Chef Alfonso Cantarelli

Hello! My name is Alfonso Cantarelli, I am an Italian chef from Naples with over 10 years of experience in the culinary world.

Born and raised in Napoli, I have built my career between Lisbon and Amman, managing restaurants, consulting for kitchens, and leading as a head pizzaiolo specialized in authentic Neapolitan pizza.

My cooking philosophy is simple: seasonal ingredients, artisanal techniques, and a creative touch that connects Southern Italian traditions with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern influences.

Over the years I have:

Opened and managed successful restaurants and pizzerias in Lisbon.

Designed and executed menus for private dining events, pop-ups, and kitchen takeovers.

Worked as a professional consultant for Molino Casillo (one of Italy’s leading flour mills).

Specialized in both fine dining tasting menus and casual Italian comfort food.

As your private chef, I will take care of everything: menu design tailored to your preferences, high-quality ingredient sourcing, and an unforgettable dining experience right in your home. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a family celebration, or a lively gathering with friends, I will bring Italy to your table — with warmth, flavor, and authenticity.

Specialties: Neapolitan pizza, fresh pasta, seafood, Mediterranean tapas, Italian pastries.

Let me create a unique culinary journey for you — buon appetito! ????????????
