Creativo sempre in movimento

Simone and Valentina exceeded our imaginations when it came to having a private chef for a night away from home in Italy. They were so polite and took the time to explain all the food. We really enjoyed the hands on interaction with them to make our appetizer. It gave us tips for the future. The food was to die for and did not even compare to other Italian food we experienced during our trip through Italy. We practically drooled over the risotto. My dad was still talking about it a week later. Thank you for making our Italy trip fantastic!

We were in Lake Como for 5 nights celebrating a friends 60th birthday and Simone & Valentia's dinner was by far our favorite ... and I'm speaking for 6 couples. Each course was delicious and beautifully presented. I wasn't sure what to expect using Take a Chef and I must say the experience was wonderful and I strongly recommend Simone & Valentia!!!!

We we're so lucky to book Simone & Valentina at an airbnb we were staying at with our family after we got married. The experience was so incredible! The food and service was unbelievable. Not only are they amazing chefs, but they both have such great personalities that they added to the evening in such a positive way. We had so much fun and it's en evening I think we will all remember for a long time. I wish we could have taken them back to London with us :) Could not recommend enough!

Valentina and Simone were awesome! They carried all the food and supplies into our villa up and down steps and across gravel! They were kind , polite and enthusiastic. They turned our first night in Italy into a special and magical dining experience. The presentation and menu was amazing. Our party of eight needed a gluten free menu and they made it all taste great! Thank you for starting our trip out so special!

Simone and Valentina were absolutely amazing. They came to host a meal at our Airbnb, the whole experience was smooth and easy. They were very engaging and professional, creating a lovely atmosphere. The food - absolutely beautiful. So wonderfully presented, very tasty and we were amazed and the portion sizes also - so much food! Thank you again Simone and Valentina, it was wonderful meeting you both.

Simone & Valentina created a fantastic experience on quite short notice. They were perfectly organized, it was easy and uncomplicated to communicate and they were catered high-quality 5-course menu for 14 people. Thank you very much - we really highly appreciated!

Simone & Valentina were a dynamic duo!! They were easy to communicate with, very accommodating to all of our needs, and flexible with and questions or requests that we had! The food was AMAZING as well as the presentation and clean up. They gave us an unforgettable experience and we would definitely use them again!

Wonderful experience! On time, polite, friendly, and provided a truly above and beyond experience. The communication before was amazing, they kept me on track to make sure everything was perfect. The timing of the meals was impeccable and the set up/clean was more than we expected. The food was delicious, and the added touches that were unexpected made it even better. We also opted for the wine pairing and would definitely recommend that as well! Thank you for a wonderful evening!!

Simone and Valentina were fantastic! They did a great job communicating with me in advance, which was very important as we were having them come to a villa we rented in Dervio that we had never seen before. They were on time and came with everything they needed to make the dinner beautifully presented. We were a family of ten, and it can be difficult to select a menu that everyone enjoys. That being said, the food was good overall. The lasagna bolognese was excellent and the highlight of the menu for most of us. For everything else, I give them a 10/10. For the food, our group gives a 8/10 rating. They were lovely and I wouldn’t hesitate to use them again!

Simone and Valentina were the perfect additions to our evening. They created an unforgettable first night in Lake Como and wowed everyone with their tasty food and delicious limoncello. This was my first time using Take a Chef and I couldn't recommend the platform or Simone and Valentina more. They were so accommodating as I tried to create a menu for a group of 10 that included multiple allergies and dietary restrictions. They were patient and made it happen. 10/10 experience - one we'll never forget!
