Matthew is by far one of the most talented chefs out there. Not only is he talented but he is passionate about his work and the people he is working for. He has hosted numerous dinner parties for myself, family and friends and is the first person I call when I need off site catering.
Matthew catered my off site wedding and by far exceeded all expectations. People still talk about it to this day!! The passed hors d’oeuvres, the plated entrees, and everything in between was perfect. He also made our wedding cake which was my dream cake!! Simple and elegant and delicious.
I can go on and on but I will leave it with this - Matthew is not only a professional but is also the most down to earth person I know. He wows people with his cooking, his hospitality and beautiful soul. Thank you, Matt!

I’m not even sure where to begin.
I’ve had the pleasure of having Chef Matt provide an experience (aka dinner) for me and my friends/family a few times and he just keep getting better. With a slight curveball in my recent dinner with him - my cousin and her bf are gluten free - Chef Matt made an entire meal that we were all able to eat and it was EXCELLENT. The gluten free chicken parm was out of this world and my cousin even compared it to…well…let’s just say a “good feeling.”
Personable, professional and educational are some of the words I’d use to describe Chef Matt anytime one is lucky to have him enter their home. You will always learn something from him. You will always be able to have a conversation with him. And you will always, always, always love what he brings to the table. Literally. Already looking forward to my next dinner experience with him!

Matthew’s services are top notch! By far one of the most talented private chefs around. He hand selects the best ingredients and caters to each person’s individual tastes and preferences. The meat is always cooked to absolute perfection — so juicy and tender. His pasta dishes are just spectacular! Matthew has cooked for us on numerous occasions and we have never had a bad experience. If you need a private chef, Matthew is your guy!

I have been lucky enough to have hired the Art of Eating, and also been a patron.
Matt’s abilities to create not just a delicious menu but also ambience always go beyond my expectations. His creativity, quality, and aesthetics are impossible to match. The Art of Eating is perfect for any event.

I have attended multiple events hosted by Matthew and have been a part of additional events he was hired to cater. Time and time again Matthew proves his food is the real deal.
When you attend one of these dinners you are not only going to receive a wonderful meal but also a description of the food and how it was prepared. You go on a journey with everyone around, it is truly a wonderful experience.
Always looking forward to my next encounter with The Art of Eating!
