How Much Does a Private Chef Near You in Lucca Cost?
ChefMaison allows you to discuss directly with chefs around Lucca and receive personalized quotes based on your unique preferences and budget, so every event is customized to your exact needs. Since every ChefMaison event is unique - there's no fixed pricing. However, we offer indication prices ranging from €59 to €194 per person for weekend bookings for 4 courses, depending on the menu and services selected.
What’s included in our indication prices:
- Groceries and menu ingredients - you don't need to do any shopping or preparation
- Chef preparation time and service during your event (cooking, plating, serving, and cleanup)
To make their event even more memorable, many of our clients choose extra options such as:
- Extra courses, such as cheese platters, luxury amuses, wine pairings, and cocktails
- Premium ingredients like wagyu, oysters, caviar, or Kobe beef
- Children menus or special dietary requests
- Servers for larger groups (usually for 10+ guests)
- Equipment rentals (tables, heaters, fancy tableware, fireworks 🎇 etc.)
Tips for reducing the costs on your private chef experience
- Booking during the week is an excellent way to save money, as many chefs offer weekday discounts for events.
- The price per person decreases as the number of guests increases, making it more affordable for larger groups.
- Book early: Booking your private chef well in advance gives you more time to discuss your preferences and budget, allowing you to secure the best chef at the best price. This also avoids premium prices during high-demand seasons and holidays or weekends.
You have the flexibility to work directly with your chef to create a completely personalized experience, whether you're planning a casual dinner with friends or a lavish celebration. Whatever your vision, ChefMaison ensures your event will be exactly as you imagine it because you have direct contact with your personal chef.

Reviews of our chefs and caterers around Lucca
Sara
We loved having Chef Nicolas cook for us. He was amazing and the food was exceptional. We highly recommend him! He was charming and his food was authentic Italian and made our evening feel so special!!
Rose
We had the most incredible dinner cooked by Chef Nicolas . He was highly professional, communicative, and tidy. Most importantly the food was delicious and thoughtfully prepared. I would highly recommend his services to anyone wishing to arrange a private dinner for a special occasion.
Allison
Chef Alice gave us a truly astonishing and delicious experience. Her menu was the perfect fusion of old italian with a modern spin. She served several courses from a mini-appetizer through dessert. The serving sizes were perfect so that we had plenty of amazing food but did not end up overfull as so often can happen. She was personable, efficient, deeply talented and a genuine pleasure. She communicated promptly, always answering my emails and texts quickly and thoroughly. Crafted such an interesting and special menu that I didn't change one thing on her initial draft. She treated our home with care and left our kitchen spotless. We will only be in Rome for another month or so but we will absolutely hire her again and give her the highest recommendation. You won't be disappointed - she is magnificent (no exaggeration)!
Alessandro
Great Experience!!!!
Belen
I cannot recommend Chef Adolfo enough! The whole process was super easy and smooth. He read my requirements and prepared the perfect menu from the very beginning. On the day, he arrived on time and was super friendly. It was like our private cooking class!!! And then, THE FOOD! The food was next level! Everything was fresh, delicious and perfect. Please book Chef Adolfo for your private inner, you won't regret it.
Shannon
Chef Enrico was fantastic! Personable, professional, and cooked amazing food. Several of our guests said it was the best pasta they’d ever had! Highly recommend.
Valeria
Giuseppe e il suo team sono stati molto professionali, gentili e preparati. I piatti erano fantastici e all'altezza delle aspettative. Un'esperienza fantastica!

Chef Sabrina was delightful. She set a lovely table, complete with candles and a charming menu . Warm artisanal bread that she had baked herself awaited us. We enjoyed the leftover buns the next day, toasted for breakfast. The main dish of sea bass was served with yellow and red tomato tartare made with tomatoes from her own garden--a nice touch. Chef Sabrina served the many courses seamlessly and we felt we were in a fine restaurant. Our favorite dishes: the bronze drawn spaghetti with wild caught clams with pesto of clams and courgettes was amazing. We had never tasted those tiny, sweet clams before and they were a real surprise! This was one of the best dishes we had in our entire trip to Sicily!! For dessert, Chef Sabrina prepared her own version of the traditional cassatina, constructed of cake, raspberries, chocolate bits and sweetened ricotta, frosted with marzipan and garnished with fresh raspberries and finely diced candied fruit. Perfect for my birthday! Our criticisms are few. Overall, the dishes were served only slightly warm, rather than hot, which may have been as they were intended to be. The starter of grilled giant orange prawns was disappointing as the prawns were very mushy in texture. Overall, we had a wonderful evening and we recommend Chef Sabrina wholeheartedly. If you are not accustomed to eating so many courses or you wish to have the temperature of your selections a bit warmer, you should make your requests known and I am sure she will accommodate you.

