Chef Mirco and his wife cooked us truly a 5 star meal. They literally only had 2 burners to work off of and they did a phenomenal job!! It was basically magic. There were 5 of us total and they gave us large portions of bruschetta, homemade mushroom truffle ravioli, FILET MIGNON, broccoli and puréed cannellini beans. We were so full and satisfied at the end, but we had to have their Tiramisu. They gave us many options before we settled on our menu and really understood what we wanted. Truly cannot recommend Chef Mirco and his wife Chef Dora enough!

Hired ached Micro and Dora as a surprise dinner for my parents wedding anniversary. He answered all of my questions and helped me put together an incredible menu for my parents surprise dinner while being in a different country. They went above and beyond. My parents still rave about how amazing the food and presentation was and said they would definitely hire himself and Dora again I'm the future. Highly highly recommend!

Chef Mirco provided a great experience for my boyfriend and I. He reached out a few days prior, and we created a menu that worked for the two of us. I thought that would be difficult because he loves seafood and I do not, but it was awesome! He hand-made everything from scratch, including the ravioli pasta. We could see the heart and passion poured into the dishes. I would recommend Chef Mirco to anyone and hope to use him again in the future!

Chef Mirco and his wife Dora were two of the most amazing humans I have ever met. We are actually going to book them all the time now. Such a loving and accepting presence AND some of the best food I have ever eaten! 100 out of TEN!!! ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!

Chef Mirco and his daughter were absolutely incredible! They provided excellent service from booking to clean up. Chef Mirco is a true Italian chef, and his recipes are proof of that! Everything we had was homemade authentic Italian and our family agrees it rivals any meal we had in Italy. From Italian music in the background, to speaking in Italian in the kitchen, Chef Mirco was the perfect fit for our special birthday dinner. 12/10 recommend !!

HE WAS AMAZING

Last weekend, we had the pleasure of experiencing the culinary artistry of Chef Mirco, an Italian maestro in the kitchen who hails from Italy. His expertise was not just in the dishes he prepared but also in the way he brought the essence of Italian cuisine into our AirBnB. The meal started with a quiche that was nothing short of a masterpiece. Its flavor and texture were perfectly balanced, making each bite a delightful experience. Chef Mirco's skill shone through in this simple yet elegant dish. Then came the seafood carbonara - a dish that was both a visual and gastronomic treat. The pasta was cooked to al dente perfection, and the seafood was fresh, enhancing the overall flavor profile. The plating was a work of art, showcasing Chef Mirco's attention to detail. The main course, a Braised Lamb with potatoes, was the highlight of the evening. The lamb was tender, succulent, and infused with herbs that complemented its rich flavor. The potatoes were a perfect accompaniment, soft and flavorful, absorbing the essence of the lamb. For dessert, we were treated to an Italian chocolatey delight. It was the perfect end to our meal - rich, creamy, and indulgently satisfying. This dessert not only pleased our taste buds but also left us with a sweet memory of the night. Overall, we were thoroughly impressed and satisfied with Chef Mirco's culinary skills. His passion for Italian cuisine was evident in every dish he served. We would highly recommend him to anyone looking to experience authentic Italian flavors in the comfort of their home. Chef Mirco is not just a chef; he is a culinary artist who brings a piece of Italy to your table.

Chef Mirco Falcone is extremely talented, professional, kind, creative and made our 21st birthday celebration an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend this truly wonderful chef and can’t wait to hire him again!
