Frequently asked questions

How much does a private chef cost?

It depends on the number of guests, the menu and the occasion. In the request you indicate a price range; the final price is the one in the proposal you accept.

Are ingredients included?

Yes, the chef does the shopping and the cost of ingredients is included in the proposal.

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend at least 6-7 days before the event. For large events or high season, 2-3 weeks is better.

Can I mention allergies and intolerances?

Yes: in the request you can list dietary needs and restrictions, and the chef takes them into account.

What happens after I send the request?

You get a confirmation email with a reference. Available chefs send you proposals and you choose, with no commitment until payment.

What are the price ranges?

For groups of 5 or more: Gustosa €40-60, Tentazione €60-90, Esclusiva €90-110 per person; for up to 4 people from €80-120 per person. Shopping, cooking, service and cleaning up are included, drinks are not. On special dates (Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, Ferragosto…) the ranges double.

How are the chefs selected?

Every chef uploads a CV and an HACCP food safety certificate. You only pay online after choosing a proposal, and the chef receives your contact details only after confirmation.

Can I cancel?

Yes, up to 48 hours before the service with a refund. Events and cooking classes are handled directly by our team.
