It depends on what you are comparing it to. Dinner for eight at a well-reviewed restaurant on this coast in August, with two taxis there and back and a table booked months ahead, lands in the same range as a chef cooking the same evening in your rental — except nobody drives, the children eat when they are hungry, and the kitchen is clean before the chef leaves.
Where it is clearly worth it is a stay of several days with a group. The real median here is 86 EUR per guest for a group of 3 to 6 and 77 EUR for 7 to 12, and it keeps falling as the table grows.
What you are paying for beyond the cooking is that the menu, the timings, the allergies and the total price are settled in writing before you confirm, and that booking is only the beginning of our involvement rather than the end of it.
Yes, the chef always prepares the menu at your home for a more personalized experience. However, some prep work might be done beforehand for complex dishes.
Absolutely! Many guests are passionate about food and relish the chance to learn from the chef. You can pick up new kitchen skills and get a behind-the-scenes look at each dish on the menu. Feel free to jump in and cook alongside the chef for a truly interactive experience!
Yes, they're 100% fresh. Unlike restaurants with pre-made dishes, private chefs prioritize using the freshest ingredients possible. This is because the chef creates a customized menu specifically for you, then goes out and sources the finest ingredients to bring your chosen dishes to life.
Drinks are not typically included, but you can discuss adding them to the menu proposal with the chef.
Tipping for private chefs is entirely at your discretion. Our goal is for you to have an unforgettable experience, and the chef always appreciates a nice tip. However, the decision and amount are completely up to you.

How many chef services are booked in Amalfi Coast each month?
Most bookings in Amalfi Coast are not one-off dinners. They come from people who have rented a villa in Positano, Praiano or Ravello for a week and would rather not spend the holiday driving to town for a table every night. Friends' gatherings and family reunions are the two most common reasons people book here.
The coast fills from June to September and the best chefs are taken first, so the earlier you tell us your dates, the wider the choice we can put in front of you.
For a stay of several days, most groups book two or three dinners rather than every meal, and keep the rest of the week free. Tell us how your days are shaped and we structure the service around that instead of selling you a fixed package.
Once you choose a chef, we coordinate the details with them: arrival time, what the kitchen in your rental actually has, and who is allergic to what. It stays in writing in one place, so nobody has to repeat it in Amalfi Coast on the day.
Cost of a private chef in Amalfi Coast
What a private chef costs in Amalfi Coast depends on one thing above all: how many people sit down. Across the 376 services our chefs have actually delivered here, the average table is 6.9 guests, and the price per guest falls as the group grows.
Booking prices range from 56 EUR to 109 EUR per person.
For 13 people or more: 56 EUR
For 7 to 12 people: 72 EUR
For 3 to 6 people: 72 EUR
For 2 people: 109 EUR.
Before you book, the proposal states the full price, what is included and what is not: ingredients, the cooking, table service and leaving your kitchen as you found it. We handle the payment, so there is no cash to arrange with anyone on the night.
Season matters here more than in most places. July and August fill early along the coast, and a last-minute booking in high season costs more than the same dinner in May.
Tell us the dates, the number of guests and anything anyone cannot eat, and we come back with menu proposals built around that. Comparing them takes a few minutes, and nothing is confirmed until you choose.
Private chefs registrations
After many years of offering our services, we are lucky to have a fantastic team of chefs that keeps growing in Amalfi Coast!
2 personal chefs register with us every month. Our verification team reviews these new chef profiles daily to categorize them, allowing you to discover incredible new chefs every month.
What is the most reserved type of cuisine in Amalfi Coast?
The kitchens our chefs cook in Amalfi Coast are mostly rental kitchens, so the menus that work here are the ones built around what the coast has that week: Italian and Mediterranean dishes lead, and seafood follows the catch rather than a printed card.
That said, nothing on the list is fixed. If your group wants Japanese on the terrace on Thursday, that is a menu a chef can propose too.
Local cooking is what people ask for most here: 160 of the services delivered on this coast were local menus, ahead of 89 Italian. Chefs who work these towns buy at the same markets every week, which is why a Tuesday in September tastes different from a Tuesday in May.
Allergies, children who eat separately, a vegetarian in a group of eight: tell us about it once and it travels with the brief. We shape the request into something a chef can cook, and then we put forward the chefs who fit it. If something changes after you book, we stay responsible for sorting it out in Amalfi Coast.
A private chef for your villa on the Amalfi Coast
You booked the villa for the view, not for the supermarket run. Along this coast the practical problem of a week away is not finding somewhere to eat — it is doing it every single night, with a group of eight, on roads that take forty minutes to reach a table that was fully booked in April.
A chef in the house changes the shape of the week. Lunch stays loose, and dinner happens where everyone already is, on the terrace, without anyone driving.
This is where we come in rather than step back. Tell us what you have in mind — the dates, the group, the kitchen you have — and we put together a shortlist of chefs who fit that brief, each with the reason they fit. The menu, the timings, what is included and the full price are agreed in writing before anything is confirmed, we handle the payment, and we remain responsible for the service from that point on.
Amalfi Coast’s best Private Chefs come to your home
Training matters, but it is not what decides whether a chef works for your group. Cooking for eleven people in a rental kitchen with two working burners is a different job from plating in a restaurant, and the chefs who do it well along this coast are the ones who know which kitchen they are walking into.
So we do not hand you a directory. We read what you sent us, we put forward chefs who fit — the group size, the dates, the dietary restrictions, the kind of food you asked for — and we say why each one fits. Across 376 services delivered here, guests have rated the experience 4.7 out of 5 on 156 rated reviews.
You pick the chef and the menu. From there we coordinate the details with them and keep everything agreed in one place, so nothing depends on remembering what was said in a chat three weeks ago.
