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 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 Paolo Ianzano
🇨🇭 Switzerland
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.

Esperienza fantastica! Lo chef è stato davvero simpatico, professionale e molto curato in ogni dettaglio — dalla preparazione dei piatti alla presentazione in tavola.

Chef Alice Scaffardi

Chef Alice created a wonderful traditional Italian meal (with a few modern twists) for my mother's 80th birthday. Beautiful, delicious food, served during the evening, making the family celebration in our rented villa, with an unafmiliar kitchen perfect. Alice made the whole experience stress free, and it was easy for me to plan the meal from abroad. I can whole heartedly recommend her. :-) Tania

Michele was super professional, friendly, on time and the food was amazing!! I would want to have Michele again if I organize another celebration in Tuscany! Thank you soooo much Michele for the great dinner 💞

Chef Enrico Menna
🇮🇹 Capannori
Reviewed by Louisa · 2025-09-10





We had a wonderful cookery course with Enrico Menna. He was super nice and funny, taught us very tasty recipes and brought us even closer to Tuscan / Italian cuisine. We would book a cookery course with him again at any time and highly recommend him as a cook / cookery teacher! He was also very straightforward and quick when we discussed the menu in advance and had a great idea for all our requests. What's more, we were all full and even had food left over. A cookery course with him is a really great (group) activity.

Chef Marco Lagrimino

Chef Enrico Menna
🇮🇹 Figline e Incisa Valdarno
Reviewed by Christine Behringer · 2025-09-04







Chef Enrico was FANTASTIC! We booked a chef for the first night of a family vacation. We had a variety of tastes, a few diet restrictions and a very short window to plan everything in. Chef Enrico proposed a lovely menu taking everything into consideration. He talked with me through the whole process, answering all of my questions. And when the night came for dinner? PHENOMENAL!! The food was incredible and almost everything was hand made by Chef Enrico- regular and gluten free bread, several varieties... Hand made pasta, also with gluten free pasta... Homemade gelato... Even the honey was from his own bees! If you are considering Chef Enrico-do it! He gave us an absolutely magical evening with delicious food, fun conversations and memories to treasure. Thank you, Chef Enrico!

Chef Nicolas Di Giovanni
🇮🇹 Sanremo
Reviewed by Bethany Brady · 2025-10-11
Chef Nicolas was great! We had a six course meal for my partners 50th birthday and it was lovely. He showed up on time, ready to go. His assistant was organized and made our table beautifully. Gnocchi and arancini were our favorite dishes. He was very flexible as well when last minute we wanted to add a little eggplant parm and he was able to do so. Just a wonderful experience.
