Chef Lucia d’Aloisio Mayo
A Restaurant Dinner, Without Leaving Home
Our private chef in Rome cooks for you in your apartment, villa or holiday rental. Chef Lucia d’Aloisio Mayo and the Cookinart team design a menu around your tastes, shop for fresh ingredients from Italian producers, cook in your kitchen, serve at your table and leave the kitchen in order.
From a dinner for two to a celebration with family and friends, we work in Rome and across Italy: villas in Tuscany, holiday homes on the Amalfi Coast or Lake Como, yachts along the coast. Everything is arranged in English.

Private Chef in Rome: FAQ
What is the difference between a personal chef and a private chef?
The terms are often used interchangeably. A private chef usually cooks for one household or event, in your home, while a personal chef may prepare meals for several clients. Whether you search for a personal chef in Rome or a private chef, we cook exclusively for you and your guests.
What is included?
Menu design, shopping for fresh ingredients, cooking in your kitchen, serving at the table and leaving the kitchen in order at the end.
Do you work outside Rome?
Yes. As a private chef in Italy we travel to villas in Tuscany, holiday homes on the Amalfi Coast and Lake Como, and yachts along the coast. Many villas with a private chef in Italy are simply villas where we come to cook.
Can you cater for dietary requirements?
Yes. Tell us about allergies, intolerances and preferences when you enquire, and we build the menu around them.
Do you work with villa agencies and property managers?
Yes. Agencies, property managers and concierges can contact us to arrange a private chef for their guests in Rome and across Italy.
How far in advance should we book?
As early as you can, especially in high season and for holidays. Write to us with your dates and we will confirm availability.
