I cannot say enough kind things about Antonio, both the person & the chef. A total professional but at the same time kind and genuine. He even took time to coo over the newborn twins. The menu. Oh My God. Everything was perfect. Beyond even. He took his time to curate the menu with me, discussed his technique with the curious and suggested the perfect pairing for the dessert! This will not be the last time we see him!!

Details: Regular meal • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Premium (high end ingredients) • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Antonio was absolutely amazing!! I had never hired a chef for the evening and I was worried. But that quickly turned around. Antonio answered all my questions promptly and efficiently. He was helpful and professional. The day of the dinner came and all the ingredients were fresh and delicious. Our menu included oysters, burrata, peach crostini, filet with broccolini, and tiramisu. Antonio absolutely nailed it!! It was the same as eating at a five star restaurant. The celebration came off without a hitch!!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 2 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Dessert • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Antonio cooked for a dinner party for myself and 5 friends. He created an amazing menu for us (even with several dietary restrictions) that we were really excited about. He arrived on time and each course was a hit — we especially loved the salted honey pie with bourbon vanilla cream! And to top it off, it’s such a treat to come back to a perfectly clean kitchen after dinner! Thank you!

Chef Antonio was the ultimate professional. From the second he walked into the second he left our kitchen cleaner than we found it. His culinary expertise is super impressive utilizing the highest quality, local ingredients that he announced to us right at the dinner table. His attention to detail, professionalism, skills, and personality make him an absolute must-hire in the North Jersey area. What an experience!
