The Chef

A Life Devoted
to the Table

"Cooking is the most sincere form of love — when I cook for you, I give you everything I have."

Chef Antonio has spent over a decade transforming raw, exceptional ingredients into profound dining experiences across Europe, the Middle East, and East Africa. Trained in the classical European tradition yet deeply inspired by local terroir and seasonal abundance, his cuisine sits at the crossroads of heritage and innovation.

As Nairobi's premier private chef, he specialises in intimate dining experiences — from candlelit dinners for two to exclusive celebrations for discerning guests who demand nothing less than extraordinary.

Good to Know

Questions, Answered

How far in advance should I book?

We recommend at least 7 days for intimate dinners and 3–4 weeks for larger events, to allow time for consultation, menu design, and ingredient sourcing. Short-notice requests are sometimes possible — just ask.

Can you accommodate dietary requirements?

Absolutely. Every menu is built around your table — vegetarian, vegan, halal, gluten-free, allergies, and specific dislikes are all woven into the menu design from the start, never bolted on.

What do I need to provide at home?

Just a working kitchen and a table. Chef Antonio's team brings everything else — from specialist equipment to tableware if needed — and leaves your home exactly as they found it.

Is a deposit required?

A deposit confirms your date and covers ingredient sourcing, with the balance due on the day of the event. Full details are provided with your bespoke quote.

Do you travel outside Nairobi?

Yes — Chef Antonio caters across Kenya and internationally. Travel and accommodation costs for events outside Nairobi are quoted transparently in advance.
