If you are visiting Tuscany you cannot miss its delicious cuisine and the hundreds of specialities produced around you, maybe just next to your villa!
Arianna & Friends arranges private chef services for your party, provided at your location, based on traditional recipes and selected fresh ingredients.

WHY A PRIVATE CHEF?

When staying in Tuscany, there can be many reasons why you may need a personal cook in your apartment or villa preparing a meal for you and cleaning up in the end:

- If you want to be sure that you taste authentic local recipes, prepared with the best fresh ingredients of the season.

- If you want advice on the exquisite wines available in your area.

- If you want to be served like at a restaurant but you prefer to stay home and drink wine without being worried about having to drive back safely;

- If you have just arrived to your villa in Tuscany, and you do not feel like going shopping, cooking or going out for dinner.

- If you just wish to relax with your family and friends and spend a nice evening, maybe by the pool, without worrying about the pots on the stove or in the oven.

- If you want to celebrate a special occasion, like your anniversary or birthday.

You can personalize your menu and ask us for advice about the best dishes of the season. Our standard meal includes a couple of appetizers, 1 or 2 primo main courses, a secondo main course and dessert. We select the best local wines to match the dishes prepared.
In case of allergies or restrictions, we can suggest alternative menus, still sticking to our philosophy of local traditions and seasonal ingredients.

Our chef does the shopping and reaches your villa 2-3 hours ahead to prepare your full meal. If your party is over 7 people, an assistant/waiter will help in the service too.

This is an email we received from Mel. We arranged a private chef service at ther accommodation facility.

Dear Ariann,

I'm so sorry I didn't get the opportunity to thank you in person on Tuesday night for creating such a wonderful evening for my husband's birthday dinner. The food was amazing and the beautifully laid table etc just added to the ambience. We all had a wonderful time. Thank you again.

I will be sure to pass on your details to any of my friends that holiday in this area.

Kind regards
Mel

This is an email we received from the Wiesendangers, who booked a series of chef service in her villa during their Tuscan stay:

Dear Arianna,

We are back in Paris, but we think about our two weeks at the villa Fagnano often. We had a wonderful vacation. And Veronica and Paolo did a wonderful job. They were not just competent and smart, they were terribly attentive and kind.

Thank you. The Wiesendangers, all 13 of them.

This is an email we received from Anu and Harry, after having our dinner service in their private villa:

Hi Massimo,
Thank you for a lovely evening. It was the best way to start our holiday. My parents were thrilled and talked about the evening many times during our stay. We will recommend you to our friends who decide to come to Tuscany! We voted for the best food we had in Italy and you won by a mile.

We were going to come and visit you at your office a few times, but the office was closed.
Thanks for all your tips. We drove around a lot and saw many beatiful places. The rain didn´t bother us in such lovely sceneries.

I will send you pictures as soon as I´ll get them on to my computer.

We would love to stay in touch.

Yours, Anu&Harri
