     Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Giulio was exceptional. We booked a private cooking class and dinner at our villa, and it ended up being one of our teens’ favorite experiences in Tuscany. He’s professionally trained, locally focused, and incredibly informative. We made two kinds of pasta together, and the kids were completely wowed by his tiramisu (their new favorite). He also introduced us to local wines we loved so much we visited one of the wineries the next day. We only wish we had more time with him...for more dishes, wine tasting, or another private meal. Don’t hesitate to book.

We had a fantastic evening, the meal was amazing - the best food we've had in Tuscany - and the wine pairing was incredible.  He made it such a lovely atmosphere.  I organised the private dining experience as a gift for my husband's Birthday and it was a perfect way to celebrate.  Thoroughly recommended!

     Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. one of the best private chefs I’ve had experience working with as an event organizer all over the Europe. Julio was incredible attentive to every additional request we’ve had during 5 days, but also extremely professional, proactive and independent with what he was creating for us - and all the meals were 10/10! For me as an organizer is extremely important to be able to rely on chef and his professionalism without need to overlook and confirm every step and with Julio it was just like that!

15 women were highly satisfied with his service and now demanding to have him for all future travels 😂

Highly recommend!

     Trustindex verifica che la fonte originale della recensione sia Google. Het was een heel bijzondere ervaring om in je eigen tuin bediend te worden. Onze vraag was een diner uit de traditionele Italiaanse keuken begeleid met de bijbehorende wijnen
Het was excellent. Onze chef wist heel veel te vertellen over de achtergrond van de Italiaanse wijn en uiteraard ook wat hij had klaar gemaakt. Hij nam alle tijd voor ons.
Wij hebben 4 uur lang van zijn dienstbaarheid mogen genieten. Een absolute aanrader om je culinair zo te laten verwennen.
Graziè !!!
