Enjoy an intimate Italian-style private chef experience thoughtfully prepared by Chef Aaron. The session unfolds at an easy, indulgent pace and every detail from prep to cleanup is handled for you.
Start by grazing on an eye-catching charcuterie board featuring mortadella, prosciutto, Pecorino cheese, ricotta salata, figs and nuts. From there, settle into comforting, simple but tantalizing cheese and pepper pasta with spaghetti, Parmesan and Pecorino cheeses alongside black pepper, followed by an earthy tomato sauce with braised Italian sausage and juicy meatballs. Your meal ends with a cozy finish of bold espresso and Italian cookies. Reserve your private chef today and bring a bit of Italian finesse to your table.
Guests are welcome to provide wine and beer to accompany the menu, and may request pairing recommendations from the chef upon booking.

Chef Aaron came to our home for a French cooking class. His patient way of teaching and the amazing food was a perfect way to celebrate a family birthday! He spent extra time with us, and ensured that each person felt confident with the skills. We would definitely recommend him to anyone!

Our night with Chef Aaron was fantastic. From the start he made us feel welcome and comfortable in his kitchen. It was the perfect setting for a couple wanting date night or a group looking for a fun event.
He lead us through cooking 4 different types of pasta, and his love, knowledge and experience of cooking was felt throughout. His experience and stories of learning to cook with his Nonna and family in Italy were our favorite part. We will absolutely be booking him again and are looking forward to all the different menu options he offers.

Chef Aaron's experience spans his nonna's kitchen to collaborations with Michelin-starred chefs, of the likes of Thomas Keller, Daniel Humm and many more. His all-consuming passion for hospitality and professional expertise is evident in both his cooking classes and home dining experiences. You can come to him or he can come to you - either way, brace yourself for an unforgettable experience.
