We recently hired Chef Tony for a special brunch to celebrate my wife’s birthday, and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. From start to finish, Tony’s attention to detail and culinary expertise were evident in every dish he prepared. The menu he crafted was both creative and delicious, perfectly tailored to our tastes. Each course was beautifully presented and bursting with flavor. Tony’s professionalism and warm personality made the entire experience even more enjoyable. He handled everything seamlessly, allowing us to relax and truly savor the moment. My wife was thrilled, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate her special day. We highly recommend Chef Tony to anyone looking for a top-notch personal chef experience. We will definitely be hiring him again for future occasions!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 3 - 5 guests • Breakfast / brunch • I'm flexible • American - casual • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I was looking for a chef to come to my cousin’s bachelorette party and Chef Tony’s reviews sold me so I’m here to add to that sale. If you want to book a chef, as far as I’m concerned, Chef Tony is the only person to book. First and foremost, we were a party of all women, in a rented house. Immediately, Chef Tony was a welcome addition to our crew. Inviting a man into that environment can be intimidating… Chef Tony is professional, personable, entertaining, knowledgeable and DAMN GOOD AT WHAT HE DOES. We all instantly felt comfortable with his presence, and when we came down for dinner - we were greeted by intoxicating smells coming from the kitchen, followed by a beautiful table scape. My only regret with Chef Tony is that I didn’t take photos because I couldn’t wait to try the courses, and that I can’t hire him to be my personal chef for every single meal, every single day. If you’re looking for a reliable, friendly, personable chef to welcome into your event - I really mean it when I say it’s Chef Tony or nothing.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Gluten free or celiac • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

PLEASE READ THIS REVIEW: I'm an executive assistant at a fortune 50 company, and my executive came to me and said she wanted to host her team for dinner at her home, and I embarked on a search for a private chef. Well not only did I find a chef, but a sommelier as well! I found a diamond in the rough! I'm a stickler for details and Chef did deliver. He did an intro/exploratory call so he could get aligned with the vision of the event. Chef Tony then curated a menu based on that conversation and sent it over for feedback and approval. The turnaround time on that was great. Next, he scheduled an on-site walkthrough of the kitchen and dining area so he would know what space and constraints he was working with. He also brought whatever china was needed, and did I say the menu was finely printed and placed at every seat. Listen and listen closely - If you pass up on an opportunity to YOU ARE SELLING YOURSELF SHORT. Chef Tony came out and did not just prepare food for us, but he also educated us on the wines he brought, its origins, flavors, and food pairings. This man's presentation was simply amazing. The food was plated with care - like a work of art, and it was DELICIOUS. Nothing was over or undercooked.... The appetizers and desserts were delightful, and the wine selections were impeccable. Last but not least - his pricing is very reasonable for the amazing quality he provides. My executive and her team fell in love with Chef T! They simply loved him and so did I! I would highly recommend and will definitely call on Chef Tony again in the future.

Chef Tony is an amazing chef and even better human being! I was able to procure Chef Tony for my spouse’s birthday. We have a former 25 weeker at home and so wanted to stay in without losing the ambience of a night out. Not only was the food stupendous, Chef Tony’s personality and vibrant energy was more than we would’ve received at a restaurant. He even starred in our older daughter’s content and incorporated her in the evening. He will be hearing from me more often!
