Chef Leonardo Vitali

Personal Chef in Coira

My name is Leonardo Vitali, I'm 33 years old, I've been working in the kitchen for 19 years. I began my journey in the kitchen when I was 14 and a half years old in the historic center of Lucca in the most prestigious café when I was still attending the hotel management school in Barga. At the age of 20 I started travelling, working in Italy, Belgium and Switzerland. The desire to learn and to get involved was always stronger and led me to work in large kitchens of 4S, 5 star luxury hotels, and the good fortune to work with great professionals including 4 Michelin chefs. I currently work in Switzerland in the Grisons, I carry out consultancy in Italy for restaurateurs and I do dinners at home. I define myself as a traditional, passionate and very creative cook. I love making people feel good at the table.

For me, cooking is...

Passion and dedication.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook in trattorias with elderly people with a story to tell. Then later over the years I refined the technique.

A cooking secret...

Few quality ingredients, worked very well.

Leonardo went above and beyond. Leonardo was very accomodating. I requested family style meals for my son and five of his friends who were staying in an airbnb chalet in St. Anton. He was able to accomodate dietrary restrictions and allergies. My son and his friends said Leonardo's meals were excellent! He even helped the other boys who did not want a chef with cooking tips. I would highly recommend Leonardo.

Leonardo did a great job at cooking for me and my family for a couple of days! Absolutely recommend him. Very friendly personality and great cooking skills.

Leonardo was truly fantastic. He made dinner for our family of five for three nights in a row. We trusted him to come up with a delicious menu and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious, artfully presented and with charming commentary from our chef. The last night, at our request, he gave us a cooking class and was so knowledgeable. I would highly recommend Leonardo! PS - he brought all of his own platters and plates and cleaned up as he went along, so the kitchen was spotless after a four course meal. Truly amazing.

Chef Leonardo was incredible! Highly recommend. We were a group of 6 Americans traveling to Lake Como. All of his dishes were delicious. The blackberry risotto and espresso tiramisu were fantastic! 5 star dinning in the comfort of your vacation home! He left the kitchen cleaner than when he started. Prior to meal, we were easily able to alter the menu as needed. Leonardo was easy to work with and an excellent communicator. We would book with Leonardo again!

Fantastic is the word that comes to mind! Chef Leonardo Vitali made our last night in Lake Como very special with a beautiful meal, with wine, prepared at a difficult location, at a small Airbnb, with lots of steps and a small kitchen. The meal was fantastic, he brought in everything needed, and it was beautifully presented, very tasty. He allowed some of our group to help in the preparation and he was very kind and engaging. It was an intimate family event for ten of us, and was a nice change from going to a restaurant. He made the evening for us and we would do it again for sure! Thanks Chef Leonardo!

Leonardo did an amazing job - very polite & incredible food, especially the pasta. He also left the kitchen very very clean & recommended us in advance some good wines.

Leonardo was incredible, the food was delicious. We were 6 adults and 3 children, even the children that are sometimes difficult with food, they were extremely happy. Not only was the food and the presentation that was incredible but as well Leonardo, he was discreet and extremely professional. He left the kitchen super clean before he left. Highly recommended. Grazie Leonardo!

fantastic experience. great cooking and service. Leonardo is a master chef

A huge thank you to Leonardo for creating an incredible menu for our dinner party. All 14 guests were very impressed and thoroughly enjoyed his carefully curated five course meal. From the first moment of contact, I was confident the evening would be a success and I was not disappointed. He was very open to creating a classic mediterranean menu with a hint of delicate indian spices. He served delicious seasonal vegetables and the fish and beef were cooked to perfection … the melt-in-your-mouth filet of beef was the best we’ve all tasted in a long time and the dessert was fabulous. We will definitely be booking Leonardo again and would highly recommend him, not just for his cooking skills but for his very attentive, friendly and professional manner. Thanks again, Leonardo.
