Evan was the best thing at the Party....amazing food, vibe and experience.

Chef Renzo was a delight to work with from start to finish. His friendliness is what made us choose him over other chefs. He was punctual and kept us informed with how the dishes were progressing. Because we were in a rented home, we did not see the set up until the day before and I was impressed that Chef Renzo and his colleague we able to bring a 5-Star dinner to life in a rather small kitchen. Our group of 17 is still talking about the dishes! Thank you!

Jean was a professional and very cheerie woman. The food was fantastic and looked great. Had a really really lovely evening!

Chef Yana was amazing!! She was on time, professional, knowledgeable, and so kind. She was a pleasure to work with, and we created a beautiful menu together. She used our pizza oven and complimented the pizza with delicious salads and pasta. Her dessert of tiramisu and cheesecake was fantastic. She provided 5 star service, had a wonderful attitude and presence, and made our night so special!

We had a great time and the food was well crafted and delicious. I wish I could have eaten even more of it. Thank you, Chef Mack.

Chef James was beyond amazing, very professional. Every dish was presented in a beautiful way and super delicious!! I would highly recommend him.

Chef Gerson provided an outstanding experience during our stay in Playa Langosta, Costa Rica. We booked him for three dinner services, and each meal was exceptional. He prepared traditional Costa Rican cuisine with incredible care and pride in his culture, which really came through in both the flavors and presentation. What stood out most was how much everyone enjoyed the meals—including all five of our kids, ages 8–15. Chef Gerson even offered to create a separate kids’ menu, but it wasn’t necessary at all. Every one of them happily ate and loved the seafood-focused traditional dishes he prepared. If you’re looking for an authentic, high-quality dining experience at home, Chef Gerson is an easy recommendation.

Chef Elmo Bida was outstanding. Presentation was great and the food was delicious. We let him decide the menu and fix his favorite dishes. We were not disappointed. Thank you.

She was amazing! Food was wonderful.

Very nice experience. Great food, very engaged chef, can only recommend.

Giordan was amazing! He was on time, kind, and a very creative chef. His menu was incredible! He was flexible as we had some vegetarians and meat eaters and he catered to both groups easily. He even made dishes out kids would not typically try and they loved it. He presented the food beautifully and cleaned everything up. We would definitely use him again!

My grandfather is from Puglia and my father had not been back to visit in 40 years, so I wanted our trip to be perfect. I hired Chef Nico to cook for us at our villa and actually have food waiting when my family arrived. The experience could not have been more seamless, and the selection was so fresh and enjoyable that my family talked about our meals and time with Chef Nico every day of our trip after that. He prepared both lunch and dinner that day, and it was actually some of the best Apuglian cooking we had during our entire stay. His whole team was professional and very attentive. Even in setting the menu he was careful and imaginative (and some of us had multiple food allergies so this was no easy feat!). I would hire Chef Nico again in a heartbeat.

Miguel was fantastic to work with. He was incredibly flexible and did a great job adapting to the needs of our large group, making everything feel easy and well taken care of. The food was delicious, and he brought a calm, professional presence that made the whole experience seamless. Would definitely work with him again.

We hired Chef Carlos Moscoso for a private dinner in Zermatt, and it was so spectacular that we ended up hiring him again later in the week! The food was Michelin-star quality, the service was impeccable, and he made everyone feel completely relaxed and pampered. Combined with his professionalism, warmth, and impeccable service, he created a truly exceptional dining experience. We could not recommend him more highly.

Elliott was fantastic! I loved that he custom tailored a few things to match my partner’s favorites (it was his birthday). He was about 10-15 minutes early which was great. Awesome communication before the night. Elliott is more on the reserved side, you can tell he loves putting all his love into his food and is super passionate about what he does. Overall. The food was really delicious, I wasn’t sure what to expect as it was my first time using a service like this, but it was fantastic and we’ll definitely get Elliott in the future!

Karina was great! She was extremely friendly and prepared and created an incredible meal for our group. She also had a great vibe and brought lovely decorations to celebrate my birthday dinner. Highly recommend!

Avara was a delight to work with. We'd never worked with a private chef before and she patiently took us through multiple menu options, explained what could expect, and walked us through the process. Avara accommodated multiple dietary restrictions and was able to roll with multiple menu changes in the weeks leading up to our event with no complaint! Most importantly, the event went great. The presentation of the food was top notch, in particular the french garden salad. The various courses we had were unique and delicious, in particular the dessert (which was a special request of the birthday girl). And at the end of the night, our kitchen (and nice dishes) was totally cleaned!

Chef Luis cooked a delicious 3 course meal for our group of 14 with Portuguese BBQ meats and various salads, followed by panna cotta. There was plenty of food and his mother worked with him and served the food to the table so it was great we could all relax. Everything was left spotless afterwards and everyone really enjoyed it. Would recommend, thank you Luís

Elia was fantastic, and she made the vision of a relaxing but special dining experience successful. Elia was easy to communicate with in advance so I always felt like the food was under control and this took the worry away. The food was exceptional, very happy guests and very full stomachs! Everyone was so impressed with how she managed everything on her own and was so adaptable on the evening with timings that worked for us. The whole experience made the birthday celebration and I wouldn’t hesitate to book Elia again. Francesca and family

Great experience, we’ve used the service twice and will again in the future.
