Private chef in Capri

Restaurant-quality dining in your villa

I cook for villas in Capri town, Anacapri and above Marina Piccola, from long lunches in the lemon garden to tasting dinners facing the Faraglioni. Fish landed that morning, Campanian vegetables and herbs from the hillsides shape every menu.

The island gave the world the caprese salad, ravioli capresi filled with caciotta and marjoram, and the almond and chocolate torta caprese, and I cook them lighter, with tomatoes at their peak and buffalo mozzarella from the mainland. Lemons from the Sorrento coast, wild fennel and fresh Gulf of Naples fish go onto the embers. Falanghina, Fiano and Greco di Tufo from Campania sit naturally beside them.

I have spent a decade in Michelin-starred kitchens, as Sous Chef of R&D in the Noma group and Head Chef at Kokkeriet, and I bring that standard to every table I cook for. My story.

Questions

Private chef in Capri: good to know

How do groceries reach a villa on Capri?

Most supplies come over by ferry from Naples or Sorrento and then by porter or small electric cart, so I order ahead and plan menus around what travels well.

Can you cook for us in Anacapri as well as Capri town?

Yes. I cook anywhere on the island, and I plan timings around the road between the two.

Is travel to the island included?

Yes. Travel and accommodation are added to the quote, and I plan menus and shopping before I arrive.

Weddings

Getting married in Capri?

I cook weddings at cliff-top villas, lemon-garden terraces and seaside beach clubs, from an intimate dinner to 500 guests. See wedding catering in Capri.
