Chef Davis was amazing! Every dish was delicious and well thought out. The presentation was immaculate. Everything was tailored to our requests. Could not have been happier with this whole experience!

Wonderful experience. Professional and attentive to detail. Excellent dinner

Chef Ferragamo is absolutely amazing. He came, set up, cooked, was discreet and yet engaging. We had a baby having dinner with us and she ate and loved ALL the food. Food you would not normally like, you will love if Chef Farragamo cooked it. I’m booking him again hands down. Down to earth and fantastic. You CAN NOT go wrong with him.

Chef David was great! He was so professional and kind, and took his time. He made our “night in” so good. The food he makes, is made with love and attention to detail.

David was amazing and far exceeded our expectations for the night. Every dish was equally delicious and beautifully plated. David was also very knowledgeable about the food which was great.

Chef David was excellent! The food was delicious, interesting, seasonal, and local. The menu offerings were robust and varied. He was incredibly nice, funny, and engaging - especially with our young kids. I would certainly recommend David as well as book him again in the future. Thanks Chef!

Chef David created an incredible local and fresh menu for our cabin retreat. He was a pleasure to converse with and even made our dogs feel included throughout our services. We would recommend Chef David to anyone wanting a locally sourced modern Maine cuisine. Thank you for the wonderful experience.

Chef David Ferragamo and his sous chef, Anthony, were absolutely amazing! Chef Ferragamo worked closely with me over a few weeks to plan a surprise 13 course tasting menu for my husbands 65th birthday. A number of the guests said it was by far and away the best and most fun meal they had ever had. Each course flowed beautifully into the next and the combinations of flavors were creative and inventive, just as I had requested. With the help of Chef Ferragamo and my expert wine merchant, Alex Bluhm, we were able to pair some lovely old world wines and some fun current day ones with each course of the best celebration ever. I cannot recommend Chef Ferragamo, if you want a farm-to-table, inventive and delicious gourmet meal!

David was amazing and so much fun. He was able to curate a menu for all ages while also keeping it elevated. We would absolutely use him again.

We hired Chef David to prepare dinner for 4 adults and a toddler for 4 consecutive evenings. David took the job on very short notice and treated us to unforgettable taste experiences using local and home grown ingredients. The variety was great, seafood and meat likewise and the side dishes like David's special crispy potatoes and a quarter red cabbage with cauliflower puree were amazing. David was super likeable and very engaging especially with our 2 year old son. We will see you again soon at our house David!

The food we had was incredible and the Chef worked with us ahead of time to make the dinner special and specific for our family. I could not recommend Chef Ferragamo more.

Chef David’s food was incredible! He was professional while being engaging and fun and we will absolutely br sing him again. Cleaning up everything prior to leaving was such an added bonus and appreciated.

We had the pleasure of hiring Chef Ferragamo to cater a 70th birthday celebration, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment we met him, we knew we were in for something special. The Chef worked closely with us to curate a personalized menu, thoughtfully considering dietary preferences and special requests. On the big day, we were absolutely blown away. Every dish was prepared with such care and attention to detail. The presentation was impeccable, and the flavors—wow. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the meal. It was a perfect evening made even more special by the exceptional food and service. We can't thank Chef Ferragamo enough for making this milestone birthday so memorable. If you're considering a private chef for any occasion, I wholeheartedly recommend Chef Ferragamo. You won't be disappointed!

My adult sisters and I hired David Ferragamo to cook a meal for a surprise birthday for our mom. He put together a phenomenal menu with minimal back and forth and he easily accommodated a pescatarian and a gluten allergy. Good was amazing and David was a joy personally.

Chef Ferragamo did a brilliant job with our anniversary dinner. Arriving promptly at our door with flowers was a lovely start to our evening! He was friendly professional and easy to be around. The food was fabulous! Tasted great and presented beautifully.

Really amazing food and beautiful presentation! Definitely recommend.

Chef Ferragano is absolutely amazing! Not only was the menu he crafted unique and seasonal, he was able to flex it to dietary restrictions like gluten free, dairy free, soy free, etc. for guests that required alternate options. And every single course was incredibly delicious. It was one of the most delicious experiences I’ve ever had.

Plain and Simple ... David is incredible. We had such a wonderful experience having him cook for us. He truly took us on a "journey" throughout the entire night. He was also very engaging and professional and left our house cleaner than it was before. I would HIGHLY recommend him for any special occasion or event he is wonderful.

Chef Ferragamo was excellent! He crafted a delicious vegan menu, even making a few last minute additions based on the edible flowers available in our garden. Highly knowledgeable, incredible pairing of foods, unique dishes - our highest recommendation.

Chef David is not just a chef; he's a culinary artist who brings a blend of creativity, expertise, and warmth to your table, making any occasion uniquely special.
