Private chef in the Cinque Terre

Ligurian cooking from the sea and the garden

On the terraces of the Cinque Terre people cook with basil, Ligurian olive oil, oily fish and vegetables from small gardens. The chef starts from traditional dishes and adapts them to your tastes and to any diets you mention in the request.

• trofie with Genoese pesto
• Monterosso anchovies, fried, stuffed or marinated
• stuffed mussels La Spezia style
• focaccia and farinata
• vegetable pies and fish from the gulf

Car-free villages and uphill houses

In the Cinque Terre villages you walk a lot: lanes, steps and very few cars. Tell us in the request how the house is reached, how many burners the kitchen has and how many of you there are, so the chef can plan shopping and equipment.

For several days of holiday you can book the chef for breakfast, lunch or dinner. The indicative holiday bands are €32-48, €48-72 and €72-88 per person per meal, with ingredients charged separately. Drinks are excluded; for Sciacchetrà and Cinque Terre whites there is a separate sommelier service.

When to book

From April to October the villages are very busy. The minimum is 6 days ahead; for summer and for groups, 2-3 weeks ahead is better. Coverage is checked for each request, including Levanto, Portovenere and La Spezia.
