I’m a professional chef with over 15 years of experience in Michelin-starred restaurants across Italy. I began my career at La Pista del Lingotto in Turin, then continued at La Rei at Boscareto Resort and at Antica Corona Reale in the Langhe region of Piedmont.

I’m deeply passionate about Italian cuisine—especially lesser-known local dishes—and I love bringing forward the traditions that shape our culture through refined, heartfelt dining experiences.

My secret in the kitchen is using few high-quality ingredients treated with respect for tradition.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook from memory and tradition

For me, cooking means recreating the flavors and scents of my childhood, while carrying forward local traditions that represent our culture.

I build my craft through training and real kitchens

I learned to cook through Gambero Rosso courses and, of course, through my hands-on work experience in demanding, high-level restaurants.

I keep it simple, with uncompromising ingredients

My philosophy is to use just a few high-quality ingredients, handled with care and respect for tradition, so every dish feels honest and essential.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 198 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special, Mediterranean and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
