About
Hello and welcome! I’m Chef Novo, and for more than two decades, I’ve dedicated my career to creating meaningful culinary experiences that bring people together. Chef Novo Experience was born from a simple idea: Great food is not just about flavor — it’s about connection, celebration, and lasting memories. From intimate dinners to special gatherings, every menu is carefully designed to reflect quality, creativity, and hospitality at the highest level. This is not my story — it’s my experience.

I recently hired Chef Novo for a birthday dinner, and the experience exceeded expectations. He arrived right on time and maintained a high level of professionalism and courtesy throughout the evening. The food was absolutely delicious, with each dish thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. What really stood out was how he took the time to explain each course as it was served, adding a personal and engaging touch to the entire experience. It made the night feel extra special and memorable. Highly recommend!

We hired Chef Novo for my sister’s 30th birthday, and it was such a great experience. The appetizers were fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The five-course meal was incredible. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and flowed perfectly into the next, with great flavors and just the right portions. You could really tell how much care went into everything. More than anything, Chef Novo made the night feel personal and memorable, which meant a lot to us. I’d definitely recommend Chef Novo for any special occasion.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • I'm flexible • Dessert • American - formal • American - casual • Southern • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • French • Asian • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Chef Novo exceeded our expectations in every facet. We were looking for an elevated, private dining experience and he delivered. My wife and I are attorneys from Minneapolis. We hosted a private dinner party with family on Anna Maria Island. Chef Novo helped cultivate an impressive menu, the presented it in such an appealing and unique way. He described each dish as it was presented and made each guest feel cared for. I would recommend Chef Novo to anyone looking to hire a private chef for their event.

Chef Novo absolutely exceeded our expectations. From our very first conversation to our after dinner farewell, he was so responsive, kind and accommodating. Our dinner was amazing and even the kids ate everything! We can’t wait to have chef novo over again soon. Thank you chef novo and Wendy for making our girls trip so special.
