We hired this private chef for a milestone birthday celebration, and he absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the start, the experience felt special and thoughtfully curated. The three flavors of hummus were fresh, creative, and bursting with flavor. The squash soup was silky, comforting, and perfectly seasoned.
The main course was a beautifully cooked rack of lamb that was tender and flavorful, paired with roasted potatoes and asparagus that were done to perfection. Every dish was not just delicious, but truly memorable.
His food was awesome, his presentation was elegant, and he made our celebration feel elevated and stress-free. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking to make a special occasion even more extraordinary.

shabbat shalom to all. Nick is likely the best chef Ive ever had cook for me. Wish he was my son, haha.
I strongly recommend him for his great work and the joy he brings to family dinners.

Hi there!
If anyone is interested in a home Chef for a special occasion ~ or for any reason, definitely reach out to Chef Nick DeFrancesco!
He prepared a wonderful meal of
butternut squash & mushroom flatbread, rack of lamb, roasted veggies & potatoes, a chickpea salad and a lovely lemon basil sorbetto presented in the lemon shell. 🍋 👨🍳
Chef Nick happily accommodated any special dietary needs, was very personable, everything was timed perfectly and just delicious!
