Chef Adriano Costa

Private Chef in Beverly Hills

I am a personal chef serving clients in Hollywood, Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Nashville (TN), Miami (FL), New York, and Pennsylvania. I have been working in restaurants since I graduated from culinary school in 1997. My style is Italian cuisine, enhanced with world ingredients and influenced by both technical modernism and classic techniques. I will cater to your needs and create a memorable meal you won't forget.

For me, cooking is...

Cooking is a passion a art and a necessity I am an artist and nurisher.

I learned to cook at...

I learned to cook from my nonna and my dad who taught me to make sauce and pasta from scratch.

A cooking secret...

My secrets in the kitchen are my secret.

Chef Adriano was excellent. The food was delicious and he was pretty quick at making the four courses as well. He accommodated us after having a 75+ guest dinner and coming to us the night after within 2 days of notice. Highly recommend!

Chef Adriano was great: great food, great conversationalist, and helped make our night fantastic. I'd highly recommend him

I was so excited to have a truly magical dinner with my fiancé, and let me tell you, it exceeded all of my expectations! The chef was absolutely fantastic, not only in preparing the most delightful dishes but also in giving us detailed insights into the menu choices. And oh my goodness, the food was beyond incredible! I am already looking forward to the next time we get to indulge in his extraordinary culinary skills.

Chef Adriano was very responsive when communicating before the meal. He did a wonderful job of substituting for the gluten free people. He was over an hour late, but he let me know and, for us, it wasn't a big deal because it was a casual situation. Every aspect of the meal was amazing and beautiful. Chef did a wonderful job of describing each dish and the presentation was perfect. The kitchen was spotless when he left. It truly made my friends birthday extra special.

Adriano was FABULOUS! His dishes were incredible. Very creative and unique. He has an amazing personality and was very fun and interesting to talk to and answered all my questions. I highly recommend him! Thank you for the memorable night, Adriano!

Cref Adriano was very upbeat and had great energy. He prepared the menu we selected and also went out of his way and accommodated my family with the changes made to the proposal. Chef Adriano cultivated my family and kept them completely speechless with the menu he served. Smile, smiles and more smiles. Food was cooked as requested, communicating through Take a Chef website was easy with prompt responses and scheduling our private dinner was simple navigating on the Take a Chef website. I would recommend Chef Adriano for anyone’s private dining experience. Take a Chef website was a great way to meet experienced Chefs and enjoys time spent that would never be forgotten on a full belly.
