I bring seasonal, health-minded Italian cooking to intimate home dining.

Chef John

I have worked as a private chef since 2008, traveling across Italy and Europe to cook lunches, dinners, and exclusive private events directly in my clients’ homes. While Genoa is my home base, my approach is shaped by an international mindset and a love for turning private settings into memorable dining experiences.

I specialize in balanced, healthy cooking with minimal use of animal fats, refined sugars, and processed products. I’m experienced in gluten-free, vegan, and vegetarian menus, and I tailor each meal to your needs while keeping the food fresh, thoughtful, and creative.

Chef John
For me, cooking is fun, research, and the discovery of new ways to understand and appreciate food.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with curiosity and joy

Cooking is fun, research, and discovery for me—I’m always exploring new ways to understand ingredients and turn them into dishes that feel fresh, balanced, and exciting.

I build on tradition and real practice

I learned through family teachings, studying many cookbooks, and then putting everything into practice during my services and dinners with friends—experience that helps me deliver consistently, in any home kitchen.

I follow the seasons, always

My kitchen secret is simple: I cook only with seasonal products, preferably local and organic, sourced from small producers and artisans—because that’s where real flavor begins.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Italy?

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 80 EUR, 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 Mediterranean, Local and Seafood/Fish. 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.

How can you book my private chef services in Italy?

To book me in Italy, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.
