Reviews of our chefs and caterers around Padua

Chef Gianluca Deidda
🇮🇹 Venice
Reviewed by Joyce Adebiyi · 2026-04-19
Chef Luca was absolutely incredible. From the food to the customer service to his problem solving he went above and beyond. He made the most amazing spread of brunch items, everything was so fresh and decorated beautifully

Chef Luca Tonoli
🇮🇹 Malcesine
Reviewed by Lee Cottle · 2026-05-16
Last night Luca created one of the finest dining experiences we’ve ever had. From start to finish, every dish was beautifully prepared, perfectly balanced, and absolutely packed with flavour. The evening began with a wonderful selection of local cured meats, homemade pickled vegetables and bread gnocchi wrapped in greens — rustic, elegant and full of character. The homemade casoncelli pasta with butter, sage and pancetta was exceptional. Quite honestly, some of the best pasta we’ve ever tasted. For the main course, the slow-braised beef cheek in red wine simply melted in the mouth, paired perfectly with creamy potato purée and seasonal vegetables. The lavarello was equally outstanding — delicate, fresh and beautifully cooked with herbs and lemon. And then came the tiramisù — based on Luca’s grandmother’s original recipe, which he has refined into his own signature dish. It was absolutely sensational and the perfect ending to an unforgettable meal. Beyond the food itself, Luca brought warmth, professionalism and genuine passion to the evening. It felt like having a Michelin-level private dining experience in our villa. If you ever get the opportunity to have Luca cook for you — take it. Highly, highly recommended.

Esperienza fantastica! Lo chef è stato davvero simpatico, professionale e molto curato in ogni dettaglio — dalla preparazione dei piatti alla presentazione in tavola. Ha creato un’atmosfera rilassata e piacevole, come in un ristorante ma nel comfort di casa nostra. Cibo delizioso e servizio impeccabile. Consigliatissimo!

Chef Simone Sorace
🇮🇹 Livigno
Reviewed by Mark Piedra · 2026-02-06
Our group of six had the absolute pleasure of hiring Chef Simone to cook for us in our Livigno chalet, and it was a true highlight of our trip! From start to finish, the experience was a five-star masterclass in hospitality. Chef Simone’s innovative flavor combinations were incredible, but his ability to create delicious vegetarian options was truly next-level—honestly the best we have ever tasted. We were also deeply impressed by how effortlessly he handled multiple dietary restrictions within our group; every guest felt equally prioritized and pampered. The service was seamless—Chef Simone and his assistant had such a pleasant and professional demeanor, making the evening feel both high-end and relaxed. To top it all off, the plating was absolutely beautiful, bringing a fine-dining aesthetic right to our chalet table. If you’re looking for a private chef who brings skill, heart, and stunning presentation to your home, we cannot recommend Chef Simone enough!

Chef Enrico Menna
🇮🇹 San Gimignano
Reviewed by Lisa Douglass · 2026-05-27
Chef Enrico is an amazing chef! He prepared a wonderful meal for us while we celebrated my in-laws’ 50th wedding anniversary, and he made the occasion even more special with a beautiful and delicious dessert. His attention to detail, professionalism, and culinary talent truly impressed us. As an added bonus, he left the kitchen cleaner than it was before he arrived. I highly recommend booking Chef Enrico—you won’t regret it!

Matteo was one of the highlights of our trip to Italy. From start to finish, the experience was exceptional. The food was absolutely incredible—every course was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and showcased the best of Italian cuisine. What impressed us even more was Matteo's efficiency and professionalism. We could hardly believe everything he accomplished entirely on his own. As a true one-man show, he flawlessly planned, prepared, served, and cleaned up while making it all look effortless. Beyond his culinary talent, Matteo provided warm, attentive service that made the evening feel special and personal. He transformed a wonderful night in our villa into an unforgettable experience. If you're considering hiring a private chef in Italy, don't hesitate to book Matteo. The food was outstanding, the service was unmatched, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations.

Chef Matteo Francesco Pantoliano
🇮🇹 Cinque Terre

Chef Matteo è stato la scelta perfetta, un cuoco spettacolare e disponibile davanti a tutte le nostre richieste e soprattutto una persona di cuore.

Chef Andrea Danelli
🇮🇹 Bellano
Reviewed by Raj · 2026-06-02


Chef Andrea was absolutely phenomenal! I cannot recommend him more strongly for an unforgettable at-home culinary experience. My family (of 8) traveled to Lake Como and Chef Andrea arranged for an outstanding sourdough pizza making experience at our Airbnb. His pizza making set up was so aesthetic, his homemade dough was delicious, and the individual pizzas he crafted were so creative and in line with my family's preferences. Chef Andrea engaged us at every step of the way: from the custom menu he prepared to letting us try our hand at making the pizzas live. He really transformed the meal into an experience we all will remember for the rest of our lives. His wife Martina was there to assist him and she was also so lovely. They make an incredible duo - so personable and warm - and will assuredly put on a top-class event if you book them. Again, I cannot emphasize enough what a memorable meal Chef Andrea prepared for us. Plus, the 15 pizzas lasted us not 1 but 2-3 full meals, and that too at an incredibly reasonable price compared to other options on Chef Maison.

We can highly recommend Chef Simone! We were a group of 5 families from Denmark with 5 babies and 3 kids, and Chef Simone made the most wonderful 3 course dinner with adjustments for the babies and kids, and for the lactose intolerant person. Easy to communicate, pleasant to be around, and all in all a very succesful and nice experience with this chef.
