I bring restaurant-level craft to private dining, with warmth and creativity in every course.

I’m a professional chef with over 10 years of experience, and a self-taught cook at heart. I’ve worked in restaurants, taught at a top culinary school in NYC, and for the past five years I’ve brought my cooking into private homes across Los Angeles and New York.

From intimate dinners to catered events of up to 250 guests, I focus on delivering food that feels personal and unforgettable. I’ve been honored to be part of Food & Wine’s Best Chef 2015 program and to compete on Food Network’s “Guy’s Grocery Games,” and I carry that same energy into every menu I create.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 199.60 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, Chef's special, Japanese and Local. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
