The meal Stefano made was absolutely delicious! He came and cooked 4 courses plus wine pairings for a bachelorette party of 10 and everything about it was perfect! They went with our casual vibe but prepared 5 star quality food. He made picking a menu so easy and provided so many options. I highly recommend Taste of Napoli for any occasion! We’ll definitely be hiring Stefano again!

We booked Stefano for our private anniversary dinner / cooking class. Booking was easy (quick communication, simple booking instructions), flexible (easy to modify dinner plans, easy to choose dates and times and location), and overall excellent.
Stefano offered to come to our home, or meet us at an airbnb (whichever was preferred with COVID). His kitchen is currently under renovation. He also suggested we discuss with a wedding venue that he knew the owner of down south. The wedding vendor owner was extremely willing to work with us knowing that Stefano is who sent us to her. Her reviews of him were glowing and basically sealed the deal.
This event was a surprise for my husband, and when we arrived Stefano had everything setup and ready to go. Aprons for both of us, some food prepped or ready for us to get hands on with, and the kitchen and romantic dinner table setup for us. The entire evening was fun and the atmosphere was fantastic, with shared wine between us and the chef (we brought it to share!) and more wine at the table.
Our dinner was 4 courses: eggplant parmesan, spaghettis with clams, branzino with potatoes, and a deconstructed tiramisu. Each course was spectacular.
I will recommend Stefano to EVERYONE!! and when his kitchen is finished under renovation, I hope to bring friends and family to enjoy his wonderful cooking too!

We contacted Stefano as a private chef for a bachelorette party and were absolutely blown away by the quality, taste, and overall experience of the dinner. Their prosciutto wrapped shrimp and chicken Marsala are incredible! Would absolutely recommend him and his team again and again. Thank you very much Taste of Napoli!
