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!

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 made my husband’s birthday (private dinner) a phenomenal experience. He guided me through the menu creation process and the evening was so seamless that you would swear he also was a party planner. The food was delicious, presented beautifully, and unique. He even entertained my nosey toddlers who were desperate to “help”. At the end of the night, Chef Michele felt more like family than a hired chef, which is exactly the vibe we were looking for. I would highly recommend this chef.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Dinner • I'm flexible • Dessert • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.
