My name is Maurizio, and I am a personal and private chef. I'm an experienced chef, Italian and French, classically trained. I also love cooking ethnic food, particularly Indian, Middle Eastern, and North African cuisines.

I owned an award-winning Italian restaurant in Edinburgh from 1988 to 1995 called Ristorante Pellicano and earned a Celtic Cross on Scotland's Best Food Guide, two years in a row (93 and 94 best Italian in Edinburgh)

I have spent my entire life in the catering industry, and I'm also very passionate about wine. Combining food and wine is another service I can provide.

In my career, I cooked for many Scottish celebrities, including The Proclaimers and Simple Minds.

I also collaborated with Chef Gary McLain, winner of Master Chef Professional 2016.

I am very passionate about food and wine, and I only work with the highest-quality ingredients I can find. Whenever possible, I use organic products and locally sourced ingredients. My mission is to make everyone smile as they enjoy my cooking and go the extra mile to achieve it.

I'm looking forward to providing you with great meals and memorable experiences!!
