Chef Daniele is simply amazing. He offered to let us help out as much as we wanted. He explained what we were doing at each step. Chef Daniele is personable and we had a great time with him in the kitchen. The food was amazing! I can't say enough about how good the meal was and the recipes weren't so complicated that we can't repeat the meal. If you'd like to private cooking class in your home, you simply must hire Chef Daniele.

Chef Daniele orchestrated a fabulous evening. Half cooking class, half fine dinning. Everyone enjoyed home made Italian dishes and great company.

Chef Daniele did a private dinner for a small group of friends and we had a wonderful time! He answered questions quickly and made menu recommendations tailored to our group. He was friendly and made an excellent meal. We cleaned our plates and would recommend him to anyone who wants great Italian food but may want to avoid the logistics of getting multiple people to dinner exactly on time. Even better is that we could relax and drink while smelling the food as it cooked!

Details: Dinner • Appetizers • Entrees • Desserts • Hot beverages (coffee, tea, etc.) • American - formal • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Southern • French • 6 - 10 guests • Meal prepared onsite • Brunch / dinner party • $71 - $80 per person • The personal chef travels to me

Chef Daniele was absolutely WONDERFUL! We could not have asked for a better chef or setup. Our group was visiting Austin from out of town for a joint bachelor/bachelorette party and staying at an AirBNB, so we thought it would be nice to stay in for an evening to visit. Chef Daniele was extremely accommodating in creating a menu that included dishes for vegetarian and vegan guests. He sent me the menu days in advance. Since we were unfamiliar with the pots/pans, knives, kitchen tools, and kitchen itself, Chef Daniele brought many of his own tools, which was extremely helpful to us. On the morning of the event, we unfortunately encountered an issue with the gas line. Chef Daniele offered at that point to cook on the grill outside (which was incredible!), even though he had already bought the ingredients for the inside meal. Thankfully, the gas line was fixed and he cooked the following delicious small plates for the group: spinach, garlic and basil fettuccine with wild mushrooms; Red-wine chicken with vegetable mirepoix; Milk-braised pork tenderloin; Sauteed lemon green beans. He even allowed one of our guests (who loves to cook) to assist in cooking! We were also grateful that Chef Daniele was okay with a little partying (maybe too much drinking) and dancing during the evening! :) Chef Daniele's punctuality (on time!); hospitality (accommodating, in tune with the guests likes/dislikes, cleaned up the kitchen for us and even washed some dishes that he did not use-very unnecessary!), personality (kind, calm, and happy!) and cooking (Florence-trained!) were all perfect. As a result, I have recommended him to friends that live in Austin, and I will continue to recommend him to anyone visiting the area for the weekend! Thank you to Chef Daniele for an all around fantastic evening!

Amazing time this evening with Chef Daniele. He taught a class on AUTHENTIC Italian in our home for my 10 year old (Birthday present as he loves to cook) and my wife and I. Daniele brought everything and did an awesome job teaching our son while also teaching us (my wife is a great cook and learned a lot). The meal (three homemade pastas from scratch and three different sauces) was delicious. He took his time and was a great teacher and a great Chef. We are already planning another class. Highly recommend Chef Daniele if you need a class or a Chef for an event.
