Chef Gabriele Mossa

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Ein unvergesslicher Abend – Gabriele hat all unsere Erwartungen übertroffen! Wo soll man bei so einer außergewöhnlichen Erfahrung überhaupt anfangen? Wir haben Gabriele während unseres Familienurlaubs in der Toskana über Take a Chef gebucht. Es war das erste Mal, dass wir einen Privatkoch engagiert haben, und wir wussten ehrlich gesagt nicht so richtig, was uns erwarten würde. Was wir dann erleben durften, hat uns alle sprachlos gemacht! Gabriele hat uns nicht einfach ein hervorragendes Abendessen gekocht. Er hat uns einen rundum perfekten, unvergesslichen Abend geschenkt. Schon etwa zwei Stunden vor dem eigentlichen Beginn war er da, um alles vorzubereiten. Er brachte nicht nur sämtliche Zutaten mit, sondern auch sein eigenes Geschirr, Gläser und sogar wunderschöne Tischdekoration. Wir mussten uns tatsächlich um absolut nichts kümmern! Während Gabriele in der Küche alles vorbereitete, konnten wir ganz entspannt Zeit mit unseren Kindern verbringen. Irgendwann rief er uns zu Tisch – und was uns dort erwartete, war einfach unglaublich. Jeder einzelne Gang war ein Erlebnis. Die Qualität der Zutaten, die Zubereitung, die Präsentation und vor allem der Geschmack waren außergewöhnlich. Gabriele überraschte uns sogar mit zusätzlichen Gerichten, die ursprünglich gar nicht auf unserem Menü standen. Es war so reichlich, dass wir am Ende alle mehr als satt und rundum glücklich waren. Was diesen Abend aber besonders gemacht hat, war Gabriele selbst. Ein unglaublich herzlicher, sympathischer und aufmerksamer Mensch, der mit so viel Leidenschaft bei der Sache ist. Zu jedem Gericht erzählte er uns etwas, erklärte die Zutaten und vermittelte uns ein echtes Stück toskanischer Esskultur. Man spürt sofort, dass er seinen Beruf liebt. Besonders an alle, die – genau wie wir – zum ersten Mal darüber nachdenken, einen Privatkoch über Take a Chef zu buchen: Macht es! Und wenn ihr die Möglichkeit habt, Gabriele zu buchen, dann zögert keine Sekunde. Vielleicht fragt man sich vorher, wie so ein Abend abläuft, ob man selbst etwas vorbereiten muss oder ob sich die Investition wirklich lohnt. Ich kann euch aus eigener Erfahrung sagen: Bei Gabriele braucht ihr euch über nichts Gedanken zu machen. Ihr könnt euch vollkommen entspannen, eure Zeit mit Familie oder Freunden genießen und euch einfach überraschen lassen. Gerade im Urlaub, zu einem Geburtstag oder einem anderen besonderen Anlass ist das eine unglaublich schöne Erfahrung. Es ist so viel mehr als ein Restaurantbesuch, weil man dieses Erlebnis ganz privat in einer vertrauten Atmosphäre genießen kann. Wir haben schon viele gute Restaurants besucht und hervorragend gegessen. Aber dieser Abend wird uns noch sehr lange in Erinnerung bleiben. Lieber Gabriele, vielen, vielen Dank für deine Herzlichkeit, deine Großzügigkeit, deine Leidenschaft und dieses außergewöhnliche Erlebnis. Du hast unseren Familienurlaub um eine ganz besondere Erinnerung bereichert. Von uns gibt es eine uneingeschränkte Empfehlung. Wir würden dich jederzeit wieder buchen! Grazie mille, Gabriele! ❤️

Our experience with Chef Gabrielle was unbelievable. He absolutely blew away our expectations. He showed up with not only the food, but plates, table settings, glassware, herbal arrangements. . Everything to make an absolutely stunning experience. The food was incredible- our favorite meal we had in Italy by a landslide. What’s more is that we have 2 gluten-free folks in our party, and he was able to make the entire meal gluten-free which made their experience even better (and the rest of us would have never known it was GF- it was awesome!!). While we dined and conversed, he impeccably cleaned and packed up the leftovers for us quietly in the background. When we stood up from the meal, we were stunned to see our sparkling clean kitchen and neatly prepared leftovers. He was kind and sweet and absolutely accommodating. This was a 5 Star experience that we’d recommend strongly to anyone considering the experience.

Far exceeded expectations! Gabriele surprised us with extra dishes, beautiful presentations and a gorgeous table. Every bite was wonderful and highly recommend him. We are already looking forward to enjoying the leftovers!!

We love Italians, some can come across as rude to Americans. Gabrielle was very kind and just happy to be cooking for us. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Chef Gabrielle was FANTASTIC! The food was delicious. It was a feast for the eyes and pallet. A meal we will never forget. We started our vacation with an epic experience. Chef Gabrielle will be hard to top.

I can’t say enough about Chef Gabriele- our experience with him was truly the highlight of our trip to Italy. We started with a hands-on pasta making class and followed it up with a seated dinner where we ate the pasta we made, along with several other courses. Every single dish was unbelievable. On top of what was planned, he brought out seemingly endless surprise dishes, whipping up incredible pastas, fresh bread, and dessert out of nowhere. He introduced us to new flavor pairings and recipes that we will definitely be adding to our regular rotation back home. Beyond the food, his attention to detail was top-notch. He brought his own table settings and created a stunning setup, right down to a fresh plant centerpiece. When dinner was over, he cleared the entire table and cleaned every single dish himself, leaving the kitchen cleaner than he found it. He was exceptionally kind, personable, and great to talk to throughout the evening. If you are looking for an unforgettable culinary experience in Italy, hire him without hesitation.

