European Personal Chef

Wow, I am so happy we went with Chief Julio for my dads 60th dinner party, he exceeded my expectations, and I have extremely high expectations lol thank you for making this event such a memorable enjoyable care free experience. Amazing attention to detail the food was amazing and this will be a core memory for my family and I for years to come. I would recommend you book him, the experience alone was worth every penny. He is a down to earth human being and I will definitely book him for future events. Thank you for sharing your gift :)

Chef Julio was a delight. It was the first time I was able to enjoy a party and not have to worry about buying, preparing, serving, and cleaning up the food. All my guests were thrilled and commented on how great the food was. Chef Julio and his staff were professional and did not let me do anything except enjoy my party.I highly recommend European Personal Chef, excellent food and service!

I would like to express my thanks to European Personal Chef. Chef Julio Nascimento and his staff could not have provided us with a better experience than they did for our son's wedding that took place in our backyard last week. From the original contact call to inquire about his services to the actual wedding day, Chef Julio was always available to us to review, choose and plan a perfect experience. He accommodated every wish and request including the arrangement of all the party rental pieces. Chef Julio amazed us with his attention to detail in the preparing and presentation of all servings while still providing my family and guest with his charm and entertaining personality. Bottom line.........beautifully plated and extremely delicious dishes prepared and served by friendly professionals while still making us feel completely "at home and relaxed" to enjoy the great day for our family. This was our first experience with Chef Julio, and I can promise it will not be our last. Looking forward to trying some Paella in the near future

Chef Julio was AWESOME! He catered my daughters graduation and everything went perfectly! He created the menu and everything was absolutely delicious. He arrived early and kept me informed of everything while I was still at the graduation ceremony, I thought there would be a problem when the Chef text to inform me that the venue when he discovered the venue didn't have a oven to cook the salmon. But he was able to worked things and the salmon turned out excellent. Chef Julio is extremely nice and customer focused. His prices are very reasonable. It was a great experience and I will be calling on the Chef again in the future!!

The food was great, the chef rude and over priced. He even had the nerve to charge $75 additional because of "extra time" as he put it. He was in control of the cooking time and therefore the over all time of the dinner. He should consider himself lucky that he had already added an 18% gratuity to the agreed upon cost of the dinner.

chef julio shortchanged me by 29 meals. after my event, he wanted to charge overtime for his entire staff when he officially clocked out with my event coordinator on time. additionally, he took the liberty of tacking on an 18% gratuity onto his invoice, prior to delivering his services. he is overall rude and lacks business ethics.my event took place in an upscale venue (a private automotive museum), and i actually paid the museum a hefty fee because he is not on the museum's approved caterers list. i have a feeling he will remain unapproved with the museum in the future.a complaint was filed with the BBB about a month ago, of which he has refused to resolve. do your own homework; this complaint remains on public records for at least three years.

This was our second event with Julio -- my grandson's wedding at our house! Not only was the food great, but Julio and his staff are top notch great people. Everything from food to service to clean up and to them even helping us with "other" things not a part of their "job," was wonderful. Can't thank them enough!

Even though I read several negative reviews on YELP about this chef i decided to give it a try for a party I was having for 35 guests. I reached Julio by phone and he was curt and suggested that I go to his website and fill out the form. He stated that he will review it and get back to me with a proposed menu and pricing. I wanted to have a conversation with him about the event but he again reiterated that I needed to go to the website and he will get back to me.I was relucatent to proceed as he asked but did anyway and outlined what I was looking for.HE NEVER GOT BACK TO ME.I guess the negative reviews are correct. Buyer beware!!!!!

Julio was a pleasure to work with from the start. He helped plan a wonderful menu for a dinner party (20 guests.) He was very professional and prompt in getting back to me during the planning. He had prepared appetizers, two entrees and desserts. Everything he prepared was absolutely delicious! Throughout the entire evening, Julio and his staff were extremely attentive to us and our guests - anything that needed to be done, they jumped right in to make sure it was perfect. At the end of the evening, my kitchen was cleaned very well. I cannot recommend Julio highly enough!

Chef Julio drove up to our cabin in Big Bear Lake and surprised my friend for her 40th with some of the most amazing appetizers and a phenomenal dinner! From start to finish, it was a memorable experience. It just so happens, he also has a great personality! Loved watching him cook and learning from him, as he prepared the meal. Can't wait to do it again. Cheers Chef! Ted E.
