Experience

The only Santa Barbara Private Chef with a 18 year restaurant chef pedigree in addition to 14 years as a private chef is now available to come to your kitchen for a memorable dining event.

Lock in your date

You do not need to have a guest count or menu ready until about a week prior to your dinner. You do need to reserve your date before someone else takes it

Full Service

You will have your dining table set with a restaurant-worthy setting from Mattia's large collection of beautiful plateware and more.

  • There is usually a 6-day minimum to get you sourced for your dinner.

    Do NOT delay if you find a date available and there are only a few days left to get you set up.

    Please only inquire if you are looking for an experience, not a bargain.

    You will receive exact per-person pricing - no guessing the final cost

    All menus are current and always found on the menu page.

    I only offer my own selection of menus, just like you would expect at a restaurant.

  • Reservations are first come-first served with a deposit
