Private chefs in Lecce

Giuseppe is a nice guy, responsive and accommodating. His family came to help him in the kitchen and serving the table. They created an incredibly warm atmosphere at the dinner. Food was good and appropriately portioned.

Chef Maurizio and his super professional waiter were a true power duo! They made our evening and my 40 year-old-birthday so easy and unforgettable. Service worked like a Swiss clock and the food was just perfect. Fresh, local, tasteful and there was plenty of it. We also had the pentolo rented via Maurizio which added a nice show element to the whole experience. I would definitely recommend Chef Maurizio and his waiter if you're planning any kind of event!

Maurizio was absolutely amazing! His food was phenomenal and he did all the work (prep, cleaning, cooking). He made our last night in Ceglie Messapica so memorable. You need to reserve Maurizio now before his schedule becomes too full, you won't regret it! We lived Maurizio!

Abbiamo avuto il piacere di avere Giuseppe come nostro chef per l’addio al nubilato di una nostra cara amica, eravamo 9 ragazze. Giuseppe è stato incredibilmente professionale, attento, il menù e i piatti erano equilibrati e gustosissimi. Giuseppe ha anche avuto l’accortezza e la gentilezza di stampare il menù, in modo che potessimo conservarlo come ricordo di questa giornata speciale. Abbiamo optato per il menù “il mare in bocca” a base di pesce, che comprendeva favolosi crudi di pesce, incredibile tataky di tonno, gamberi croccanti su crema di fave, calamarata con aragosta, turbante di branzino al forno e un tortino al cioccolato. Il menù era meraviglioso, vario, abbondante e buonissimo e Giuseppe è stato impeccabile, gentilissimo e dalla assoluta e indiscussa professionalità.

Chef Alessio provided us with the highest level of professionalism and culinary excellence. We had a group of seven guests, some quite particular about food yet every single person was impressed and satisfied. I requested a range of delicious finger foods. For the main course, Chef Alessio prepared an outstanding Cacio e Pepe Pasta with Lime Zest, which was perfectly balanced and beautifully presented. Both Alessio and his colleague were exceptionally professional, friendly, and discreet. They made us feel completely comfortable having them in our home and contributed to a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere throughout the evening. I would highly recommend Chef Alessio to anyone seeking an elevated dining experience with impeccable service and genuine warmth.

The food was great and well suited to ur needs, the chef was nice and fun, the plating was beautiful, 5 stats, perfect experience!

Chef Adolfo was amazing to work with. I had a very specific request to feed a group of 35 people with a variety of dietary restrictions as part of a yacht party I was planning. There was very strict timing and delivery needs and he knocked it out of the park. He helped bring everything on the boat. Very clear instructions on all of the food. Amazing communication through the planning process to make sure my guest would be happy. Highly recommend!

Chef Enrico and his helpers were amazing. The food was beyond anything we expected. His presentation and personality added to the whole experience. He didn’t just cook for us but gave us a story and an explanation for everything he made.

My family and I rented an old farmhouse in Sicily and had Chef Enrico come prepare a typical Sicilian meal. The home had a stove and small table top oven and when using too many things at once, we kept blowing fuses. Not being aware of this until he arrived, Chef Enrico somehow made it work. The food was amazing and he made the evening a lot of fun sharing stories of his childhood and the food that he prepared. It was an evening we will talk about for a long time. I would 100% recommend hiring him for an event. I would also like to add that the chefmaison app was very easy to use.

We had a fantastic evening with Chef Adolfo Sellitto. We easily communicated with Chef Adolfo to create the unique experience our family of seven was looking for. We were interested in preparing/working with him to build some of the dishes he had planned for the evening. He pulled all of us in to prepare stuffed squash blossoms and ravioli. He showed us all the techniques and then let everyone, that wanted, have a hand in creating the items. We had so much fun working with Chef. Everything on the menu he had created for us was delicious. He asked us if we would like him to purchase, for us, some local wine that would pair with the meal he was preparing and we said yes of course. It was nice to have him offer this option so we didn't need to go out and shop for what we might think would work well with his menu. Chef is super friendly, very professional, has a great sense of humor and if you are interested as we were very knowledgeable at helping you understand and learning to create regional dishes of the Amalfi Coast.

Chef Adolfo created a wonderful meal to help us celebrate a milestone birthday that really helped to make the occasion a special event to remember. He created 4 delicious course that were enjoyed by the group of 10 of us. The risotto and pork were outstanding! Chef Adolfo and his assistant at were very friendly and efficient while being professional. It was very easy to communicate with him through the app to set up our menu, including accommodating some food allergies, and process payment. We were even able to arrange a selection of wines that complimented the meal well. It really was a night to remember and recommend his service and food highly.

Great standard of food & excellent flexibility to work round an issue with the cooker in the villa. Thank you so much!
