Chef Alessia Montini Sincich

Cook At Home in Olbia

My name is Alessia Montini, and I am a Luxury Private Chef with over 15 years of experience in the culinary world.

I am available in northern Sardinia Porto Cervo & Porto Rotondo.

My journey began in childhood, in my grandmother Carla’s kitchen, where I learned that food is first and foremost an act of care, presence, and love. That foundation continues to guide everything I create.

I started my professional career in Venice, where my interest in health, nutrition, and conscious cooking took shape and deepened over the years. Traveling extensively across Europe, working in private villas, chalets, and yachts, I have allowed places, cultures, and people to naturally influence my cuisine. The Mediterranean heritage I grew up with is now enriched by global colors, techniques, and sensibilities.

My background in nutrition and holistic food systems has led me to work with wild plants, edible flowers, and seasonal ingredients, integrating approaches such as Ayurvedic-inspired cuisine, vegan and vegetarian menus, gluten-free, kosher-style, paleo, and keto—always tailored to the guest, never imposed.

I work as a Health Food Coach, creating balanced, elegant menus that respect both pleasure and well-being. Quality and seasonality are central to my philosophy, which is why I collaborate closely with small producers and farmers, sourcing ingredients directly and consciously.

Alongside my private chef work, I support green and regenerative projects in Italy and Sardinia, contributing to the creation of garden spaces and educational nutrition initiatives.

I am available for private culinary experiences including brunches, lunches, dinners with curated wine pairings, barbecues, onboard chef services, cooking classes, vineyard sunrise tastings, pizza experiences (with wood-fired oven), and private events with selected collaborators.

This is not just what I do — it is who I am.

Warm regards,

Luxury Chef Alessia Montini

For me, cooking is...

For me cooking is an act of care, presence, and responsibility.

I learned to cook at...

From my grandmother Carla. She tought me everything that I know about italian cousine, homemade pasta and the real italian taste.

A cooking secret...

My secret in the kitchen lies in passion, tradition, exceptional local ingredients, and the beauty of seasonal, freshly sourced food—finished with a s

We’ve hired private chefs all over Italy and Europe, and Alessia and her assistant Teodora have been our absolute favorite. From their warm and friendly personalities to their exceptional cooking and service, we felt incredibly well taken care of - and very full! Alessia was communicative and collaborative with the menus, and the execution was perfection - some of the best meals I’ve ever had. I highly recommend her!

Chef was incredible along with her staff. We originally planned a dinner one evening for a large group at the villa. She offered to pick up and select local wines, prosecco, gin etc and accompany those with her multi course meal. It was excellent. Her staff in particular acted as bartenders and of course serving and cleaning up after. The planning and execution was so great we added two breakfast meals for the same large group on other days. Again, the menu, service and quality were excellent. I only wish we could go back sooner and do it again.

Alessia’s meal was exquisite and she was a very thoughtful chef who provided extra information about the food and wine. Would recommend!

Ein ausseergewöhnliches erlebniss mit einem ganz speziellen menschen. Wir waren 9 personen und alle waren begeistert wenn sich die möglichkeit wieder mal ergeben sollte sehr gerne wieder. Herzlichen dank an alessia

Wow! Magical experience, outstanding food, unbelievablly talented chef! We hired Alessia for a group of 19 people in a private home in Sardinia. She created an incredible experience and memory for us. From the table settings to the cocktail hour to her exquisitely prepared culinary masterpiece, she hit every mark and knocked it out of the park. I cannot recommend her enough. You will not be disappointed.

Stress free option for large group dinner! The chef did everything start to finish & the meal was delicious. Would recommend!

Alessia was a dream of a chef! She clearly made all of the dishes with so much passion and love. Not only did she cater to our dietary requirements, but also edited the menu for my tricky 8 year old niece, which was very much appreciated! All the dishes Alessia made us were so delicious, nicely presented and made with fresh ingredients. I highly highly recommend her!

Amazing experience & food! Would highly recommend!
