Chef Greg provided an outstanding experience for my girlfriend and me. We started off with a course of mussels, which were exquisitely spicy, followed by some zesty and pleasantly textured shrimp scampi, and finally a savory chicken breast fiorentina style. Aside from the food, Chef Greg is a warm person to be around, entertained us with interesting conversations, and made the evening a very much relaxing one. We ended up satisfied with the explosion of flavors and the meal size. Lovely experience.

We (my boyfriend as well) met Greg and from the start a very friendly man. It took him very little time to get set up and start the meal. He interluded during his cooking time about some fascinating stories that made for a very entertaining evening. He started us off with some mussles, level of spice and flavor was to die for. Since we didn't ask for dessert, he gave us a shrimp scampi alternative. The taste was simply amazing. It was zesty, crunchy, and buttery at the same time. It was followed by a chicken fiorentina, which had a similar sauce as the scampi but with the addition of the prosciutto and the fontana cheese. A flavor profile that was so amazingly confusing that left us wondering which dish was better, and mind you that all of the dishes were top notch. To end the course, we had some fruit and mozzarella. Very delightful way to wind down the palate. Chef Greg made a simple experience remarkable.

What a great night with Chef Greg! My only regret is that I didn't have two mouths. The food was so delicious. Thank you Chef for a memorable and wonderful evening.

Chef Greg was amazing! Not only was he super friendly and punctual, but his 4-course refined seasonal Italian meal was to die for. I have never done this before, and now that I have, it won't be the last. It was amazing watching him cook and in my own kitchen without me having to lift a finger. All the meals came out on time, were beautifully plated and tasted superb. Best part, he did all the cleanup afterwards and even gave our new puppy some attention so that we can enjoy his birthday dinner.

Chef Greg surpassed our expectations! He is very knowledgeable, personable, and makes delicious food. We had wanted more of a cooking lesson, but I accidentally booked a private chef experience. We chatted with him quite a bit before the event to communicate our hope to have it be interactive and educational and I could tell he put a lot of thought into modifying the menu and experience to meet and surpass our expectations. I learned a lot from him, ate a ton of delicious food, and would absolutely do something like this again.

Chef Greg is friendly, knowledgable, organized,clean and efficient. We learned how to make the Five Mother Sauces and he prepared three main courses to demonstrate how they can be used - to delicious effect! He cleaned up the kitchen as we worked so our small workspace never became cluttered. The food was delicious and we had several meals of leftovers, making the experience an incredible value! I look forward to our next class with Chef Greg!

We asked Greg to teach us (2 couples) as a Valentine's day dinner treat and had a blast. Greg was professional, personable and enjoyed teaching. We learned about and made New England style clam chowder, chicken marsala, peppercorn steak, and bananas foster. Each step used fresh, quality ingredients. We were impressed with the restaurant quality dishes prepared so personally and the sprinkling of culinary history in between.

We hired Chef Greg to prepare a four-course Italian meal at home to celebrate our wedding anniversary, and it was a fantastic experience. He arrived on time, brought everything needed, and the food was absolutely delicious. The experience is very flexible—you can focus on learning cooking techniques or simply enjoy the evening and great conversation. We chose the latter, and it made for a relaxed, memorable night. Highly recommended.

Chef Greg was amazing, a man of many talents we learned this evening. The whole experience was way beyond our expectations. The booking process was easy, there were plenty of dates available, and Chef Greg was fabulous. He was very professional, reaching out before the event to make sure that we were all on the same page, arrived early, and his food was delicious. He was very patient, with our teenagers showing them every step of the process and techniques. We will definitely do this again.
