Wonderful dinner in outdoor kitchen at a rental small villa. Did it all with limited cooking utensils and pans. Excellent locally sourced and unique foods. Very personable. Well paced dinner.

Chef Serena a Tuscan gem!

The booking of our chef was seamless. Our chef Serena was a delight to plan meals and groceries for our large family. Serena is a friendly, talented and efficient chef. Accounting for my Gluten intolerance and sourcing foods for my diet so I could enjoy the breakfasts and dinners like everyone else did.
Serena prepped everything from scratch, set the table, cooked and served the food all by herself and afterwards cleaned up as if no one had even been in the kitchen as it was spotless.
We were so lucky as a family of 14 to have been served so well and we would highly recommend Chef Serena to others looking at talented chefs.
My personal standout was her Caprese salad but also the GF pesto pasta. I wish we could employ her full time !!!

A Truly Memorable 40th Birthday Dining Experience

We had such a fantastic experience with this private chef service for a 40th birthday dinner. From the start, everything felt easy and well-organised, and they matched us with Alice—who was absolutely wonderful.

She prepared a four-course meal for nine of us, and every single dish was beautifully presented, perfectly seasoned, and thoughtfully paced.

Nothing felt rushed, yet everything was served seamlessly and at just the right moment, which made the whole evening flow effortlessly. You could really tell she cared about both the food and the experience.

Beyond the cooking, Alice was warm, professional, and a pleasure to have in our home. She made what could have been a stressful evening feel completely relaxed and special for everyone.
I wouldn’t hesitate to use this service again, and I’d be delighted to have Alice back.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to create a memorable dining experience at home.

We had an amazing experience with the private chef service. The food was absolutely outstanding, beautifully prepared, and full of flavour. The service was equally impressive—the chef and staff were incredibly attentive, professional, and genuinely kind throughout the entire evening.

Everything was perfectly organised, and it truly made the occasion feel special. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for something memorable. Thank you again for such a wonderful evening!

Chef Giuseppe

Chef Giuseppe and his team were excellent! From the service, to the food, to their friendliness - could not have asked for a better private dining experience!

Excellent experience

Excellent experience. Easy process. Clear communications. And most importantly excellent chef experience. Chef Alice delivered on the meal experience we requested. The food was excellent and well prepared. Alice and her sous-chef Federico were professional and pleasant. We requested a more casual family dining experience as we were 18 family members ranging from 9 months to 88 y and they accomodated the family beautifully. Working with Alice on the menus was easy and she arrived on time well prepared. The service and clean up was wonderful as well. Chef Alice and Federico prepared 4 dinners-each 4 courses for us during our time in Italy. Each meal was unique and delicious. Our experience with Chef Alice was excellent and I would highly recommend.

A very good experience

A very good experience. It was a very professional approach. And after choosing our menu. We were introduced to our Chef. And Chef Tatiana really provided with what we needed in hospitality this day. And in her cooking you really taste her love for food and making people happy.

Chef Barbara is phenomenal!

Chef Barbara was our chef in Venice in April 2026. We wanted to do something special for my 50th birthday. This was an amazing time. Chef Barbara was phenomenal. We had great communication prior to her showing up. She was professional and yet she was so easy to talk to. The meal she prepared was delicious and much more than we ever imagined possible. My family and I truly loved having her. I hope we can meet again one day. I would highly recommend choosing Chef Barbara! Thank you again Chef!

It depends if you are lucky

The experience with Chef On Demand is highly dependent on the chef you are assigned. If you are lucky and get a very skilled chef, the evening can be enjoyable. Unfortunately, in my case, the experience itself did not fully meet my expectations.

I was hoping for a cozy, premium dinner with my family, but the food quality and overall organization felt below what I would expect from a service positioned as a “premium” private chef experience. While the platform works with a large number of chefs across Italy, this can sometimes make the level of consistency difficult to guarantee.

That said, I do want to highlight the customer service. After sharing my feedback, the team handled the situation professionally and seriously. They offered a full refund along with a 30% discount on a future experience, showing genuine attention to customer care and a willingness to take responsibility. This approach was appreciated and reflects a strong commitment to customer satisfaction.

Because of how well the situation was managed, I am willing to try the service again, as it may simply be that I was unlucky with this particular experience.

Chef Roberta is amazing!

Chef Roberta put together a dinner for 10 for us in Florence and it was fabulous! The food was delicious. Roberta was so gracious and we had zero responsibility other than to enjoy. Perfecto!

Absolutely perfect experience!

Our experience with Chef Daniele and Chef on Demand was incredible, from start to finish. They were accommodating and commutative in the scheduling process, worked with us to create the perfect menu, and came prepared on the night of the event with assistants and a drink specialist. Chef Daniele cooked an amazing meal, and it was truly some of the best food we had during our entire stay in Rome. The preparation of the food was beautiful, and they were timely, professional and kind. They came prepared and cleaned everything. We have nothing but amazing things to say about our experience, Chef Daniele and the food. Thank you!

Chef Federico was fantastic

Chef Federico was fantastic! Literally one of the best meals I’ve had in Dubai. We are big foodies and go out often to eat-so we wanted to try something new-and WOW-such fresh produce, so much thought and care was put into the food. Thank you so much

Perfect experience at Lago di Como

We had the perfect experience with our chef Lucia at Lago di Comi!
She arrived on time and brought everything she needed. She filled our villa with a wonderful atmosphere and prepared an amazing meal, better than anything we could have found in any nearby restaurant. Afterwards she left the kitchen spotless. She was cheerful, very professional, and so discreet that we hardly noticed she was there. It was comfortable, easy, and simply wonderful. We would book this experience again anytime!
