Italian Chef – Authentic Asian Cuisine & Sensory Experiences at Your Home

I am an Italian chef with solid Italian and Mediterranean culinary roots, raised in a family of restaurateurs. My true passion is Asian cuisine, which I study directly at its place of origin: Japan, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines, Korea, Taiwan, and Singapore.

Every dinner with me is a sensory journey: the aroma of the dishes transports you through Asian street food and local traditions, allowing you to travel with your mind while enjoying authentic dishes that remain faithful to the original recipes. My Italian cuisine remains traditional and refined, while my Asian cuisine is always authentic, bringing experience, professionalism, and passion directly to your home.

As a certified executive chef and owner of my own business, I personally cook every dish, creating unforgettable private experiences for events, romantic dinners, or for tourists eager to discover the flavors of Asia.

We had a wonderful experience with our chef from Take the Chef. She prepared an excellent Japanese menu and demonstrated impressive knowledge of both the cuisine and the culture. Throughout the evening, she remained discreet and professional, working seamlessly in the background. Each dish was beautifully presented and clearly explained, and her standards of hygiene were outstanding. The kitchen was left spotless and exactly as requested, which we truly appreciated. If there is one small point for improvement, it would be the pacing of the evening. The courses were served a little too quickly, leaving limited time to fully enjoy each dish. Additionally, her departure felt somewhat abrupt, as we had not quite finished dessert—though we understand this may have been due to a long journey home. Overall, we would absolutely recommend her without hesitation. She is a talented chef, a genuinely positive person, and her knowledge of Asian cuisine is exceptional. We would be delighted to book her again in the future.

Guiseppina, did a wonderful job working with us. We asked her to design a Korean cooking epexereince where we cooked with her and it worked wonderfully. The food was very yummy and Authentic at the same time. Would highly recommend her

She was amazing! Food was wonderful.

Magnifique ! Merci à Giuseppina pour son service. Les plats étaient excellents, très bien présentés, et fidèles au menu convenu. Giusepinna était ponctuelle et discrète, tout était parfait. Je recommande à 100%, et encore merci car grâce à vous nous avons passé un excellent séminaire.

J’ai déjà envoyé un commentaire détaillé et très positif. J’ai reçu 2 fois votre demande d’évaluation…

Nous avons beaucoup apprécié de nous sentir chez nous, sans le stress que génère un repas pour 12 personnes, et de nous faire servir un excellent repas par une cuisinière aussi aimable que professionnelle!

Incredible fusion Italian / Asian cuisine

Guiseppina was very professional, and the dishes were exactly as bespoke, she added her thoughts to it since she knew it was for my birthday party. I would hire her anytime again .

Thank you, Chef was fantastic.

Excellent food and service.

Giuseppina è una persona precisa, puntuale e molto professionale. L'educazione la fa da padrona ed io e mia moglie, per la cena del nostro 14esimo anniversario ci siamo trovati subito a nostro agio. La qualità dei prodotti, l'impiattamento e la precisione nel servirci il vino è di altissima qualità. Consiglio vivamente.

Super good and professional experience with Guisy and the waiter she brought. Highly recommended

Ho regalato questa esperienza alla mia famiglia. La chef si è da subito mostrata molto disponibile. C'è stato un'ottima comunicazione nella fase di organizzazione della cena e gli ospiti sono rimasti estremamente soddisfatti e colpiti dalle proposte culinarie e dal servizio proposto. Super consigliata! In futuro lo ripeteremo senza dubbio!! Roberta

Giusy was amazing. She was a delight to work with in planning the menu and made great suggestions to accommodate some of our needs. The food was incredibly flavorful and the portions were just right. She even paired wines with each course and they were outstanding. I would definitely hire her again and recommend that if you are considering you do so … 5 STAR!!!

We had a wonderful 4 course dinner! Chef was very professional and the food was amazing!

Giusy is an incredible chef and one of a kind. I hired her for a luxury yoga retreat that I host annually in Zermatt, Switzerland and she was the only chef who truly understood my need for vegetarian and gluten free food. Giusy is also trained extensively in gluten free and a variety of Asian cuisines and her ability to translate this expertise into delicious and beautiful food is amazing. She is polite, discreet, cleans everything perfectly afterwards and most importantly the food is out of this world. Very much hoping to have her with us again. I noted some reviews said she had minimal English but in fact Giusy speaks English quite well and is very easy to communicate with and is very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much Giuseppina!

Giuseppina has been amazing. She’s very passionate about cooking - detailed-oriented, great quality of ingredients, accommodating and professional! I hired her for my husband’s surprise birthday and my husband was super pleased with Giuseppina.

Amazing chef, very nice ! Knows her cooking perfectly !

L'esperienza con Giuseppina é stata ottima! Attenta e precisa ha ci ha soddisfatto con sapori, colori e la sua disponibilitá. La consiglio vivamente.

Giuseppina Serra was great. She drove from Italy with a waiter to us in Verbier, Switzerland and prepared a perfect four course French experience for the 9 of us. Highly recommend and will use again.
