Private Chef in Umbria
Fine Dining at Your Villa with

Private Chef Umbria Perugia

A culinary experience created just for you

Each villa, each journey and each group of guests tells a different story.
My work as a Private Chef in Umbria starts exactly here: stepping into the places you love, listening to what inspires you, and turning it into a custom-designed menu prepared directly in your kitchen.

The service is created for couples, families and small groups seeking a special moment during their stay — an elegant dinner, a private celebration, an anniversary or simply a more intimate way to discover the flavors of Umbria.

Local ingredients, contemporary technique

My cuisine moves between tradition and creativity. Umbria offers extraordinary raw materials — extra virgin olive oil, black truffle, wild herbs, artisanal cheeses and exceptional local meats — all selected from small producers in the region.

Every dish is born from a double focus: on one hand, the genuineness of seasonal local products; on the other, the elegance of contemporary techniques that turn a dinner into a sensory experience.

How the Private Chef service works

The process is simple and fully personalized:

​

1. Consultation & custom menu design

Tell me about your style, your preferences and the atmosphere you're looking for.
I create 2–3 tailored menu proposals inspired by Umbrian flavors, easily adaptable for vegetarian, gluten-free or plant-based needs.

​

2. Ingredient selection

I personally select every product, choosing only seasonal ingredients and trusted local suppliers. In many cases I bring herbs, vegetables or specialties directly from my own garden or from small artisans.

​

3. Cooking in your villa

I arrive with everything needed — ingredients, tools, mise en place — and prepare each dish directly in your villa’s kitchen.
As guests, you don’t have to worry about anything.

​

4. Table service or family-style

Depending on the mood of the evening, I can offer an elegant plated service or a more relaxed, convivial family-style dinner, ideal for gatherings with friends.

​

5. Complete kitchen cleanup

At the end of the service, I leave the kitchen exactly as I found it: clean and tidy, so you can enjoy the rest of your evening without any concern.

Intimate dinners and artisanal cooking

For small groups up to 12 guests, I can create:

  • multi-course gourmet dinners

  • Umbrian–Tuscan tasting menus

  • seasonal truffle experiences

  • fire-cooking evenings with live flame techniques

  • fresh handmade pasta prepared on-site

  • small private events within your villa

Guests particularly appreciate the feeling of having a high-level restaurant… entirely for themselves.

An experience designed for travelers

I mainly work with international travelers who choose Umbria for its authenticity.
For many, a private dinner becomes one of the most memorable moments of their stay: a place to relax after a day of discovery, a moment where Italian cuisine becomes something to live, not just taste.

A dinner that doesn’t feel like a “service”, but like a moment crafted with care, warmth and authenticity.
