Porto in tavola il cuore della Toscana con sapori autentici, stagionali e pieni di tradizione.

Writing A Truly Unforgettable Italian Culinary Experience We had the most memorable evening with Simone—a wonderful pasta-making lesson followed by an incredible five-course dinner, all privately prepared and shared together as a family. Simone started the evening by teaching us how to make fresh tagliatelle, patiently guiding us through the process and getting everyone involved. He then took us on an absolute journey of pasta heaven. We began with expertly made Aperol Spritzes, followed by a soft and sumptuous Caprese salad. Then came my absolute favorite pasta I’ve had in Italy: pici with Tuscan kale and a rich, cheesy pecorino fondue sauce. Simply incredible. Next was an exquisite truffle pasta made with some of our handmade pasta, topped with freshly shaved truffle. It was simply divine. We finished strong with fresh tagliatelle Carbonara, made with guanciale and the perfect balance of salty and cheesy flavors. The portions were incredibly generous, so come hungry and ready to eat! By the end, we were absolutely stuffed, incredibly happy, and already wishing we could do it all over again. Simone is not only an incredibly skilled chef, but also warm, friendly, passionate, and wonderful at explaining everything along the way. He went above and beyond to make the evening special, bringing everyone together and getting our whole family engaged in the experience. Some of the best food we’ve had in Italy—and more than just a meal, it was a beautiful experience we’ll remember for a long time. We are so happy we had the opportunity to have Simone host us. Highly, highly recommended!

Simone was very professional and communicated with us throughout to make sure every dish was exactly to our expectations. He came to our villa for a pasta-making class, which was such a fun experience for everyone. Afterwards, he cooked and served the pasta we had made, and left the kitchen spotlessly clean. We highly recommend Simone and would definitely book him again next time we’re in Tuscany!

Simone made the most amazing meal for our family celebration in Tuscany, each course was delicious and he went above and beyond in sourcing the ingredients. The appetiser included the most amazing goats cheese from a farm of his friend, and the dessert was ice cream using the recipe of the first ever ice cream (created in Florence). His pasta dish was delicious and the pork for the main dish was cooked to perfection, it was so tender. Simone also turned up on time and left the place spotless. I would highly recommend him

We hired Simone for a week of dinners during our trip to Italy, and he was incredible. He was always perfectly on time, and his cooking was absolutely fantastic—especially the pasta dishes and Bistecca! If you love hearty, delicious meat dishes, you will not be disappointed. Beyond the amazing food, Simone is incredibly relatable and warm. He even brought his son along to hang out with our kids and taught them how to make a traditional chocolate salami, which was a massive hit. Having him as our chef made our trip truly unforgettable. We highly recommend him!

Chef Simone is attentive, flexible, kind and well prepared. The food was excellent and he catered for gluten free and vegetarian restrictions.

We had the absolute pleasure of having Chef Simone cook for our family during our stay at a villa in Chianti, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment he arrived, Simone brought warmth and professionalism. He crafted a beautiful, authentic Tuscan menu using the freshest local ingredients, and every dish was both rustic and refined—truly the flavors of Chianti. Simone’s passion for food shone through as he explained each course and shared stories behind the recipes and wines. The pacing of the meal was perfect, and his attention to detail made the dinner feel special and relaxed at the same time. Beyond his incredible cooking, he was kind and personable, making us feel like we were dining with an old friend. If you’re looking to elevate your stay in Tuscany with an intimate, restaurant-quality dining experience at home, we cannot recommend Chef Simone enough. This evening was a highlight of our trip and a memory we’ll cherish for years to come.
