Chef Dave was incredible. He worked so well with our group and kept the amazing flavors coming meal after meal!

We had a great experience with Vanni Gourmet - they were easy to communicate with, punctual, prepared beautiful, delicious food and told us the story behind all of the dishes! They were very flexible with working around my daughter's bedtime and letting us pause so I could put her down and enjoy the rest of my dinner afterwards. They also let us customize the menu to what sounded good to us! I would definitely recommend them.

We had a great experience - we were able to coordinate a menu beforehand that was easily customized to us. We were a little surprised when our chef ended up being Chef Sofia instead of chef Flavio but no big deal at the change, she did an excellent job, was punctual, lovely to work with and the food was delicious. We would recommend her!

From the booking to the dinner, everything was handled professionally. Great communication and amazing food! We had a bbq-menu and everything was grilled to perfection. The alioli was the best we have ever had. He also brought flowers from his garden for the table decoration, which was a sweet touch. Jairo and his waiter was so friendly. Can safely recommend them to anyone!

Our chef was amazing. The food he made was so delicious. I would highly recommend to book him.

El cheff Mathias fue excelente. Muy muy recomendable. Sus platillos fueron impecables con una elaboración muy compleja y deliciosa. El emplatado fue excelente con mucha calidad y balance de sabores maravillosos. Sin duda lo recomendamos muchísimo. El trato del cheff fue excelente y muy profesional.

Chef Jackson was INCREDIBLE! He was kind, engaging, and the food was exceptional. We had such a great experience and we can’t stop talking about it!!!

The only thing better than the food prepared by Chef Gerson and his team was the service, attention snd camaraderie. We loved every minute spent with him and his team and they represent the true Pura Vida.

Chef Stathis was amazing and I can highly recommend him. Finalizing the menu was easy and his food was absolutely delicious. We very much enjoyed the overall dining experience and it was great to have Nicole assist. There was plenty of food prepared with the freshest ingredients and everyone enjoyed the flavors. Thanks Chef Stathis!

Merci pour tout! C'était super!

O chef Fábio é um excelente profissional, muito empenhado e atento no seu trabalho! Será para repetir sem dúvida!

Chef Jose was incredible! His food was unreal and he was so great to work with. Everyone at the dinner was so impressed with every dish. He even made vegan dishes for two guests. It was such a special night and will be a memory we will never forget. Thank you, Chef!

We couldn’t have been happier with our experience. From the very beginning, Chef Valerio and Chef Anna were incredibly friendly, professional, and easy to work with. The menu proposal they created was so well thought out and perfectly aligned with our tastes that we didn’t need to make a single adjustment. They prepared more than enough delicious food for our group of 11, and every dish was a hit with our guests. What impressed us even more was their flexibility and responsiveness. When our original plans had to be canceled at short notice due to the weather forecast, they quickly stepped in and organized a live tiramisu and Aperol-making class, which turned out to be a wonderful addition to our wedding celebrations and was greatly appreciated by everyone. The entire experience felt warm, personal, and heartfelt. Despite not having had a tasting beforehand, the food matched our preferences perfectly. Our guests loved both the food and the atmosphere they created. Thank you so much Valerio and Anna for helping make our wedding so special. We would wholeheartedly recommend you to anyone looking for an exceptional chef and a truly memorable experience.

Franco & Mia, are a great team, very professional, efficient and warm. Franco cooked and plated delicious dishes, especially the prawn taco starter! Mia was very attentive, friendly and approachable. It was easy to converse with Franco in English from the beginning and plan our menu together, which was pre printed and beautifully presented on each dining plate. The evening went exactly as planned. Our guests and ourselves enjoyed celebrating my husbands birthday whilst Franco & Mia looked after everything else. They even supplied birthday candles! We thoroughly recommend booking Franco as your private chef whilst in Mallorca.

Recomendo vivamente e vamos repetir!!

Très belle expérience, un dîner où on profite de ses invités. Very good

Valerio and Anna were absolutely amazing. They were so thoughtful from the set-up to the clean up and gave us a really special night. The food was beautiful and delicious and we were wowed the entire time. I’d recommend them to anyone looking for a really gorgeous and one-of-a-kind experience. We would book them again and again if we could!

Martin was an absolute pleasure to have as our private chef. He truly was Accommodating and flexible. We would definitely use him again. Our highlights with Martin were his Dorade in salt crust, his piri piri chicken, his oysters, his langoustine, his lamb, his hamburgers and his salads, one of the best Ceaser salads! Just overall a wonderful experience with him.

Absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish - can't recommend more!

Chef Sakis is an exceptional chef! The dinner was absolutely delicious, and the presentation and overall setup were outstanding. Communication throughout the process was excellent, and every request and preference we had was accommodated without any issues. Chef Sakis was professional, attentive, and delivered a truly memorable dining experience. We highly recommend him and would gladly book him again in the future. Thank you, Sakis, for a wonderful evening! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