Gabriele, sei grande!!! ci hai regalato una bellissima serata.

Chef Gabriele exceeded all of our expectations. We hired him for 3 days to cater brunches and dinners for our wedding for 25 people. He was very kind and acccomodating - as non italians we felt like we could communicate great. The food presentations were beautiful, and the meals were delicious - he was incredibly generous and our leftovers were enough to last us for days afterwards. We couldn’t have been happier!

I was with my family (12 of us) in Italy to celebrate both of my in-laws turning 80 this year. We rented a Villa in Tuscany. The building was beautiful but did not have the most modern appliances. Our chef was Gabriele Mossa. Despite this Gabriele created an exquisite, delicious meal. Everyone one enjoyed it immensely and I heard several people say it was the best meal they have ever had. Gabriele was informative, engaging, and funny. I would highly recommend.

Gabrielle did an amazing job. We hired him for a private birthday dinner for 12 during a group trip to the Chianti region. I had the special request of having 4 small tiramisus as several members of the group had birthdays that week. He was happy to accommodate and helped keep it a surprise until we were ready to sing. He was punctual, communicative, friendly, and the food was incredible. Many of us rank it in the top best meals of our lives. We’ve all been to well acclaimed restaurants but this was the first private chef experience. After this meal, it won’t be the last time we hire a private chef. I just hope that can live up to the bar he’s set. Highly recommend and if we’re in the area again we will be checking his availability.

Our experience with Gabriele was incredible. Starting with planning, menu suggestions, and finally meeting in person. All of his menu options were incredible and he was open to customizing depending on our needs. Meeting him and seeing his work was amazing, you can see true expertise and passion in his way of cooking and not only that, but presenting the delicious food and telling wonderful stories about his ingredients. His service was delightful and full of warm surprises. Despite not having an oven in our kitchen he easily managed to improvise using an outdoor pizza oven that was in the garden. We cannot recommend him enough!

If we could give 10 stars, we would. Gabriele was AMAZING! We had a party of 12- we hired him for dinner one night and a cooking class another night. Both meals (and our learning experience) were spectacular! Gabriele was communicative, timely, prepared, provided more than we asked for and cleaned up everything as well. His primary focus was for us to relax and enjoy the meal- and we sure did! From the first bite to the last, it just kept getting better. We were stuffed but just could t say no when the dishes kept coming. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Gabrielle war unglaublich freundlich, das Essen war perfekt, der Tisch war wunderschön gedeckt, es war ein wunderbares Geburtstagsessen, besser geht es nicht!

We cannot speak highly enough of Chef Gabrielle! He was communicative, helpful, and friendly. The meal was beyond words and he went above and beyond by preparing extra appetizers that he felt complimented the hot weather. He went above and beyond with extra touches, such as setting a beautiful table and providing fantastic service. You will not be disappointed!

Gabriele was truly the highlight of our entire two-week vacation in Italy. From the very beginning, his communication was excellent. Before our dinner at our villa in Tuscany, I mentioned that we would have our six-year-old daughter with us, who can be a picky eater. Gabriele went above and beyond to make sure she had a meal she would enjoy, which immediately put us at ease. The entire experience was exceptional. The table setting was absolutely stunning, the décor was beautiful, and every dish he prepared was outstanding. Each course was thoughtfully crafted, beautifully presented, and absolutely delicious. Beyond his incredible talent as a chef, Gabriele was warm, professional, and attentive throughout the evening. He took care of every detail and left the kitchen spotless when he was finished. I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Gabriele. He exceeded every expectation we had and created an unforgettable evening for our family. If you're considering hiring a private chef in Tuscany, I recommend Gabriel without hesitation. It was one of the most memorable experiences of our trip and a night we will never forget.

Chef Gabriele Mossa was amazing! My entire family agreed it was the best meal of our entire trip to Italy. Everything from the starters to the dessert was fresh and SO delicious! Chef showed up on time, brought in all of his own supplies, cooked an absolutely amazing meal, and completely cleaned it all up - all perfectly. I highly recommend Chef Gabriele and I'll be using him when I go back to Italy. Way better than any restaurant. Thank you, Chef!

Chef Mossa exceeded all our expectations. We had a small wedding ceremony in Tuscany so we booked Gabriele to cook for us and our guests and we were blown away. From the emails to meeting us the day before the wedding he was excellent at communicating and executing exactly what we imagined and more. On the wedding day the food was phenomenal - tasted perfect, presented immaculately. We really couldn’t have asked for more. If you’re thinking of booking a chef please book Chef Mossa, you won’t be disappointed!

Gabrile Mossa is a dream chef. Having him cook for our family of 11 was one of the highlights of our entire vacation for every single person. Most importantly, his food is the best we ate in Italy. It's better than any restaurant we visited while there. He graciously had gluten-free options for our daughter and he prepared the best fish I've ever eaten for me since I can't eat meat. The food is abundant, gorgeously displayed, and some of the best food we've ever eaten. He arrives with everything (plates, glassware, centerpieces) and he left the house spotless (cleaner than he found it) and with all the leftover in the refrigerator for us. He displayed the food beautifully and in a different way for each meal. Mostly, he's a lovely person and has such a passion for what he does. We trusted him completely to be in the villa preparing the food while we were out sightseeing. I looked at several chefs before choosing Gabriele and I'm so happy I choose him. We already miss his food!

We had the best experience with chef Gabriele. I communicated with him several times beforehand and he was responsive and super helpful with proving wine pairings. Day of he was right on time and had a huge curveball. Our Airbnb didn’t have an oven and he was able to amend portions of our menu on the fly. Decor was beautiful, food was amazing, and overall was just a fantastic experience. I would 100% recommend the experience!

Incredible experience.
