Private chefs in Desenzano del Garda

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.

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

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

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!

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 Nicolas Di Giovanni was a joy to work with and his assistant Andrea. Very prompt in communicating, attentive and professional. We all enjoyed his variety of foods and the presentation as well. Thoughtfully prepared and delicious! The kitchen was left in immaculate condition. FIVE STARS ALL AROUND. MANY THANKS :)

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!

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 prepared an incredible meal for my family. He was friendly and professional! Highly recommend booking him for your next dining experience!

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.

the experience with chefs Valeria and Gabriel was fantastic. they understood my request perfectly and made lunch very pleasant. all the guests were delighted, highly recommended!

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.
