I simply cannot express how wonderful Antonio is, both as a person and a chef. He is an absolute professional, yet maintains a kind and genuine demeanor. He even took a moment to dote on my newborn twins. And the menu... it was incredible. Words cannot do it justice. Antonio took great care in working with me to curate the perfect selection, patiently explaining his techniques and recommending the ideal dessert pairing. Suffice it to say, we will definitely be seeing him again in the future!

Antonio was simply spectacular! As someone who had never hired a chef for an evening, I was initially anxious. However, Antonio quickly put my mind at ease by answering all my queries in a prompt and efficient manner while being helpful and professional throughout. On the evening of the dinner, the ingredients were fresh and delicious, from the oysters and burrata to the peach crostini, filet with broccolini, and tiramisu on the menu. Antonio absolutely crushed it! It was akin to dining at a five-star establishment, and our celebration went off without a hitch.

A dinner party was hosted by Antonio for a group of six, including myself. Despite several dietary restrictions, he put together an impressive menu that left us all excited. Antonio was punctual and every course was a success, we particularly enjoyed the salted honey pie with bourbon vanilla cream. On top of that, returning to a spotless kitchen after dinner was a delightful surprise. Thank you, Antonio!

Chef Antonio exemplified professionalism, leaving our kitchen immaculate from start to finish. His culinary mastery was truly remarkable, as he incorporated the finest, locally-sourced ingredients that he proudly shared with us at the dinner table. With his meticulous eye for detail, unwavering professionalism, exceptional skills, and engaging personality, he is a highly recommended hire in the North Jersey region. Our experience was truly unforgettable!
