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! :)

Paolo was amazing! He did not intrude in any way on our special family weekend, but rather prepared our fantastic meal, offered different options for people’s tastes and then cleaned up perfectly. Would recommend him to everyone.

Thank you Paolo for a beautiful meal. Paolo planned and executed the surprise dinner for my mums birthday to perfection. From the beginning stages of planning he was attentive and flexible to our requests and dietary needs. He was excellent, easy to deal with, food was fantastic and loved by everybody.

Paolo was wonderful. He created the perfect menu for 9 people accommodating varying dietary requirements. We asked for a recommended wine pairing for each of the dishes, which he thoughtfully provided. The ingredients were fresh and great quality, the kitchen was left spotless! Would definitely recommend.

The evening was an incredible success and all our guests (and myself) had an awesome evening - it was a culinary journey!!! THANK YOU so very very much!!! I'm telling everyone I can about it ;-)

Great job Paolo

We had chef Paolo come to us for our anniversary celebration. He was responsive and made adjustments to the menu as per my request well prior. The food on the night was absolutely wonderful, every course was delicious and beautifully presented. Paolo was kind and friendly with us and also our children and dog. We will definitely look to have Paolo back again, he really exceeded our expectations. Thank you so much for everything Paolo, you made our night.

Paolo Bravi is a wonderful chef! He made a seafood-inspired menu, which we all loved! His displays were of such high quality, and he delivered it with so much grace. Highly recommend Paolo Bravi for any European , Seafood, High-class type of fine dining

We are very thankful for having them. Incredible all around. 5/5. Literally even the fussy eaters loved it. Would highly recommend them. Good value.

From my first interaction with Paolo I knew my home chef event was going to be amazing…… Absolutely everything was truly perfect….. So Paolo’s help and support with getting my experience was the next level…… from planning a GF delicious and flexible menu to helping me with table cloths was so appreciated…… So last night we had the best experience with Paolo and Antonio assisting….. the food was absolutely delicious and plentiful….. presentation outstanding….. I honestly can so highly recommend Paolo and whoever assists him if required….. a truly wonderful experience with a fantastic chef…… thank you Paolo

Paulo was amazing, extremely professional and answered all questions about the dishes! Everything was delicious and well presented 10/10 would recommend.

Paolo was exceptional. Prior to the event, he was very responsive and provided a personalised menu for my event. He was collaborative and willing to make changes to the menu to accommodate my preferences for the event. Paolo arrived before the scheduled arrival time to setup and was very friendly and engaging. Paolo’s food was exceptional and he created a very special evening for me and my fiancée. Every dish was beautifully presented and tasted incredible. He explained each course to us and there was a well timed break between each dish. The kitchen was cleaner than when Paolo arrived. Thank you Paolo for creating a special evening for us that we will never forget!

Chef Paolo was great. Great menu and communication. Beautifully presented and delicious food. Lovely manner with the kids who wanted to watch and learn. Left the kitchen spotless. Will use again. Thanks

Wow, thank you Paolo for the most incredible evening. Would recommend and cannot wait to find an excuse to book again in the future. What a wonderful, magical experience!

Paolo was very good, from the moment I first contacted him to when he left after the dinner. He showed flexibility in menu and nothing seemed too much. My whole family loved his food, it was so tasty. We all together had a beautiful night and he has contributed to a very special night with family from overseas. Would 100% recommend! Thank you Paolo!
