Get to know me better

I’m a Los Angeles-based private chef who blends precision, creativity, and respect for ingredients to craft unforgettable dining experiences.

I’m Chef Dillion Cappello, a Los Angeles–based private chef with over 15 years of experience leading some of Southern California’s most dynamic kitchens. My career has taken me through Michelin-recognized restaurants, large-scale country club events, and high-end private catering — experiences that shaped my precision, leadership, and deep respect for hospitality.I specialize in seafood, French technique, Italian cuisine, and bold Mexican flavors. My time working as both an Executive Chef and Fish Monger has given me a hands-on understanding of sourcing, butchery and attention to detail.
