I am an Italian private chef with a passion for molecular cuisine and using creativity in the kitchen. With my food, I hope you try something you have never had before. I love to put 'my touch' to change the face of classic Italian food.

In my cooking philosophy, ingredients are the main actors. I love when you can recognize the independent ingredients when you bite them. My mom always said to me: 'don't play with food'. But, as I got more experienced, I realized that playing with food was the key to my creativity. Now, I am always a child in the kitchen - creativity and curiosity are my priority.

I learned to cook at home, first and most importantly, from my family in Salerno, Italy. I developed a passion, and have since taught myself the art of molecular gastronomy and elevated cuisine through online courses and culinary science books. I have also had the chance to cook with and learn from a number of incredible chefs, such as Alfonso Vitale, a private chef in Florence (Italy).

When I'm not cooking, you can find me studying and creating something new! I am committed to preparing delicious meals that meet clients' dietary restrictions and preferences, and I am always happy to work with you to figure out a menu that meets those needs.

For me, cooking is...

a part of me: it's my lifestyle. I fall asleep thinking about food and wake up with recipes in my mind.

I learned to cook at...

home, from my grandmothers and family in Italy.

A cooking secret...

Chef Filippo was absolutely incredible. I surprised my wife with dinner for Mother's Day and she was honestly mesmerized by the entire experience. Filippo was friendly and attentive and the food was incredible. Everything from the menu to the ingredients to the presentation to the wine pairing and service -- excellent. I would definitely have Chef Filippo prepare another meal for us and will definitely use Take a Chef again.

Chef Filippo is an exquisite chef and the entire experience was remarkable from start to finish. He was professional, respectful and had an amazing energy that radiated through his unique meal creations. His dishes were delicious and perfectly prepared. It was also a pleasure to have him in our home. We were celebrating my husband’s birthday and he went the extra mile to make the day extra special for us. We can’t wait to tell our friends and hopefully have him cook for us again in the near future! Chef Filippo is an exquisite chef and the entire experience was remarkable from start to finish.
