Begin with artisanal roasted garlic and rosemary focaccia followed by homemade gnocchi served with fresh basil pesto. As your main course, enjoy roasted pork tenderloin with a red wine fig reduction sauce. Then, dig into berry bruschetta with mascarpone and wild honey.

I hired a private chef experience for my friend's bachelorette party. Chef Mary Ann was very nice, flexible with a last-minute change we needed, and the food was great!

We had the pleasure of an amazing Sicilian dinner prepared by chef Mary Ann. Not only was the food incredible, but Mary Ann also made the entire evening so enjoyable. She was professional, friendly, and clearly passionate and knowledgeable about Sicilian cuisine. It was a true culinary experience, and we can't wait to do it again. Highly recommend!

We had her cook a meal for our 1st anniversary. It was very memorable and she made my wife and I feel right at home. Her scalloped potatoes is still being talked about days after. Highly recommend!
