Chef Valeria & Gabriel

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 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.

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 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.

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!

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!
