From fresh handmade pasta to beloved regional classics, each course tells a different story of Italian cuisine through shapes, ingredients, sauces and traditions.
Four courses. Four pastas. One delicious journey through Italy.

Dine in the chef’s home
I am a private chef who usually comes to you. This experience is hosted at my home.
Step inside and sit at my table. Dinner here is a celebration of flavors, stories and human connections. Four courses prepared with fresh local ingredients, reflecting the warmth of Italian tradition. The menu travels through Abruzzo, Tuscany and Veneto, the three regions that shaped my roots and my culinary soul.
This is not a restaurant. It is home. And at my table, every guest becomes part of the story.

Peas & Love: Vegetarian Menù
Italian cuisine was built by women who knew how to transform a handful of vegetables into something extraordinary.
This menu is a return to those origins: four vegetarian courses built on the season, on tradition, and on the search for the finest ingredients. Cheese, eggs, vegetables, herbs: real ingredients, treated with respect and reinterpreted with a contemporary eye.
Italy's oldest vegetarian cuisine. Cooked today, for you.

This is where my Italy meets your evening.
Enjoy the experience in the comfort of your own home, or join me at my home in the heart of Florence.
