Cooking is second nature for me; it is in my blood and my passion. My great-great-grandfather and great-grandfather were chefs in Italy. Growing up, I was fortunate to have my Italian grandmother (Nunny) help raise me, and I got to watch her in the kitchen every day. Aside from cooking, educating others is a passion of mine. I enjoy sharing a technique or a trick that any kitchen enthusiast can use. My outgoing personality and warm demeanor will make you and your guests feel at home as your personal chef in Pittsburgh. I craft memorable culinary experiences that are tailored to your unique preferences, ensuring every meal is unforgettable. With over two decades of experience as a private chef in Pittsburgh, I’ve had the pleasure of serving diverse clients, from intimate family dinners to grand corporate events. Each meal is a reflection of my Italian heritage, my training, and my commitment to using only the finest ingredients. Whether you are seeking a personal chef in Pittsburgh PA for a romantic dinner, a cooking class, or a corporate event, my services are fully customized to meet your needs. My goal is to create exceptional dining experiences that bring people together over gourmet food. As your private chef in Pittsburgh, I handle everything from menu planning and grocery shopping to cooking and cleanup, making the entire process seamless and enjoyable. Whether you want a hands-on cooking class or a completely curated dinner, I ensure that each dish not only tastes incredible but reflects your style and preferences.