Vous pouvez faire appel au Chef Johann Schopff les yeux fermés! Une très belle expérience pour un anniversaire de mariage (7 personnes). Les plats sont très biens présentés, bien travaillés et les produits de qualité. Nous nous sommes régalés. Un très bon rapport qualité prix. Bref : au top, à renouveler!

Donderdag 28 augustus heeft Wilco een fantastisch walking diner bij ons thuis in de tuin verzorgd voor 11 personen. Na 3 heerlijke amuses kregen we een tartaar van tonijn met coquilles gevolgd door kabeljauwfilet met gamba saus. Daarna zijn signature gerecht de risotto met zomertruffel. Deze mag inderdaad niet ontbreken want je wil graag een extra portie. Ook het sateetje van waygu beef en het gemarineerde rood fruit als nagerecht waren beide heel smaakvolle gerechten in het menu. Wij waren enthousiast over het eten en de bediening maar ook van onze gasten hebben wij hierover complimenten gekregen. Wij hebben Wilco inmiddels gevraagd voor een volgend diner thuis. Wij kunnen hem ten zeerste aanbevelen. Top eten op Michelin niveau van een leuke kok.

Nous avons passé un excellent moment grâce au chef Dehaye. Tout s’est très bien déroulé, des premiers échanges via l’application, en passant par le repas en lui même et la cuisine nickel après le passage du chef. Gérard est très agréable, discute volontiers avec les invités, donne des explications sur les plats servis, tout en sachant se faire discret. Il ne fait nul doute que Gérard est passionné par son métier et a à cœur de faire plaisir avec sa cuisine généreuse et gourmande. Nous ferons appel à lui sans hésiter a l’avenir.

Afgelopen week hebben wij als familie een chef aan huis laten komen. Er was wel reden voor een feestje en met 2 jonge kinderen leek dit voor ons de ideale manier om samen een avond uitgebreid te dineren. Deze manier van een chef aan huis ontvangen was zeker een topkeuze! Vincent stond in de keuken en heeft ons de meest heerlijke gerechten geserveerd. Gabriel wist daar de juiste wijnen bij te serveren en zorgde ervoor dat de rest ook op en top geregeld was. Mochten we dit nog eens doen, dan vragen we deze twee heren zeker weer! Het was een gezellige avond met heerlijk eten en drinken. En niet onbelangrijk: de keuken is brandschoon achter gelaten.

We had the pleasure of getting Chef Terenzio for our anniversary when the full Amsterdam was in lockdown. And what an experience it was! Our Italian chef was on time, extremely respectful of our space and left it cleaner than before. The food was Mama Mia!! It is by far one of the best ravioli I have had. The starter, main course and desert were worth more than the price charged and we even had leftovers for next day. Overall a 5 star experience in the comfort of our home.
Christel
Geweldig genoten hebben wij van het fantastische diner verzorgd door Vincent. Gabriel deed de service aan tafel. We zijn echt in de watten gelegd. Een ooie herinnering is gemaakt. Contact vooraf was heel prettig zo ook tijdens het diner.
Gisela
Wilco, is een geweldige kok die in elke huiskamer past. Hij heeft voor ons voortreffelijk Italiaans gekookt en wist heel veel van de wijnen maar ook van de producten af wat hij op tafel voor ons uit serveerde. Het was voor ons een avondje uit in onze eigen huis. Complimenten!
Mathilde
Direct contact met de chef via het platform. Kan het menu naar je eigen wensen invullen. Gelijk duidelijkheid over de kosten. Maar het belangrijkste, een ongelooflijk mooie en goeie ervaring! Nu 2 keer gedaan, beide voelde het alsof je echt uit eten bent en de kwaliteit is zeer hoog! Daarbij werkt het platform ook erg fijn! Kan Chef Maison alleen maar aanraden komt voor mij als geroepen in deze tijd :)
