Hi, I’m Chef Arte

I create creative, passionate Italian experiences rooted in tradition—thoughtful, attentive, and made to become a lasting memory.

I turn Italian tradition into unforgettable moments, wherever you are

My family opened the first Locanda in 1850, and I carry that heritage into every table I set. For more than 20 years, I’ve been giving people a magical moment—a memory made of flavors, aromas, and images. I trained professionally by working in kitchens around the world, across the United States, Europe, Asia, and Oceania. From every experience I collected a small (or large) pebble, and with them I built the foundations of my technique and my creativity.

My secret in the kitchen is simplicity and respect for raw materials.

What you can expect when I cook for you

I cook to fully focus on your experience

For me, cooking means isolating myself from the outside world and dedicating myself completely to the pleasure of others.

I built my craft from family roots and my own work

I learned to cook first from my grandmother, then from my mother. The rest is all my own work—years of practice, discipline, and curiosity shaped into my personal style.

I keep my philosophy simple and honest

My guiding principle is simplicity and respect for raw materials: I let ingredients speak, I avoid unnecessary complexity, and I honor every product with care.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Italy?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 81.67 EUR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Mediterranean and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Italy?

To book me in Italy, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering and Corporate. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
