Amazing experience. A meal to remember, can’t recommend highly enough. We were blown away by the service and the dishes.

Chef Nawel Chati was wonderful. He had great menu choices and was very responsive regarding allergies and menu and timing. His food was outstanding with beautiful presentation and he provided great descriptions of each dish. He worked in the background and was very welcoming to our group. I would not hesitate to hire Chef again if I am back in the area.

Chef Marzia was a blast! She created a worry-free pregnancy menu for my wifes birthday with Sardegna Flair! The food was tremendous and Marzia herself is pure joy and excitement. She took care of everything and will always have a special place in our hearts. Thank you so much!

We had Chef Francisco from Chef to Chef come to our vacation home to prepare an authentic Italian dinner for 6 adults. Not only did he create an amazing 4 course dinner but he engage us in each course, sharing how he prepares each dish, the ingredients and how he learned his craft. He immersed us in the whole experience with his knowledge and love for food. He immediately became not only a friend but a part of the family. The food was amazing. We all said that we never had a meal this good and we frequent high end restaurants in the New York area.

Paul prepared and served a wonderful meal for our family, the menu had natural Spanish flavours and Paul added his own local flair and Mallorca traditions that enhanced the experience. A very memorable and delicious meal.

If you're considering hiring Chef Mirko, stop searching and book him—you will not regret it. I can’t say enough good things about him. From our very first conversation through the final meal, Mirko was the consummate professional. He was responsive, thoughtful, flexible, and genuinely invested in making my birthday celebration extraordinary. Planning meals for a group of 10 with dietary restrictions and food allergies all week can be challenging, but every single meal was beautifully executed and consistently delicious. The food was restaurant quality, but what made the experience so special was that it never felt transactional. Mirko brought warmth, enthusiasm, and pride to every service, making each breakfast and dinner feel like an event. He took care of every detail, allowing us to simply relax, enjoy our time together, and celebrate. And then there were the truffle eggs. I don't say this lightly—they will change your life. I have had truffle dishes at Michelin-starred restaurants around the world, and somehow Mirko's truffle eggs managed to be one of the most memorable things I ate all week. Rich, perfectly balanced, and unbelievably flavorful, they're the kind of dish you'll still be thinking about long after your vacation ends. We requested them every day after trying them the first time. I would happily return to France just to eat them again. Thank you, Chef Mirko, for making my birthday week so memorable. Your talent, hospitality, and passion elevated every moment of our stay. We arrived as clients and left feeling like friends. I cannot recommend you highly enough.

This was a great experience!

What an amazing experience. Adolfo pulled through for us after a mess up (my fault) with the date. It was an incredible start to our vacation and would recommend him to anyone and everyone!!!

È impossibile non percepire l'amore e la passione che Chef Enrica mette nella preparazione dei suoi patti! Professionista impeccabile, e persona piacevole ed affabile, ha reso la nostra prima esperienza indimenticabile.

¡Una experiencia de 10! Éramos un grupo de amigas celebrando un fin de semana especial y fue todo un acierto. La comida estaba espectacular, el servicio fue cercano y profesional, y se adaptó perfectamente al ambiente. Nos hizo disfrutar sin preocuparnos de nada. Sin duda, repetiríamos y lo recomendamos al 100%. ¡Gracias por hacerlo tan especial!

Eric war ein super Koch für uns im Urlaub. Sehr aufmerksam, zuverlässig und freundlich. Er ist auf alle Wünsche eingegangen und hat jeden Tag ein sehr leckeres, ausgewogenes und abwechslungsreiches Menü gekocht. Nehmt Eric - er ist sehr gut! @Eric - können wir Dich nächstes Jahr einfliegen?

Équipe très professionnelle et bilingue en plus avec une discrétion hors pair et une excellente exécution. Bravo

Enzo s’est montré attentif aux restrictions alimentaires de notre groupe en adaptant sa proposition sans en compromettre la valeur gastronomique.

Abbiamo fatto una cena per un addio al nubilato e ci siamo trovate veramente bene! Lo chef è stato molto professionale e i piatti erano tutti buoni e le porzioni abbondanti! Lo consigliamo :)

Andrea delivered an amazing experience for our anniversary dinner, the food was incredible and Andrea provided and attentive and extremely thoughtful dinner experience - will definitely recommend and book him in the future

Thanks!

Sergio was very attentive to our two meals. He communicated before and we agreed on the menus. He was punctual, the food was amazing, and he cleaned up very well. I would highly recommend Sergio!!!

Amalya was an amazing chef and made us feel welcome from the moment she arrived. The food was absolutely delicious—some of the best Balinese food we’ve had—and every dish was packed with flavor. If you’re looking for an authentic meal and warm hospitality, I highly recommend cooking with Amalya!

Chef Miguel and his team were wonderful! The food was incredible and the presentation was perfect. It felt like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant in our own home! Would highly recommend!

Excelente experiência com o chef Benjamin e equipe, desde os pratos à personalidade. Recomendo a experiência, foram super atenciosos e cuidadosos com todos os detalhes. A comida estava extremamente saborosa
