Chef Michele provided my friends and I with a exceptional dining experience. He was extremely well prepared and efficient in the kitchen. And he was warm and friendly and answered all our foodie questions. Chef came with linens, flatware, china and wine glasses, as well as everything needed to clean up afterwards. The meal was absolutely delicious! Definitely 5 stars!

Chef Michele, provided a wonderful experience for us, including a pasta making class followed by an excellent dinner. He was knowledgeable and engaging, and patient enough to work with our young children as well. The food was amazing and each dish was carefully prepared and served. Chef Michele provided all china, flatware, and ingredients, and left our kitchen sparkling clean at the end of the evening. Chef Michele did a wonderful job for our birthday event!
