Private lunch
A private chef for lunch at home
A private chef for Sunday lunch, a birthday or a family gathering in Italy: shopping and cooking included, and you choose the menu from the proposals you receive.
A private chef lunch is for people who want to spend time with their guests instead of the whole morning at the stove: from Sunday lunch with the family to brunch with friends or a business lunch at home.
You tell us the time, the number of people and the cuisine you would like (traditional, gourmet, pizza, BBQ, sushi, fusion); the chefs send you menus and prices.
What’s included
- Shopping and seasonal ingredients
- Cooking in your kitchen
- Plating and table service
- Cleaning up at the end
- Menus suited to children and dietary needs
Prices
When you book, you choose an indicative price range per person: from €40-60 (Gustosa) to €90-110 (Esclusiva) for groups of 5 or more; for up to 4 people the ranges start at €80-120, because the chef dedicates the evening to a small table. On special dates (Christmas, New Year’s Eve, Valentine’s Day, Ferragosto on 15 August) the ranges double. The final price is the one in the proposal you accept, and it covers shopping, cooking, service and cleaning up.
