Chef Giuseppe Carlos

Chef At Home In Playa Del Carmen

I am a restauranteur, a warm host but most importantly a passionate chef with more than 14 years of experience. I take pride in having worked up my way in some of the best Michelin level kitchens in the Napa Valley and Yountville area , working under world renowned chefs such as Celebrity Chef Michael Chiarello and Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto. Eventually trying my hand at Mixology and creating my own bar menus . As well as dominating all other positions in the hospitality industry to assure a well rounded experience once I ventured into owning my own establishments. Eventually landing in beautiful Playa del Carmen where I had the pleasure of opening and operating a few passion projects. I now focus on bringing all my culinary knowledge to your vacation home to make lasting memories.

For me, cooking is...

A way to not only nourish oneself but also to experience excitement , satisfaction, pleasure and old comforting feelings one flavor note at a time.

I learned to cook at...

I am fortunate enought to have most of my formal training from the most brilliant minds to come out of the Culinary Institute of America.

A cooking secret...

Creating each new dish with the same foundation of flavors and techniques that make us love childhood favorites . And putting flavor above all else.

OMG! The food and the service was amazing! Don’t let the chef calm demeanor fool you! He gets dooown in the kitchen. I booked this experience last minute because of cancelled plans to Tulum. It was my partners birthday and she wanted some tasty food. Chef did not disappoint. She loved every dish! The plating was picture perfect and the flavors me do the happy dance. If debating who to choose and this Chef is an option! Please do yourself and you taste buds a favor and book him! Thank you Chef you will be hearing from us again.

Chef Giuseppe exceeded all expectations. Our family of 14 could not have asked for a better experience. The food was amazing, the service was unparalleled, great communication, phenomenal at accommodating our detailed dietary requests. The food was served prompted, it was delicious, he served and did a lot of clean up, leaving the cooking and eating spaces spotless, the food costs were great, he was friendly, accommodating, personable, and he was just an all around professional. With a large family from 1 year old to 63, he served us lunch and dinner for three days, and we wish we asked for longer, and he met all our needs and exceeded expectation. Great value, great Chef, great all around human. I highly recommend Chef Giuseppe for your private chef needs. Thank you Giuseppe!
