Reviews of our chefs and caterers around Locarno

Chef Paolo Ianzano
🇨🇭 Coldrerio
Reviewed by Sonia · 2025-09-16

Chef Paolo was responsive from day 1 of me indicating my interest. It was not an easy dinner to prepare as we had within 6 of us, 2 young children, 1 senior and 3 adults. The experience was amazing, we were all full, happy and very satisfied. His excellent cooking left even my young picky eaters so full and if they had an extra stomach, would have managed to finish everything. He interacted with all of us with ease & was an absolute delight to have at home. I highly recommend Chef Paolo and would like to extend again my sincerest thanks for making my husband’s 50th birthday a memorable one.

Chef Davide Lazzeri
🇨🇭 Weggis
Reviewed by Jordan · 2025-10-12



We had the most amazing experience with Chef Davide! He came to our home and prepared a beautiful four-course dinner that completely exceeded our expectations. Every dish was delicious, beautifully plated, and perfectly timed. He was professional yet so friendly and made the evening feel special and relaxed. It was such a treat to enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of our own home. Highly recommend for anyone looking to make an occasion truly memorable!

Chef Nicolas Deschamps
🇨🇭 Sigriswil
Reviewed by Allie Belletti · 2025-07-22



The food and wine pairings were excellent. The first-course appetizers were delicious, and the pistachio gnocchi was a perfect 10/10. The tomahawk steak was meant to be cooked to medium but was slightly rare in the center. Otherwise, everything else was fantastic. Nico was incredibly professional and kind, and we truly appreciated both his attentiveness and the amazing food he prepared. We would be happy to book again in the future.

Chef Simone Sorace
🇮🇹 Lezzeno
Reviewed by Aaron · 2025-09-08
We had the absolute pleasure of booking Chef Simone Sorace to cook for us during our stay in Lake Como, and the experience was nothing short of exceptional. From start to finish, Chef Simone was professional, attentive, and an absolute joy to work with. The communication and coordination were seamless, and the service was impeccable. Every dish he prepared was beautifully presented and bursting with authentic Italian flavor — truly some of the best meals we’ve ever had. It felt like dining in a five-star restaurant from the comfort of our villa. Chef Simone’s passion for his craft shines through in every bite. We can’t recommend him highly enough and would book him again in a heartbeat!

Chef Paolo Ianzano
🇮🇹 Sala Comacina
Reviewed by Matthew · 2025-09-15
Chef Paolo was extraordinarily professional from our first interaction via text to the dinner service. He was extremely responsive, organized, and created an individualized menu that really knocked it out of the park. We had several changes after the menu was finalized, including adding a wine pairing, and he was gracious and accommodating. On the day of service, he arrived promptly, and had a very charming and engaging personality. His food was magnificent, and the attire evening was magical. If you are looking for a private chef in the greater Milan area, I would highly recommend Chef Palo. He is passionate, talented, driven, skilled, and very personable. Thank you, Chef!

Chef Davide Lazzeri
🇮🇹 Menaggio
Reviewed by Joseph · 2025-09-04
Everything was tasty and professionally conducted. We asked for a pastry to end the meal with. The chef just bought pastries from a local store. This was a low point. The amount of cooking actually done was extremely low for the price point.

Chef Catalina Brennan
🇪🇸 Spain
Reviewed by Cindy Schelstraete · 2030-05-08

Catalina provided us with a delicious meal in our holiday home in southern Spain. Just feet under the table and enjoy :) The kitchen was also left nice and clean. Definitely highly recommended!

Ho regalato l'esperienza ai miei genitori. Mirko super simpatico e disponibile. Sono rimasti molto soddisfatti della cena e della compagnia

Chef Giannis Pateikas
🇬🇷 Greece
Reviewed by Shauna Michaelis · 2025-11-27
Everything about our dinner with Chef Giannis was wonderful from the start! It was easy to communicate and book through the app, and Giannis was very helpful with the menu planing. The dinner itself was absolutely amazing, delicious, and beautifully prepared. I would not hesitate to book with Giannis again!

Chef Miel Goebel
🇳🇱 The Netherlands
Reviewed by George Kao · 2025-11-28
Chef Miel Goebel was exceptional from start to finish! From the moment Chef Miel arrived, the entire evening felt elevated, relaxed, and truly special. He brought not only incredible culinary talent, but also a warm, calm presence that made my family feel completely taken care of. Every course was beautifully executed — refined, flavorful, and presented with such attention to detail. You can feel the passion he puts into his craft. The atmosphere he created in the kitchen and dining room was just as memorable as the food itself. My family was amazed by how smooth and effortless the whole experience felt. He handled everything — prep, service, and cleanup — with absolute professionalism. He also was able to adapt very quickly to unexpected last minute changes we had! As someone who values quality and hospitality, I can confidently say this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve ever had in a private setting. I would highly recommend Chef Miel to anyone looking to create an unforgettable dinner or special occasion. We are genuinely grateful for the evening he gave us, and we look forward to booking him again in the future. Thank you, Miel, for making our Thanksgiving one we’ll never forget.

Chef Valeria & Gabriel
🇮🇹 Milan
Reviewed by Jacqueline Daniele Humm · 2025-10-02
I don’t think I have ever given any review where I have had to give 5 stars for everything. We could not have asked for a better evening. From their personalities, service, professionalism and of course food. We had exquisite appetisers before our meal followed by a truly lovely three course meal. Thé presentation and attention to detail was no less than requisite ans were their menu choices. Our guests loved everything and ended with a spontaneous round of applause from everyone. I can’t recommend Valeria and Gaby enough.

Chef Mirko Ronzoni
