Chef Demaride Campanile

Chef Demaride was amazing - such a lovely person and a fabulous chef! She and Vito arrived right on time and prepared us a beautiful and delicious meal. She guided us through each course with care. Her menu was truly wonderful! This was our first time having a private chef and it was such a treat. I would definitely recommend takeachef and Demaride - such an easy and delicious process from start to finish! Thank you!

We had an absolutely wonderful private chef experience with Demaride from start to finish. The food was beautifully presented, incredibly fresh, and every course was full of flavor. It truly felt like having a fine-dining restaurant experience in the comfort of our own space. Demaride was professional, friendly, attentive, and made the entire evening feel effortless. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to simply relax, enjoy the meal, and spend quality time together. The kitchen was also left spotless afterward, which made the experience even better. This was such a special and memorable experience, and we would highly recommend Demaride to anyone looking for an elevated and personal dining experience. We would absolutely book again!

Demaride was incredible! We discussed menus via WhatsApp and she was right on time. The food was the best of our entire trip through the Puglia region. Delicious!! 10/10

We had an incredible dinner with Chef Demaride - she was so amazing and the food delicious. Highly recommended!

First off, Demaride is an incredibly kind and hard-working individual who is a joy to be around – this made our experience all the more enjoyable! The food was out of this world – authentic, high-quality ingredients, beautifully presented, and of course absolutely delicious. Would highly recommend to anyone who is looking for an exceptional and authentic cuisine experience in Puglia.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Demaride as our family’s private chef for a week during our holiday in Puglia, and she exceeded every expectation. From the moment we arrived, Demaride took us on a true culinary journey through the region, introducing us to the flavours, traditions and ingredients that make Puglian cuisine so special. Every meal was beautifully prepared, incredibly fresh and absolutely delicious. It wasn’t just fantastic food, it was an experience. One member of our family has coeliac disease, so following a gluten-free diet is a medical necessity rather than a lifestyle choice. Demaride understood this immediately and approached every dish with genuine care, knowledge and passion. The gluten-free meals were never an afterthought or compromise. They were crafted with the same creativity, authenticity and attention to detail as every other dish, allowing everyone around the table to enjoy the same wonderful dining experience together. Beyond her exceptional cooking, Demaride’s personality made the week even more memorable. She is warm, kind, thoughtful, professional and incredibly hardworking. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and she consistently went above and beyond to ensure every meal was perfect. We genuinely could not speak more highly of Demaride or recommend her more enthusiastically. She was a huge part of what made our family holiday so special, and we hope to have the opportunity to enjoy her cooking again in the future.

Chef Demaride was amazing! She delivered an amazing dinner. It was absolutely delicious! Highly recommend.

WOW! Demaride is an incredibly skilled and talented chef. It was an absolute honour to have her cook for my husband and me at our intimate 8 person wedding. She was the perfect chef for such a special celebration. She truly went above and beyond. She even picked nearby flowers and olive branches to beautifully set the table, which made everything feel so thoughtful and special. Then came the food, and every single one of us agreed it was one of the best meals we’ve ever had. The flavours, the presentation, and the obvious passion she puts into her cooking made the whole experience unforgettable. If you’re thinking about booking Demaride, do it. You won’t regret it.

Demaride was fantastic from the minute she arrived until the end of the evening. Very positive that she speaks and understands English very well. The contact prior to the event was punctual and informative, and the menu was very extensive so we had difficulties selecting the dishes - and all we selected were very tasteful. My entire family and myself loved the dinner which Demaride made so fantastic. We can strongly recommend this experience. Lise

Our birthday party dinner by Demaride was awesome. She prepared a great extended menu, as we agreed beforehand with the dishes being very fresh, really tasty and presented in a beautiful way. She made our dinner flawless and we had a great time being served by her. Would recommend her 100%. Thank you so much!

We had the pleasure of having Demaride as our private chef during our family holiday in Puglia, and she created one of the highlights of our trip! After a long day of travelling and delayed flights, it was such a treat to completely switch off and enjoy a wonderful evening together as a family. Demaride has such a warm, friendly presence and immediately made everyone feel relaxed and welcome. The food was outstanding. Everything was fresh, delicious and thoughtfully prepared. I especially loved the deep fried pasta with dips and the wine pairings she recommended. The fish dish was another standout, simple, fresh and full of flavour. You could really taste the quality of the local ingredients. She was incredibly accommodating, setting food aside for family members who arrived late and even preparing a special bolognese for my young nephew. More than just a fantastic chef, Demaride helped turn a stressful travel day into a special family memory. It was one of the few evenings where everyone could simply sit back, relax and enjoy each other's company, and that was such a gift. I would book her again in a heartbeat and have already recommended her to others. If you're visiting Puglia and looking for an authentic, memorable dining experience, I couldn't recommend Demaride more highly!

We had a wonderful time, Demaride was well prepared, and the food was fantastic. We'd love to come again.

Chef Demaride was absolutely amazing. Her attention to detail, presentation and food were all 10/10. We had a wonderful evening and would absolutely recommend hiring Demaride for your Italy experience. I wish I could post a picture of some of the dishes. Perfection.

Era la primera vez que utilizada un chef a domicilio y la experiencia superó todas las expectativas! Fue genial en todos los aspectos, repetiremos!

Demaride was a delight. Highly professional, extremely diligent, ever attentive and with a delightfully dry sense of fun, she cooked 8 Puglian meals for us over 12 days. On one day she catered for 16 with a feast fit for a king. On another it was our granddaughter's birthday and she incorporated a cookery class on local dishes for the children. It was a memorable occasion with little hands making the orecchiette pasta and panzerottini for the lavish meal. Overall, the gastronomic experience far exceeded anything we could have expected in a local restaurant, if indeed we could have found restaurants with such menus, and without any of the drink/drive constraints. At about Euro450 a meal for the ingredients and the chef's services we considered this very good value for money as we would have no doubt spent similar amounts in restaurants but without the breadth and quality of fare.

From the very start, Demaride’s menu was a class above. It really excited me and she totally understood the brief. Her communication in the run up was brilliant. When she arrived, she worked incredibly hard and offered us an outstanding dinner for a BIG group - an even more impressive achievement considering the size of the very small kitchen. She was brilliant and we would absolutely recommend! Thank you Demaride.

Damaride was amazing! She is a true chef and created an absolute stunning dinner for my family. She went above and beyond to make this dinner so special for us—she worked with us on setting the perfect menu and suggested so many great wine pairings that went so well. She even brought pasta for our four year old, again above and beyond. I would book Demaride again and again and suggest you should too! She was able to work in a very small kitchen and had everything set perfectly!

Chef Demaride created a beautiful menu and delicious food to give us a very special evening. Thank you so much!

We hired Demaride as a private chef for our group holiday in Italy — 6 adults and 8 children — and she exceeded our expectations in every way. Planning the menu in advance was effortless. Demaride handled everything smoothly, including doing all the shopping ahead of time when she realized the local shops would be closed due to a public holiday. That kind of initiative made a real difference. On the day, Demaride arrived on time and served dinner exactly when promised — which was especially important with so many children in the group. She prepared wonderful adult dishes alongside thoughtfully adapted kids' menus, keeping everyone happy at the table. Demaride was warm, professional, and genuinely a pleasure to have around. Every single person in our group loved her, and the food was absolutely to our full satisfaction. We would book Demaride again without hesitation and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a private chef in Italy.

Demaride ci ha offerto una cena speciale, ricca e originale. Ci hanno colpito la varietà dei sapori e dei profumi, la presentazione invitante, la creatività, l'abbondanza e la gentilezza. Esperienza indimenticabile.
