I've had Gio's cooking on several occasions, and every single time I was impressed. Having him as a private chef is a great experience because not only is the food always delicious, but he is also naturally charismatic, accommodating, and a great person to be around. I would highly definitely recommend his services to anyone I know, and I look forward to experiencing his dishes in the future.

Gio was nothing but a 5-star experience! From picking high quality ingredients at the grocery store to breaking down each step and answering any questions during the cooking class, it was a fun and collaborative experience. I would highly recommend Gio to any friends or family looking to take a looking class to expand their knowledge of dishes. It was first time booking a class with Gio and it definitely won't be my last!

Hired Chef Gio to cook dinner as a surprise present for my boyfriend. The food was incredible!!! It was such an amazing dinner and overall experience! Chef Gio was friendly, funny and knowledgeable. He would explain each dish to us and each course was plated beautifully it felt like we were eating at a 5 star restaurant. Looking forward to trying his other dishes, would definitely recommend!
