Chef Tony cooked for my mom’s surprise 60th birthday this past Saturday! We asked him to prepare a special menu to celebrate my mom and to elevate the overall occasion. Chef Tony did not disappoint. He was communicative from the moment I reached out, provided a detailed menu for review and was transparent and fair with pricing. He was punctual, flexible and rolled with the punches. Each dish and wine pairing was thoughtfully and intentionally crafted and made my home feel like a fine dining restaurant. We cannot recommend Chef Tony more highly and we hope to have him a part of other special occasions in the future!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Lunch • I'm flexible • American - casual • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Mexican / Latin American • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

I had the pleasure to have Chef Tony cook for my man birthday this week. It was a surprise private dinner and it was a success. Chef Tony was well organized and had the food coming out back to back. Everything I took a bite of, caused my taste buds to go wild lol. The portions of the food was great, the quality of the food was great and Chef Tony confidence spoke thru the food. I will book Chef Tony any time I need a service like this again. My man was very very very pleased and this was our first time sharing an experience like this. Thank you Chef Tony for making my surprise, rememberable and well appreciated.

Engaging Chef Tony was a culinary revelation that left an indelible mark on my event. Amidst the hustle of last-minute plans, Chef Tony seamlessly orchestrated a menu that went beyond our wildest expectations. His dedication and love for his craft, honed over twenty-three years, shone through in every dish. What truly set Chef Tony apart was his ability to turn a gathering into a culinary spectacle. The surprise and joy on our guest of honor's face mirrored my own sentiments; Chef Tony had not just cooked a meal but crafted an unforgettable experience. Beyond his culinary prowess, Chef Tony's role as a food judge and wine expert added an extra layer of sophistication to the evening. The flavors he curated were nothing short of a symphony, and each bite was a testament to his skill and passion. Chef Tony's commitment is not confined to the kitchen; he takes his show on the road, ensuring that the magic of his cuisine is not bound by location. With him, you're not just hiring a chef; you're investing in an extraordinary journey of taste and refinement. Having enlisted the services of numerous private chefs, Chef Tony's name now sits prominently atop my list. The value he brings to the table transcends mere monetary considerations; it's a reflection of his genuine love for people and the culinary arts. Trust Chef Tony for an experience that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also leaves an enduring impression on the soul. Thanks again Chef Tony. Will be seeing you again soon.

It was a 6 course extravaganza of food and wine. For our 30th anniversary we wanted an experience. We were able to cook with Chef Tony to our comfort level. We learned so much about the wines which he paired with every course. The ingredients were so fresh and some were right from his garden. But best of all the food was delicious and purposeful on the palate.

Details: 3 - 5 people • Italian • French • American • Mediterranean • Mexican / Latin • Soups and sauces • Roasting and braising • Baking - desserts and pastries • Adult (over 18) • I'm flexible • My home, venue, etc.
