Moment très agréable , merci au chef Kara pour avoir été aussi réactif: demande faite la veille, réponses perdues dans mes indésirables, validation à 11h pour un repas à 20h. Et c’était excellent !!

Thiago was very professional. The food was delicious. He was attentive to the fact that two members of our party didn’t do dairy. He adapted the recipes and suggested an alternative dessert for them that visually looked the same as everyone else. It was a surprise 70 th birthday for my husband and made it very special, easy with the two grandchildren present. I would highly recommend Thiago and the whole Take a chef concept.

Amazing food and amazing experience. I would highly recommend

Soirée d'anniversaire parfaite pour ma femme après la naissance de nos bébés il y a un 6 semaines. Nous avons passé un superbe moment avec un diner en tout point parfait. Nous referons appelle au chef Gustave qui nous a ouvert les portes d'un nouveau monde avec la possibilité de diner chez soi, avec ses vins et un superbe chef pour vous surprendre.

Excellent meal with Matthew, punctual, organized and attentive with the guests. He left everything very clean and the meal prepared corresponded to our request and was excellent.

Chef Gabriele Mossa came to our Tuscan Villa and cooked an unbelievable meal for myself and my family from start to finish. His incredible local dishes exceeded our expectations in every way. He took care of all from prep, cooking, setting the table and clean up. His artistic touches in plating and table presentation were almost as good as the amazing tastes of each dish. Above all, he is such a nice and personable guy. Our meal was a highlight of our experience in Cortona, Italy!

Absolutely blown away with the service, food and whole experience! Exceeded our expectations and would HIGHLY recommend! Everything from the arrival or chef and staff to clean up was 10 out of 10!

Dinner was great!

Nous sommes très satisfait de sa prestation. Le travail et le service à été effectué en toute discrétion. des plats simples mais succulents et fins, ce que nous recherchions. Je recommande vivement la cheffe Chiara et je vais certainement lui proposer d'autres dîners si l'occasion ce présente.

Theodora and her partner are so nice, polite, smiley people that really contributed to the success of our dinner experience. We highly recommend them!

Tash was awesome, she presented her dishes well, with excellence and class. We enjoyed the quality of her dishes along with the story behind them, ingredients and taste was 5 star.

He was amazing!

The team was absolutely amazing, very attentive and took care of everything. They were amazing at adapting, when we decided to change our mind about a dish. The service was amazing, i would highly recommend!

Chef Nathan was great at working together to create the menu that we wanted. He came well-equipped and left the kitchen as though he had never been there. The portions were large and the food was delicious - well worth the value. Thanks, Chef Nathan, for an awesome dinner!

Chef Cliff was absolutely fantastic. I would have him for another event in the future no questions asked…even would have the same menu it was so fantastic.

I recently discovered Take a Chef when looking for a chef to come cook dinner for a group of friends (8 adults and 2 kids) who all met up and rented a villa in Sarzana, Italy. It was a really great experience. Chef Serena was very kind and helpful when selected a menu that would highlight local dishes and also work for a large group. We had some young children in our group and the Chef was thoughtful and understanding of their limited tastes. Chef also had special pricing for the children (who ate delicious pasta and a special dessert) We had all been together for a few days and it was so nice to not have to make any decisions for the night! Our dinner was delicious and featured tons of local seafood, I would say the group's collective favorite was Spaghetti con vongole! We also had dessert and purchased some of the wines that the Chef produces. Chef also did all the clean up helping us feel very taken care of. If you are in the area I highly recommend working with Chef Serena!

Robert Ritchie was wonderful. We thoroughly enjoyed having him in our home and the incredible dining experience he worked so hard to give us.

Chef Ahmad was more than amazing! He was communicative prior to the dinner and made our evening perfect. His food was delicious and he followed through with what was promised! I have never hired a private chef before but after this experience I will definitely utilize the service again! Hire Ahmad for your next event! He will make the evening a wonderful memory.

Chef Geza is professional, down to earth and a excellent cook. I would absolutely recommend him.

Silivestru was amazing all round and created a very special experience for me and my friends. 10/10 would recommend.
