Antonio y su compañera han estado geniales, adaptaron el menu a nuestras necesidades, muy comunicativo todo el tiempo. La comida muy buena y el trato excelente.

Era el cumpleaños de mi mujer y gracias a su trabajo lo convirtio en algo realmente especial. Un excelente trabajo platos de gran calidad, excelente presentacion y a nivel personal atento y cercano. Un 10

Tanto el como su esposa muy atentos y discretos. Un servicio excelente. Lo recomendaría sin dudar. Muchas gracias por el servicio.

The chefs were amazing! We had planned to have a very last minute breakfast service for my dad's birthday. It was a very reasonable price for a service that exceeded our expectations. The chefs were very outgoing and friendly, the service was incredible and the food kept coming. Near the end we had to ask them to stop bringing food because it was so much! Which isn't the worst problem to have. The cleanup after was spotless. They were incredible and made my dads birthday so special. Can not recommend enough!!!

Throughout the planning process, Antonio was accommodating and easy to communicate with. I was traveling to Italy for a 50th birthday celebration with 12 other women, friends and family. I asked Antonio to develop a surprise menu and he really delivered. We were in truffle heaven! We started our experience with appetizers on our back terrace overlooking the sea. Everything was delicious and Antonio and his partner Tanya were absolutely delightful. We moved inside for our dinner course and they had arranged our table beautifully and even surprised me with some 50th birthday balloons in a centerpiece. Highlights of our menu included a wonderful bruschetta, a truffle mousse appetizer (I admit, I licked the plate), and veal with truffle risotto. We rounded out our meal with pistachio tiramisu. I cannot recommend chef Antonio and Tanya highly enough.

This was an amazing experience. The food was so good and the value is amazing. Thank you so much - we had the best time.

Chef Antonio and his wife Tonya were an absolute delight and the epitome of professional and truly talented!! We worked together, in advance, on the menu for a very special dinner in Praiano while on vacation . They arrived (with smiles on their faces) at a very hard to find rental location. The aperitifs and first and second dishes were spectacularly plated and tasted incredible. Chef Antonio was gracious to substitute some of the dishes based upon our allergies and food preferences. They offered a variety of delicious desserts to close out the night. Watching them prepare the dinner in our rental was so much fun AND they cleaned up everything!! They were a pure joy. Sweet to talk to and funny too!! I highly recommend!!!

Tout était absolument parfait ! De bons produits, des chefs professionnels, arrangeants, discrets, qui ont tout laissé propre ensuite. Tout était sur mesure pour nous. On a pu profiter au maximum. Les menus étaient excellents et parfaitement en accord avec la description. Un moment inoubliable que nous avons passé tous ensemble au delà du menu, nous nous en souviendrons toujours. Mille mercis à Antonio et sa femme. Très tristes de savoir qu’on ne les reverra peut être pas. Allez y les yeux fermés.

Antonio deserves a 6* rating

Great experience, I'm already thinking about another occasion to bring Antonio back home. Such a wonderful dinner!

Antonio y Tanya nos han hecho pasar una velada maravillosa. Dos grandes profesionales, cercanos y atentos. Repetiremos seguro. Muchas gracias a ambos!
