Lavoro da quando ho 14 anni. L'esperienza nell'hotellerie di lusso mi ha aperto tanti orizzonti. Mio nonno pasticciere mi ha trasmesso l'amore per il prodotto e l'amore per la soddisfazione dell'altro.

Non vorrei fare altro. Mi piace quando con prodotti selvatici e di nicchia posso stupirvi con la semplicità.

For me, cooking is...

Cucino per il piacere della condivisione .

I learned to cook at...

Ho avuto esperienze importanti..ma la dedizione di mia nonna per la preparazione dei deschi familiari mi ha illuminata.

A cooking secret...

Nessun segreto. ingredienti selvatici,poveri..quasi anonimi...invece ..con carico di sapore,gusto e versatilità stupefacenti.

We booked Ilaria for my hen party in Florence, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our trip. From start to finish, everything was flawless. The menu was carefully curated and celebrated authentic Tuscan flavors, with every dish beautifully presented and bursting with taste. Ilaria not only cooked to perfection but also shared stories and insights about the ingredients and local traditions, which made the whole evening even more special. What really stood out was the warm, professional, and fun energy she brought to the evening. Ilaria managed to create a relaxed atmosphere while serving restaurant-quality food in the comfort of our apartment. It felt intimate, personal, and so celebratory — exactly what we wanted for such an important occasion. If you’re looking for a private chef in Florence to make your event extraordinary, look no further. We couldn’t recommend Ilaria enough — truly an experience we’ll treasure forever!

Ilaria was very professional and talented. The food was great ! She worked on our schedule. We definitely recommend her. Her prices are very fair. Her clean up was above and beyond.

Amazing experience. Iliaria was fantastic in every part.

We used Ilaria for a private dinner just for the two of us. The meal was excellent and Ilaria was a true professional, explaining all the dishes and working hard on the presentation. She left the kitchen very clean. We can’t recommend her highly enough.
