Graduated in 2006 from the culinary institute of Milano (Italy) after a 5 year program I've accumulated over 14 years of experience in the hospitality industry working in mid-high end restaurants in Milano, Melbourne and Toronto where I've settled since October 2019.

As an Italian I acknowledge traditions but I use my knowledge and the techniques learned over the years to deliver to you a true taste of Italy with a more modern approach.

For me, cooking is...

my passion, my life, memories

I learned to cook at...

in school, but only working in the real world of restaurants I refined techniques and learned daily

A cooking secret...

SIMPLICITY is the key for me, few good quality ingredients is all it takes.

What a treat! Chef made dinner for 10 on my wife’s birthday. It was just perfect.

Chef Andrea exceeded out expectations from beginning to end. Highly recommended! Not one complaint! So much so, that we will inquire to bring him to Los Angeles for our next function. Grazie Mille!!

Chef Andrea Bolis was truly exceptional. With his expertise in so many cuisine especially from his native land of Italy, my partner Jessikah and I felt like we traveled and experienced Italy right at home. Chef Andrea customized a menu for us based on our request and kept in touch with us throughout the process. The food, dessert and wine pairings were all an immersive experience to our taste palettes. We couldn’t have asked for a better chef, truly Michelin star in the comfort of our home. We are already planning to re-book Chef Andrea!

Andrea prepared one of the THE best multi course meals I have ever had. Delicious light Italian freshness in every bite. He even prepared two extra courses in addition to the ones proposed in the original menu: a lovely oyster amuse bouche and a palette cleansing gelato. He was a delight and the next time I want a romantic beautiful meal I will call him and will encourage my friends to do the same. A fabulous experience. Five Star ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ chef.

Chef Andrea was amazing and he served us with delicious food! definitely hiring him again!!

Andrea is an absolutely amazing chef, the dishes were outstanding. He surpassed all expectations and i would most certainly hire him again. Thanks for making my girlfriend and I anniversary unforgettable.
