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.Pubblicato su Google![]()

Giuilo was absolutely fantastic. 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!Pubblicato su 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!Pubblicato su 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 !!!Pubblicato su Google![]()

Where do I even begin? Booking a class with Giulio was one of the best decisions we made during our trip to Italy. We started the evening as strangers and left feeling like friends. Giulio is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and talented. Not only did he teach us how to make gnocchi and pici pasta from scratch, but he also shared so much about authentic Italian cooking techniques and traditions. The dishes we created together were absolutely outstanding—the butter sage gnocchi and pici ragù were hands down the best pasta dishes we had during our entire trip! He also prepared sous vide beef cheek for us, which was truly unforgettable and unlike anything we’ve ever tasted. To top it all off, we finished the evening by making and enjoying a delicious tiramisu together. What made the experience even more special was the time Giulio spent getting to know us, answering our questions, and sharing recommendations for Montepulciano. His warmth and hospitality made the night feel less like a cooking class and more like an evening spent with a friend. This experience was the highlight of our trip, and we still can’t stop talking about it. We can’t wait to come back and take another class with Giulio. His passion for what he does shines through in every detail, and there’s no doubt he’s going to continue doing amazing things. Highly, highly recommend!Pubblicato su Google![]()
