A private chef for your outdoor summer dining in Florence. A menu designed for the occasion, cooked and served in your own space.
Private chef · Florence
Outdoor Summer Dining in a restaurant means sharing the space, the noise, and the schedule with everyone else. A private chef inverts all of it: the occasion stays private, the menu is designed for you specifically, and the evening runs at the pace you want.
Your chef plans the menu with you in advance, shops for the ingredients, cooks in your kitchen, serves each course, and clears up before leaving. You discuss every detail — cuisine, dietary requirements, the number of courses, specific dishes — in direct chat before anything is confirmed.
The difference between a good private dinner and a great one is almost always in the brief. The more specifically you tell your chef what the occasion means, the better they can build something that fits it precisely.
Real experiences
The live chat made it so easy — I described what I wanted and had three menus to choose from within the hour. No back-and-forth emails, no stress.
Hosted a big family lunch and didn't lift a finger. The kids had their own menu, my mother actually sat down to eat for once, and the kitchen was spotless after.
In Italy everyone thinks they know food, so hiring a chef felt almost cheeky. Then he made a fresh pasta course at our table that my father — a man who never compliments anyone — called the best he'd had outside his mother's kitchen.
