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.

Chef Gérard Dehaye
🇨🇭 Laax
Reviewed by cynthia jahavee las · 2025-12-13

Unfortunately he had an accident on the way to the dinner , I think he also had no internet in Switzerland , so we did not have his location in real time , and we had a very hard time for 3 and a half hours waiting , not knowing if he would come or not . Anyway he call all the time to explain about the problem . The food was spectacular! In quality , in quantity , the presentation , everything amazing , my guests were very happy despite the delay . I was financially compensated for the delay in addition. Maybe it was just bad luck and he had the worst day of his life ... I would gladly hire him again!

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 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.

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!

Chef Mirko Ronzoni
🇮🇹 Besozzo
Reviewed by Charmaine · 2025-12-13




This weekend I had the pleasure of hiring Mirko for my birthday party at home, and I can’t speak highly enough about the experience! From the moment he arrived, his warm demeanor set a welcoming tone for the evening. He took the time to interact with my guests, sharing stories about the dishes and engaging everyone in delightful conversations, which truly added to the celebratory atmosphere. The good was simply incredible! Every dish was a work of art, not only beautifully presented but bursting with flavor. Mirko tailored the menu to accommodate my preferences and dietary restrictions (vegetarian and lactose free for one guest) demonstrating exceptional skill and creativity with each course. The appetizers were mouthwatering, and the main course was nothing short of divine. As Mirko prepared the food right in my kitchen, it felt like a personalized culinary show. His passion for food was evident, and it made the whole experience feel special and intimate. Everyone raved about the meal long after the meal was over. If you're considering a private chef for an event, I wholeheartedly recommend Mirko. His culinary talents combined with his engaging personality created an unforgettable evening. Thank you, Mirko, for making my birthday so memorable!

Chef Miel Goebel

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.
