We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. From the very beginning, Chef Valerio and Chef Anna were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. The menu proposal they created was so well thought out and perfectly aligned with our tastes that we didn’t need to make a single adjustment. They prepared more than enough delicious food for our group of 11, and every dish was a hit with our guests. What impressed us even more was their flexibility and responsiveness. When our original plans had to be canceled at short notice due to the weather forecast, they quickly stepped in and organized a live tiramisu and Aperol-making class, which turned out to be a wonderful addition to our wedding celebrations and was greatly appreciated by everyone. The entire experience felt warm, personal, and heartfelt. Despite not having had a tasting beforehand, the food matched our preferences perfectly. Our guests loved both the food and the atmosphere they created. Thank you so much Valerio and Anna for helping make our wedding so special. We would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional chef and a truly memorable experience.

Franco & Mia, are a great team, very professional, efficient and warm. Franco cooked and plated delicious dishes, especially the prawn taco starter! Mia was very attentive, friendly and approachable. It was easy to converse with Franco in English from the beginning and plan our menu together, which was pre printed and beautifully presented on each dining plate. The evening went exactly as planned. Our guests and ourselves enjoyed celebrating my husbands birthday whilst Franco & Mia looked after everything else. They even supplied birthday candles! We thoroughly recommend booking Franco as your private chef whilst in Mallorca.

Recomendo vivamente e vamos repetir!!

Très belle expérience, un dîner où on profite de ses invités. Very good

Valerio and Anna were absolutely amazing. They were so thoughtful from the set-up to the clean up and gave us a really special night. The food was beautiful and delicious and we were wowed the entire time. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a really gorgeous and one-of-a-kind experience. We would book them again and again if we could!

Martin was an absolute pleasure to have as our private chef. He truly was Accommodating and flexible. We would definitely use him again. Our highlights with Martin were his Dorade in salt crust, his piri piri chicken, his oysters, his langoustine, his lamb, his hamburgers and his salads, one of the best Ceaser salads! Just overall a wonderful experience with him.

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish - can't recommend more!

Chef Sakis is an exceptional chef! The dinner was absolutely delicious, and the presentation and overall setup were outstanding. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and every request and preference we had was accommodated without any issues. Chef Sakis was professional, attentive, and delivered a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend him and would gladly book him again in the future. Thank you, Sakis, for a wonderful evening! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Chef Sergio and his wife were incredible duo. Cooked for a group of 11 friends celebrating 50 year birthdays. All the courses were delicious and hard to pick a favourite. But I would say the beef carpaccio, sea bass ceviche, prawns, duck magret and chocolate tart dessert were just outstanding. Everyone was blown away by the high standard. Very personable chef couple and made a wonderful evening special. Their attention to detail on setting up and tidying up were also a stand out feature. We did nothing apart from relax and enjoy the food. I would highly recommend for a group if you are in the Lisbon area. We will certainly use them again.

This was an amazing experience. Christina was the absolute best and the food was amazing!

Cristian is very talented, great food combinations, beautiful presentations!!

Chef McAlister was Awesome and food was fresh & delicious. Our first experience and because of him it will not be the last. 10 stars- Lobster and Ox-tails was exceptional!

Chef Michael was incredible. Punctual, accommodating, and friendly—and he cooked delicious food. 5 stars.

Anna was so interested in the food and took such trouble to add unique elements to every dish. Excellent preparedness. A delicious dinner, would do it again.

Our Chef Chris was amazing. We were in Palma, Spain and she made us 4 delicious dinners. She was extremely accommodating and so nice. We felt spoiled and enjoyed everything she made for us. Thank you!

Chef Hugo was simply outstanding. The was food was stunning and we could not recommend him more highly. You won’t be disappointed!

Used this for the first time for our anniversary. Enjoyed every moment. Would recommend and use again.

Chef Fabio was wonderful! The dishes he prepared were so good!! If we ever find ourselves back in Italy we will look Fabio up again.

I decided to take a private chef experience on a very short notice due to various circumstances and I was pleasantly surprised when Vasilis responded with a very relevant options, quickly adjusted to my needs and showed amazing professionalism throughout our interaction. He was attentive to our special requests, kind, entertaining and truly passionate about food and making us feel welcomed and relaxed. In fact he went above and beyond, taking care of our kid’s meal as well, offering wine recommendations and leaving us with some treats afterwards. I enjoyed the dinner and the vibe, and I would definitely recommend Vasilis! And yes - the food was amazing.

Fantastic chef, delicious food, very good experience! We look forward to hosting our next experience with Cintamani!
