Private Chef experience for 5 people

I had the pleasure of hiring Giovanni as a private chef for my partners 30th birthday, and it was an experience to remember! The food was absolutely amazing, and Giovanni’s culinary skills are truly exceptional. He was incredibly responsive and informative in the lead-up to the event, ensuring that every detail was perfect. We can't wait to book him again for another birthday celebration soon. Thank you, Giovanni, for making Lydia's special day so delicious and memorable! We ate for starters: Purple Basil Fettuccine. Mains: Scallops or Aubergine Parmigiana. Deserts: Cheesecake. All exceptional. Thank you.

The most special night!

Thank you Giovanni for helping make my 30th birthday dinner the most special experience ever!

From showing flexibility when organising the event, being very responsive by message to being great company on the day and cooking the most delicious food, I couldn’t recommend Giovanni more!

Highly recommend his truffle risotto and truffle mash - absolutely de-li-ci-ous!

Amazing Chef

Chef Giovani catered for the private lunch for my husband’s 50th birthday. He was accommodating and explained the ingredients used in all the meals he prepared and served.
I do not usually eat salmon, but the aroma of Chef Giovani’s smoked salmon was inviting, and I couldn't wait to try it. I was impressed- the presentation, taste and texture were excellent!
I enjoyed it, and so did everyone.
Chef Giovani cleaned up afterwards and left the kitchen spotless.
Thank you, Chef Giovani

Giovanni was amazing!

Giovanni was amazing!! He came to our home to cook for my mums 60th birthday. Everything about the food was delicious and you could definitely taste fresh and amazing quality the ingredients were. Giovanni was lovely! Very friendly and professional with great communication before, during and after his service. He adapted his menu to our personal choices and tastes and it was a pleasure to have him in our home. Will definitely be booking with him again and if I could recommend any out of the many delicious courses he created, it would be the Scallops 😍

We recently had Giovanni come and cater for a 10 people supper at home. Giovanni’s food is delicious, he is full of ideas and gives it all to the detail of the presentation and the flavour. He is professional and I would not hesitate in recommending him.

Beautiful

Giovanni cooked for me and my friends an epic menu! He also arranged a waiter who served us drinks and let us know when the courses where ready.
I can recommend Giovanni for any occasion and he will definitely help you get what you want out of the experience!

Giovanni is a 5-star chef 👨🏻‍🍳

My cooking class with Giovanni was simply amazing. He is very knowledgeable about Italian traditional cuisine and he is willing to share all the deepest tricks for a successful outcome to his students. His attention to details is unconditional and the most powerful thing is that he includes lots of fun and jokes during the cooking experience. 5 well-deserved stars to Giovannone!!!

5 stars for Giovanni!

5 stars for Giovanni! I had a birthday dinner for 7 people. The food, Just gorgeous! Giovanni is so gifted at what he does. You could tell how much effort he put in to each course. They just kept getting better and better. He took the time out to introduce my guests to the course being served. All of the guest complimented his food. Guilia also gave a 5 star experience, she made sure all my guests were well catered for and their glasses were never empty. This is the first time I’ve hosted a private dining and it was so seamless. From start to finish Giovanni made the experience so easy. I dont think I could recommend Giovanni enough. Thank you so much!

10/10 experience

I gifted my partner a cooking lesson from Giovanni for his birthday. Giovanni prepared us a menu to our specifications which he sent along to us with a shopping list. We're both good cooks, but we learnt so much from him - from where to source and identify the best ingredients, to techniques and tips to make top restaurant-quality dishes. Giovanni was a great teacher, and his knowledge and humour (along with the delicious food we cooked) made it a fantastic experience.
