What You'll Do

Treat yourself to a handcrafted meal with rustic flavors and homey comforts.

Let this private chef experience wrap you in the warmth of Nonna’s kitchen, where comforting Italian flavors are served. Chef Maria will craft a deliciously authentic menu packed with traditional favorites.

You'll indulge in classic bruschetta, topped with juicy tomatoes and fragrant basil. Then, savor golden chicken Milanese, perfectly breaded and pan-fried, served alongside herb-roasted potatoes and tender zucchini. For dessert, you'll take a bite out of a comforting slice of Italian apple cake, where rustic flavors taste like home. No prep, no cleanup — just sit back, sip some wine and enjoy every bite.

Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to accompany the menu, and may request pairing recommendations from the chef upon booking.

This was our first experience with CozyMeal and it was wonderful! All made so special by Maria. Maria was absolutely brilliant! The food Maria cooked was so special, as was Maria! Maria is a wonderful chef and a lovely person. Not only did she cook a wonderful meal, she cleaned up everything behind her as well. We would highly recommend Maria and will ask her to come back again very soon. Thank you so much

My siblings and I hired Maria through Cozymeal to prepare a gourmet dinner at my parents' home to celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary — and she absolutely delivered. From the first message through the CM system to the final course, everything was seamless. Maria was attentive throughout the evening, patiently answering every question (my mom had quite a few

Chef Maria was exceptional and I would HIGHLY recommend her. Chef Maria's communication was very impressive and easy! The food was absolutely phenomenal and better then anything you could order at a restaurant! Maria provided everything we needed for our event and most importantly provided kindness! Chef Maria truly went above and beyond. I cannot speak highly enough about her. If we are ever in the area again I look forward to booking Chef Maria!

Chef Maria was absolutely amazing. Not only was the food delicious, but she was so sweet and truly made this bachelorette trip even more special. She even made enough food so that we had extras for that night and the next day. I can't recommend hiring Maria more, she will provide amazing food and service :)

I had the pleasure of having Chef Maria cater a bachelor party, and I can’t recommend her enough. The food was absolutely incredible - every dish was prepared to perfection and her tiramisu was truly out of this world. It was easily one of the best desserts I’ve ever had! Chef Maria’s professionalism, attention to detail and passion for her craft really shone through in every bite. I would confidently recommend her services to anyone looking for exceptional catering for any occasion. She made the event unforgettable!
