Indicative examples
As a guide: an intimate dinner for few guests with a tasting menu sits in the upper part of the range, given the chef-to-cover ratio; a villa dinner for a larger group moves toward EUR 90 to 130 per person. Events with more courses, fine wines and floor service rise accordingly. Every proposal remains bespoke.
What is included in the price
When we give you a figure, it covers everything the evening needs to work: the shopping and the ingredients chosen for your menu, the work of the chef cooking live at your home, the service at the table and the cleaning up at the end.
On request we add dining-room service, wine pairing, the table setting. What we never ask of you is a hidden cost: the quote you read is what you pay, and we build it together before confirming.
