A wonderful dining experience where everything is taken care of for you. Chef Stefano puts together a fantastic menu, complete with perfectly paired wines and non-alcoholic beverages. A delightful way to celebrate a birthday.

A delightful way to celebrate a birthday.

Chef Stefano prepared a wonderful dinner! We gave this as a gift to a family for whom dining out is not an option. It’s fantastic that, in this way—within the comfort of their own home—they were still able to enjoy a restaurant-style experience. Thank you, Stefano; it was excellent!

Chef Stefano prepared a wonderful dinner!

Stefano cooked for me and a group of friends, and it was a resounding success from the very first moment. The food was wonderful, and the entire evening was executed with impeccable attention to detail.

As a hostess, I was completely taken care of by Stefano. He even effortlessly finished and served the amuse-bouches I had prepared myself, allowing me to focus entirely on my friends and truly enjoy the evening as a guest at my own party. Stefano is warm and hospitable, with an intuitive sense for the atmosphere—attentive when needed, yet pleasantly unobtrusive. He left the kitchen spotless afterward. A truly worry-free experience!

A completely stress-free experience with delicious food.

The food was absolutely amazing, with incredible flavors and a great taste experience. The wines Stefano selected paired perfectly with every dish. Everyone truly enjoyed the evening. Highly recommended!

The food was absolutely amazing

Stefano prepared a fantastic 4-course Italian dinner for my group of 11 friends. Stefano creates authentic Italian flavors, a well-balanced menu and gives detailed explanations with each dish. Besides a great chef, he is a very pleasant person too. I would highly recommend Stefano to anyone looking for a true Italian dining experience.

We had him for my birthday party and he made my birthday party even more special! The food was AMAZING! The service, the presentation, the communication — all in combination was just great! If we would arrange such a dinner/party again, we will definitely invite him again and will try another menu! Thank you so much chef Stefano! you’re the BEST!

Amazing Dinner Experience with Chef Stefano!

Stefano was Great. The food was really good and super high quality. It was a amazing experience. He was super flexible with our different wishes for each person and made everyone happy. I would really recommend him to anyone and I am very happy happy we booked him.

Stefano was Great

I am so glad that we found Stefano, he arranged an Italian 5-course menu at home for us for a very special evening. Every dish was authentic, fresh and prepared with so much love and passion. Grazie mille Stefano, we had the best night!

5 star experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Chef Stefano and his colleague. From start to finish, they completely took care of everything, allowing us to fully relax and enjoy the evening.

They prepared a delicious four-course dinner, thoughtfully combining both meat and vegetarian dishes, all beautifully presented and full of flavor. What made it even more special was Stefano bringing unique, high-quality ingredients directly from Italy, which truly elevated each course.

The attention to detail, smooth coordination, and personal touch made the whole experience feel intimate and tailored to us. We highly recommend Chef Stefano if you’re looking for an exceptional and worry-free dining experience at home.

Absolute wonderful experience

Chef Stefano was ontzettend vriendelijk, maar ook heel professioneel... We hadden een 4 gangen menu voor 4 personen, Frans Japanse fusion en kregen van hem een crispy frisse amuse vooraf. De tonijn tartaar was hemels. De buikspek en entrecote waren botermals... En de cheesecake maakte het geheel helemaal af! Op ons verzoek hield Stefano er de vaart behoorlijk in! En schonk hij attent onze eigen wijn... Grazie Stefano voor ons een hele fijne avond te bezorgen!

Chef Stefano was ontzettend vriendelijk, maar ook 

Chef Stefano Martorana was een fantastische ervaring. Wij hadden mijn zus & zwager een verrassingsetentje cadeau gegeven. Ze wisten van niets… maar het eten en het gastheerschap van Stefano was meer dan geslaagd. Voor herhaling vatbaar!

Some evenings deserve more than a restaurant.
I'm Stefano — private chef based in the Netherlands, with years of experience in high-end professional kitchens. That background taught me to think beyond the expected and master a wide range of culinary styles: from a pure Italian dinner to modern fusion cuisine — Italian-Asian, Franco-Italian, Mediterranean and beyond.
Many of the ingredients I work with are sourced directly from Italy, because great cooking starts long before you reach the stove.
Over the years I've come to understand what I truly look for in a dish: pure flavour. Food that doesn't hide behind complexity — where every element on the plate has a reason to be there, and nothing gets in the way of the taste itself.
Every menu I design is built around you: your tastes, your guests, the mood you want to create. Whether you're craving the comfort of a classic Italian table or the excitement of something unexpected, I'll craft an experience that feels made for you — because it is.
What you get isn't just a meal. It's an evening you'll talk about long after the plates are cleared.
 My services are flexible and fully tailored to the client's needs:<ul><li>Private chef at home – A refined dinner at your home, perfectly prepared</li><li>Custom catering – For parties, dinners, or corporate events for up to 20 people</li><li>Freelance chef (self-employed) – Available for temporary support in professional kitchens</li></ul>
