolo catered for our elopement! He was a fantastic chef, catered to our tastes and to gluten free. He spent time on the night caring for our son so we could all enjoy the food! The food was outstanding! Highly recommend Paolo!

Amazing food and presentation, everyone thoroughly enjoyed all dishes made by Chef Paolo, as well as interacting and learning from him. Would highly recommend.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Paolo cook us a private dinner at home, and it was outstanding. Every dish was beautifully presented, perfectly balanced, and full of flavor. The whole evening felt effortless - Paolo created a relaxed, memorable experience that let us enjoy restaurant-quality dining in the comfort of our own home. I couldn’t recommend them more highly!

Paolo was unreal. Food was divine.

Chef Paolo was sensational. The most amazing food and experience. We will definitely use him again!

Chef Paolo was absolutely incredible!! He was really pleasant to deal with and was very adaptable with the size of the kitchen he had to work in (it was a small kitchen at the airBnB I was renting). I organised this dinner to catch up with my uni mates as we have not seen each other for over 10 years so naturally, there was a lot of talking and excitement for us trying to catch up with each other's life and Chef Paolo was amazing in being both discreet and engaging with us....perfectly timed with each of the course that were presented and the food was absolutely delicious! As a group, we could not fault the service, the quality of food and the presentation. Definitely would book him again! :)
