I was born and raised in Rome, Italy and have always had a passion for cooking, vintage Vespa scooters and living “La Dolce Vita”. I was raised in my grandma’s kitchen, not only doing my homework and eying the preparation of pasta made from scratch, but taking part in Mom and Grandma’s delicious Italian cuisine. Even though I owe most of my cooking skills and passion to Nonna Vittoria I later refi
ned my skills by attending a few classes at the “Gambero Rosso Culinary School” in Rome, and enhanced my experience by entertaining family and friends at our home many days a week (to my wife’s delight). After working in the corporate world for over 10 years I realized it was time for me to change careers and do what I am really passionate about, cooking. Not just simply cooking, but cooking for others, and cooking in a way that makes them feel cared for, loved and special. Being a Personal Chef is important to me because I know exactly how it feels to come home tired after a long days work and have to think about dinner. My intention is to give professionals and families a chance to eat healthy nutritious food in their home; therefore, allowing additional free time and fullest family life to all. I take my job seriously, I am a member of the USPCA (United States Personal Chef Association) and aside from my Italian experience, have trained with the Culinary Business Academy. I am in continuous personal and professional development as I believe life is best lived when learning and bettering oneself.
