Chef Antonio Di Padova

Chef Pessoal a Siena

executive chef, food and beverage manager with over ten years of experience in Italy and abroad. I started in the pastry shop, becoming executive pastry chef of prestigious fine dining and Michelin-starred establishments. Over the years I have been lucky enough to work with great chefs on an international level, experimenting with new cooking techniques, then becoming first an executive chef consultant for many structures and then a home chef for prestigious international clients.

My cuisine ranges from tradition to innovation. The study of international cuisines and flavors attracts me a lot, which is why I am always looking for ingredients that are fundamental to the success of the dish.

Currently, my services are available throughout the country, all thanks to my agency that recruits cooks and formals throughout Italy.

chef Antonio di padova, whose background as a pastry chef is reflected in the particular attention to detail and the search for balance within the dishes I create. The choice of products is fundamental and favors locally sourced raw materials, from which fresh products are selected based on seasonality.

The priority is to enhance all foods, favoring long cooking at low temperatures, techniques that allow the nutritional properties and organoleptic qualities of foods to be kept unaltered, obtaining a tender and succulent final product and emphasizing the flavors thanks to the addition of aromas natural

Excellent food, presentation and attitude. Loved the dishes, authentic Italian dishes.

Chef Antonio did an absolutely incredible job as our private chef for the week. He was responsive before and during the event, all of his dishes were delicious, he took into account various allergies and food sensitivities and he was a delight to have in the house. I cannot recommend him highly enough

It was an excellent, delicious, and professional meal. Everything was clean and perfectly organized to a high standard. The chef was charming and pleasant—thank you so much, highly recommended!

Chef Antonio was absolutely amazing. He came to cook for a group (13-19 people) for 3 dinners each with 4 courses. Choosing the dishes was super easy thanks to the sample menus. We were a group of swiss foodies & love to visit italy for the cuisine - so the bar was set very hugh. He cooked all of the dishes to perfection. All of my guests were super happy! I was absolutely amazed at how little pre-info or other help Antonio needed to find everything in the kitchen. If you want great service and amazing food, I can highly recommend Chef Antonio.

Antonio Di Padova was an absolute delight. We used him for dinners for 6 days straight to cook for 14 people. His food was absolutely amazing. We had a mixed generation group and everyone commented on how great Antonio's food was. He was very communicative via WhatApp about menu options and times to start preparing food. He was 5 stars!

Antonio was friendly, interesting, professional and talented. We had a great evening and would book him again next time we find ourselves in Tuscany. (The dessert- apple puff pastry with cinnamon custard- was heavenly! )

We had an amazing time! Everything that we asked for was done. So accommodating. 10/10

Chef Antonio was friendly, easy to work with and, most importantly, prepared a delicious meal that made everyone happy! We will remember this meal for years to come! I hope we have the opportunity to have Chef Antonio cook a beautiful meal for our family again in the future!

Chef Antonio is an amazing chef. He created a delicious meal from fresh ingredients, with a thoughtfully curated menu. He took the time to explain each dish and was extremely professional throughout. We look forward to the next opportunity to have Chef Antonio cook a meal for us!

Chef Antonio was really great. The highlight was the dessert, it was beautiful and tasted amazing! He was very friendly and served 11 people by himself with ease.

We were in Italy for two weeks and Chef Antonio's meal was the best by far. It was of Michelin star quality. He was extremely professional and made a special birthday cake for my sister which was fantastic. Antonio not only provided a truly memorable culinary experience, but also provided outstanding service. You will not be disappointed.

Chef Antonio was absolutely incredible. We had a wedding with 15 guests at a villa, he made the meal as well as our wedding cake. He was very responsive to all of our questions ahead of time and even took into consideration dietary needs. The food was absolutely amazing, everyone agreed that it was the best food that they had their entire trip in Italy. The wedding cake he made was very special as well. He even had strawberries, flowers, and sugar for us to put on the cake as part of the ceremony as a surprise for us. Many of our guests said it was the best cake they ever had as well. My wife and I are extremely grateful that we could share in our day with Chef Antonio and I would recommend everyone to book him.

Chef Antonio was amazing. We chose the main course and dessert and let him choose our starters and first course. He chose great dishes to compliment what we chose. I would highly recommend Chef Antonio for any occasion.

Great! Antonio made a lasting impression!

Chef Antonio was everything we could have asked for! He made our first night in Florence a treasure. He willingly adjusted the menu for dietary needs. He added wines upon request even yielding to my palate! He was early, he was kind and thoughtful. His mother was his sous chef which we loved, she was adorable! His knowledge of food combinations was exquisite! 1) caviare with cod on a local pizza dough! 2) pears with peppers risotto delicious! 3) t-bone he cooked to each one’s preference amazing 4) his vanilla panna cotta with raspberry sauce melted in your mouth! 5) his knowledge of wines and how much when to pour we felt truly cared for and pampered! We would love & excited to have him again and recommend Chef for large or intimate events

We had the pleasure of hiring Chef Antonio as our private chef at home in Tuscany, and we couldn't have been more delighted! Antonio was incredibly kind and professional, making the entire experience truly special. Every dish he prepared was absolutely delicious, showcasing the finest flavors of the region. We highly recommend Antonio for an unforgettable culinary experience!

Un'esperienza sorprendentemente piacevole. E’ stata la prima volte cha abbiamo usato questo tipo di servizio in quanto non potevamo muoverci liberamente con una bambina piccola. Eravamo un po’ scettici all’inizio, ma devo dire che Chef Antonio ci ha fatto ricredere fin da subito. Per ben tre volte ci ha preparato una cena deliziosa, facendoci sentire come se fossimo in un vero ristorante

The food selection, quality, and quantity was incredible. Antonio Di Padova is a fantastic chef and prepared every item we requested. When we return to the area, we will definitely hire Antonio again.

Antonio was excellent. Helped design the menu, was very professional and above all the food was delicious. We particularly loved the porchetta :) Thank you!!

Antonio was amazing. We had him come to Cortona for a private dinner at our villa. He did n excellent job communicating with us in advance. We had four courses and he even made a birthday cake! His food was amazing and he was very nice. I would contact Antonio again!
