THE EXPERIENCE

A private dinner should feel effortless from the first welcome to the final plate. Chef Marco and his team design the menu, source every ingredient, cook in your kitchen, provide polished service, and leave the space restored.

Private Dining, Answered

  • Every experience includes menu planning, ingredient sourcing, preparation, cooking in your home or venue, thoughtful plating or family-style presentation, and complete kitchen cleanup. Service staff, rentals, printed menus, bar service, and tablescape support can be added to create a fully hosted evening.

  • We design intimate dinners and larger seated gatherings throughout Los Angeles and Southern California. The guest count, kitchen access, service style, and venue determine the right culinary team and format; share those details in the inquiry form and we will recommend the best approach.

  • Yes. Menus can be developed around allergies, gluten-free needs, vegetarian or vegan preferences, and other dietary requirements without making those guests feel like an afterthought. Please share every restriction during planning so the kitchen and service team can prepare safely.

  • Yes. Depending on the evening, we can coordinate chefs, servers, bartenders, tabletop rentals, glassware, linens, printed menus, raw-bar service, and other event details. You receive one cohesive proposal built around the experience you want to host.

  • We review your kitchen, venue access, and menu before the event. Chef Marco brings the specialty smallwares required for service, and can arrange supplemental equipment or a mobile cooking setup when the menu or location calls for it.

  • Reach out as soon as you have a preferred date. Saturdays, holidays, and peak celebration weekends book first, but shorter-notice inquiries are always welcome when the team is available. A date is reserved once the proposal and retainer are complete.

Choose the Pace of the Evening

  • Generous shareable starters, seasonal salads, handmade pastas, roasted meats or fish, and vegetable-driven sides set across the table. Relaxed, abundant, and ideal for birthdays, holidays, rehearsal dinners, and groups that want conversation to lead.

  • Bring the kitchen into the experience with chef interaction, counter service, pasta finishing, caviar or raw-bar moments, live-fire elements, or a pizza progression. The format is customized to your home, outdoor space, and guest list.
