Private Chef Giovanni Reviews 

Amazing experience with Chef Giovanni and his team who were so friendly and professional. The suggested menu was great including the attention to detail and modifications. Food was exquisite and the portions were extremely generous too. Would highly recommend and would not hesitate to hire again in future!

Thank you for a fantastic evening!

Absolutely outstanding. A perfect Italian-themed evening — exceptional ingredients, beautifully cooked, and the whole experience felt effortlessly relaxed. Exactly what we wanted for my wife’s 30th. Would book again in a heartbeat.

Giovanni was incredible to work for, he made me feel so at ease the first time working for him and was great fun to be around! It was also lovely to see him interacting with guests in an entertaining and kind way. And on top of that his food was exceptional!

Giovanni and his team created a beautiful experience for my parents’ anniversary. Every course was absolutely delicious and served beautifully. Thank you!

I decided to start a new adventure as a private chef, but I wasn’t sure where to begin. Having followed Giovanni for some time and greatly appreciating his work, I decided to ask him for a consultation.
His guidance was incredibly valuable in helping me take the first steps in this business and enter the world of private chefs. He supported me throughout the process, explaining even the smallest details and sharing practical advice that made everything much clearer.
Highly professional, knowledgeable, and truly supportive. I highly recommend his consultation to anyone looking to start in this field.

Really interesting to learn about how to make pasta and where it comes from. Delicious recipes and great experience for very keen 9 year old! Thanks very much

I took multiple Italian cooking classes with Giovanni over the last few months and Giovanni has been a great teacher, I learnt many cooking skills and tricks from the professionals. I feel a lot more confident and cannot wait to cook with my new skills for my family & friends! Highly recommend Giovanni to anyone who wants to learn how to be a better cook!

Had online lessons with Chef Giovanni and I could not be more satisfied.
Thanks to Giovanni I learnt a lot about cooking and elevated my skills.

Now I can show off every time we host a dinner party - and the reactions are priceless.

Giovanni was nice, funny, easy going and patient. It was fun!

Grazie Chef!

We hire private chef Giovanni for our daughter's birthday and from start to finish it was a truly memorable and enjoyable experience. The food was excellent and the service impeccable, the team worked very hard to make it a beautiful day. Giovanni also added some extra touches to make it even more special.
I would have no hesitation in hiring Giovanni again and I would definitely recommend him.

The event was exceptionally well-organized from start to finish. The schedule was clear, and the coordination between staff, and guests ran smoothly. Attention to details truly elevated the experience. Communication with the team and participants was clear and consistent, which made collaboration easy and enjoyable. Service from the kitchen was timely, and your team worked smoothly under pressure. Excellent coordination during peak hours.

We have had Giovanni teach a lesson for a 30th birthday as well as run a private catering event - both were delightful; Giovanni is a fabulous teacher and his passion for his food is obvious.

I genuinely feel so incredibly lucky to have met Giovanni. I run a cookery school in Oxford and we had a last minute booking and we needed an Italian chef to teach the class.

We spoke on the phone and everything was arranged quickly and professionally. I could tell immediately that Giovanni was going to do an amazing job and he did.

The very fact that we had never met, he had never been to our venue and that he drove all the way from London was a big ask for anyone.

I can't recommend Giovanni enough - well maybe the fact that I have asked him to come and teach with us in Oxford more regularly just shows how amazing he is.

Punctual, professional, no fuss, nothing was a problem and for anyone working in H&C this is very hard to find.

So if you are looking for a private chef he is your man.

I wanted to offer my wife something special for her 30th birthday and invited 10 friends to ours for the party. We never had a private chef and waiters helping with the catering so it was all new for us.

From the beginning to the end, Giovanni was flawless. He helped us with the menu and understood the atmosphere we wanted to create.

The experience was truly unique; one thing is sure this will not be our last time with Giovanni. He is truly talented and professional. The whole experience was just so relaxing and we could spend all the time with our guests and had to worry about nothing. Truly amazing nothing to fault and an experience you will cherish for the rest of your life!

My partner hired Giovanni as a suprise to cook for the two of us. They had liaised in advance about the menu, and he prepared a beautiful 3 course meal for us. In particular, we loved the lemon dessert, which was a nice surprise. He was charming, polite, and so clean you wouldn't even know he'd been in the kitchen. I wouldn't hesistate to reccomend him.

We decided to use a private chef for the first time due to a special occasion for 14 of our family. So happy we found Giovanni who came to our house in Hertfordshire. Excellent food and also service from his colleague Roberta. Great communication at the beginning to plan the menu with choices for the adults and some options to keep the kids happy. Giovanni and Roberta were very friendly, fun and left our kitchen spotless. Highly recommended.

Giovanni was an absolute pleasure to have round. Incredibly helpful and fun evening. Couldn't recommend him more for private hire!

40th birthday dinner for 10 ladies. He was on time, food was delicious and super filling. All the guests enjoyed it thoroughly. Would definitely recommend him and hire again 😊

This is the second time Chef Giovanni has cooked for us at home. Truthfully outstanding food but equally amazing service and company. He is not only an amazing amazing chef but just so friendly and accommodating - felt part of the family. Cannot wait to have him cook for us again.

Giovanni & his team where absolutely brilliant from start to finish from the menu to the produce used. Giovanni has a real passion for every dish he produces and all of our guests were blown away! We will definitely be using Giovanni for all events going forward.

Absolutely perfect! Giovanni is friendly, professional and amazing at what he does. From first contact he was very quick and easy to communicate with, he adapted the menu to accommodate our guests specific needs and was priced very very reasonably!
His passion for his food and his craft was obvious and it was really nice to hear where our food was sourced and the quality of the ingredients he was using. The food was beautifully presented and was delicious!
I would highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future.
Thank you Giovanni 🤗
