Privato In-Home Private Chef Services

Chef Michael and the Privato team donated the dinner to a dog rescue to auction off. I won that auction and celebrated my anniversary with my husband with this amazing dinner. We highly recommend this service and have nothing but good things to say about the delicious food and amazing service.

Michael was absolutely amazing. We hired him for dinner one night while we were in Arizona. First, the flexibility and patience with creating a menu prior to the date was very pleasing. He arrived early and all the ingredients were extremely fresh. Definitely high quality ingredients. He was super friendly and personable. It felt like a friend was cooking for us. He let a couple of us season and try the food as he cooked. Everything he made had so much flavor and tasted great. Can't wait to go back to Arizona and have him cook again. 10/10! Thank you Michael for taking good care of us!

What an experience, I don't know where to start. We have had Chef Michael over twice now and it has been nothing short of amazing!! So courteous of your space, friendly, accommodating and just a fun person! He has always gone along with the flow and I can't thank him and his team enough! I can't wait until next time!

Our kids gave us a gift certificate for the Privato-In-Home experience. We had never heard of Privato, so weren't sure what to expect. It was FABULOUS! We had a dinner for 10 and it was all beyond our expectations. From the charcuterie board, to the finale -- a delicious chocolate tart -- Chef Michael did beautiful presentations and described in detail what was being served.And when he left, the kitchen was cleaner than he found it! From scheduling to menu planning, Nicole was easy to work with -- and she did a great job of reconfirming everything the week of.I would highly recommend this experience for anyone wanting to host at home without all the stress!

Loved having Steven cook for us! Not only is he an amazing chef, but he even cleans the dishes, LOL! Had such a great time.

Chef Michael was amazing! Our menu consisted of crab cake, pistachio & goat cheese salad, chilean sea bass, and molten lava cake. The process was very easy to work with the chef to customize (very accommodating of dietary restrictions). The chef was very personable. The presentation was beautiful and most importantly, the food was delicious. The chef also cleaned up when he was finished. I highly recommend the experience!

Not sure where to even begin! I wanted to do something special for my boyfriends 30th and found Privato while I was searching online. Since the reviews were great I figured this was the perfect option (there were many private chefs to choose from) but I am so happy I went with chef Michael! Booking everything so was seamless, and his wife was so sweet and responsive setting up the whole thing. The dinner was absolutely amazing, and so was the company. Me and my boyfriend honestly felt like we were just hanging out with one of our close friends, and talked with chef Michael for hours while he cooked for us. The food was incredible, he truly has such a talent. Also the amount of leftovers we had was such a treat the following day. We will absolutely be hiring Michael in the future and will recommend him to all our family and friends. Thank you for such a memorable night!!!

Chef Michael created a fantastic meal for our boisterous group of college buddies celebrating 30+ years of friendship, golf, and shenanigans. The meal was delicious, service was impeccable, and the process to book and coordinate was really easy. Kim also provided great service for our 4 course meal for 10 very picky eaters. We enjoyed crab cakes, steakhouse wedge salad, beef tenderloin & shrimp, and vanilla bread pudding. Each dish used super high quality ingredients, was very flavorful, and Chef's unassuming and approachable attitude made the whole night really comfortable. Kim's service did the same. I would highly recommend Chef Michael and the team. Truly great meal, fantastic service, and the comfort of your own private location. Top Notch!

Awesome team from start to finish. Nicole helped with planning the right menu, and on the day of the even Chef Steven and team were professional, courteous, engaging and fun. All that with AWESOME FOOD!

Chef Steven came to our home to cook dinner for our family to celebrate our wedding anniversary. Despite scheduling only a few days in advance and throwing a few curve balls his way (a mix of vegetarians and meat eaters and one person who is allergic to dairy), Chef Steven knocked it out of the park. We had both meat and veggie options and a dairy-free dessert that was so tasty. The evening went off without a hitch - definitely something we'll do again!
