I’m a professional chef with nearly 20 years of experience in both fine dining and high-volume kitchens, now focused on creating elevated private dining experiences. My background includes menu development, scratch cooking, and leading teams in fast-paced, quality-driven environments.

As your private chef, I deliver calm, seamless service with strong attention to detail, customizing each menu around seasonality, dietary needs, and personal preferences—whether it’s an intimate dinner, a celebration, or a multi-course tasting. My goal is simple: exceptional food, effortless hosting, and a night you’ll remember.

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 175 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, Latin American, French, Mediterranean and Local. 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.
