Chef Roberto was absolutely amazing. I've hired chefs before in different countries, and he was probably the best I've ever worked with. The menu is creative and expensive, with far more food than we could ever handle. His expertise with the suckling pig was like nothing I've ever experienced before I would hire this guy in a minute great food, gracious personality, and a real joy to work with

We enjoyed our dinner with Chef Sara very much. She was personable and obviously talented in the kitchen, roasting and chopping and mixing and blending - so many interesting flavors and spices were used. She described that she likes to put her own little tweak on each traditional dish, and she did! We enjoyed it very much and hope that we will be able to hire her again at some point!

Maria and her team are phenomenal. Our meal was impeccable. Every dish was cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. She was such a lovely addition to our event. Would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area!

Incredible! Great experience, will definitely do this again

All was great, Christian and his team are highly recommended

Chef Bridget was absolutely amazing. Her food was fresh, delicious and just absolutely sensational. She interacted with us during her cook and that just made our experience even more exquisite! I honestly loved everything about her service and I'd definitely hire her again!

Chef Nicolae was awesome. Personable and made lovely dishes. His price was similar to a mid level restaurant but it produced high level results, and in our rented vacation property. Highly recommend.

Marcus was a delight to work with from start to finish. He communicated promptly ahead of the event and was happy to make adjustments to suit our needs. The food was absolutely delicious and service immaculate. Thank you so much!

We recently had the pleasure of hosting Chef Tomás Borba for a delightful 4-course dinner experience at our vacation villa. We wanted to share our fantastic experience with everyone. Chef Tomás impressed us right from the start with his excellent communication. He truly listened to our preferences and offered some fantastic menu suggestions that made our evening special. The food was simply outstanding. Each dish was prepared with love and attention to detail, and the presentation was top-notch. It was clear that Chef Tomás used the freshest ingredients available, which made a noticeable difference in taste. Even our kids were delighted with the delicious Bolognese dish specially prepared for them. The wine pairing was spot on, and we were pleasantly surprised by the selection of fine and rare wines that complemented the meal perfectly. Chef Tomás also left our kitchen in impeccable condition, showing his commitment to hygiene. Beyond his culinary skills, Chef Tomás is a friendly and approachable person who added a fun and relaxed vibe to our evening. We had a truly enjoyable and memorable time. In summary, our experience with Chef Tomás Borba was exceptional, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking a superb culinary adventure.

Chef Jessica exceeded all of our expectations. She was more than accommodating and very easy to work with, an experience you don’t want to miss out on. Highly recommend and will be booking again!

Chef Quinn is incredible. Everything was delicious!

Rodolfo was amazing. Each dish was thoughtfully plated and presented, the menu he proposed was curated to the exact cuisine we inquired about, and delicious! We truly enjoyed his presence and had a great meal that we will always remember.

Chef Oren gave my fiance and I an incredible experience for an in home birthday celebration. He was very quick to respond to any inquiries, was punctual and very friendly. The food and the presentation was amazing and it was an unforgettable experience for us. Highly recommend.

Our dinner prepared by Chef Fabio was the highlight of our trip to Sicily. From the prep to presentation to clean up, he and his colleague Giuseppe made the evening a delicious and relaxing experience for our group of 8. Fabio was especially helpful creating the menu to the tastes of our guests and the end result was incredible. Everyone agreed this meal was the best we had the entire trip. Should we be fortunate to visit Sicily again, I would definitely hire Chef Fabio again. 100% recommend!

Mohammed was amazing! Everything was so good and he was incredibly nice!!! We would highly recommend him :)

Chef Wayan was such a nice surprise. He made a miracle having to cook only with one stove and a super basic kitchen. He made a delicious and super tasty balinese dinner for my husband and me for our anniversary. Beside being a very good chef, he was also a very polite and friendly person, we had a lovely chat throughout the evening. We really loved the experience, Thank you!

Great experience! Chef Lucky was very professional. We were able to have a nice meal with our family without feeling like Chef Lucky was intruding. Well worth the money.

We recently had the pleasure of experiencing a family style meal prepared by Chef Jewel. The food was fantastic, each course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Every bite was a delightful journey of taste and texture. Jewel’s professionalism extended beyond the meal itself. She assisted us in setting the table and left the kitchen spotless, allowing us to savor the memories without any cleanup stress. Overall, we enjoyed the lovely night and can't recommend the experience enough. It's perfect for a special occasion or even just to elevate an ordinary evening into something extraordinary.

Chef Meychel and his partner were fantastic. Such a great experience and we thoroughly enjoyed every dish he created. Would highly recommend!

Gracias Isabel, todo perfecto !
