Private chef in Punta Ala
Punta Ala is made for people who arrive by boat or with the family and have no wish to go out in the evening. There is the marina, the pine wood, the villas set in the green a short walk from the beach, and a slow, private way of spending the summer. Dinner at home, here, makes more sense than a table at a restaurant.
We bring a chef to the villas and apartments of Punta Ala, and on board the boats at the marina, with the sea cooking of the Maremma and menus that work for the children too when dinner is a family affair.
You stay where you are, with your guests. We take care of the rest.
Family dinners and evenings with friends
Many of the evenings we cook in Punta Ala are family ones: parents, children, perhaps the friends from the villa next door. We prepare one menu for the adults and a simpler one for the children, so everyone is happy at the table. No one has to book, drive or be back by a certain hour.
When the evening is for adults, we raise the tone: an unhurried fish dinner, a long aperitif in the garden, a birthday that runs late without anyone thinking about the kitchen.
From the marina to the villa
Punta Ala lives between the sea and the pines, and we move through both. We cook on board the boats moored at the marina, with menus suited to the galley, and in the villas among the pines close to the beach. You choose the setting, the level stays the same.
Where we work
We work in Punta Ala, at the marina and in the villas of the pine wood, and we travel along the Grosseto Maremma coast, from Castiglione della Pescaia towards the Gulf of Follonica. On request also by boat along the coast.
How we prepare a dinner in Punta Ala
It starts with an email. You tell us how many you are, the date and the evening you have in mind, and we reply with a tailored menu. We agree on the courses, take allergies and preferences into account, the little ones' too, and set a clear quote.
On the chosen day the chef arrives at the villa with the shopping already done, cooks live and looks after the service, then clears up. Between the marina, the pine wood and the villas on the hill we move with ease, and where possible we lay the table in the garden or on a terrace over the sea.
A seafood dinner, for the family too
In Punta Ala the evenings are often with family or friends, with children moving around the table. We build the menu on that: the fish of the day for the grown-ups, simple good dishes for the little ones, homemade pasta, ice creams. In the glass the whites of the coast.
No ready-made formulas: we choose together, by the season and your tastes, because a dinner here should be a holiday for whoever usually stands at the stove too.
