    Incredible dining experience

    We had the pleasure of having Antonella & Ricardo as our chef and sommelier for two nights at our rented villa in Volterra, and our experience was outstanding from start to finish. Every dish was beautifully prepared, full of flavor, and clearly made with high-quality ingredients. The food was absolutely delicious and thoughtfully presented, and the wine selection was equally impressive and perfectly paired with each course.  Antonella & Ricardo are so engaging, taking the time to explain each course & wine choice, making the entire evening feel special and so memorable.

    Excellent in home dinner experience

    We had a fabulous experience having Antonella cook a 4 course meal with wine in our rented villa. We were a group of 12 friends and cyclists and the amount of food was plentiful. We were able to help plan the menu from a number of options and all courses were well presented and excellent quality. Antononella and her support were friendly and delightful but also worked with professionalism and efficiency you expect in a good restaurant. We highly recommend her services.

    An Incredible Dining Experience Tailored for Our Family!

    We traveled to Tuscany at the end of July 2025 and asked Antonella to be our chef. She came to our rented Villa, cooked, presented and cleaned up after every meal. The food was incredible but the love and joy she brought to our family has created memories that our kids and grandkids will carry forever. We had four meals, including and Italian cooking class. Everything was great and the food was wonderful. Antonella and Ricardo prepared every course better than before. Of course, we weren't sure if we would ever eat again (but we did!). We enjoyed great food and a wonderful time. And Antonella made us feel that we were guests in her kitchen. A spectacular experience. I highly recommend Antonella. You won't be disappointed!

    Incredible private dining experience

    We had an unforgettable private dinner with Chef Antonella at our villa in Tuscany to celebrate my wife’s 30th birthday, and it was nothing short of perfect. From the very beginning, Antonella was incredibly professional, warm, and attentive, helping us plan a beautiful evening tailored to the occasion. She created an entirely vegan menu, and every dish was absolutely delicious , full of flavour, beautifully presented, and made with clear passion for Italian cuisine. Even the non-vegans at the table were blown away by how tasty and satisfying the meal was. Antonella brought everything she needed, took over our kitchen with such ease, and created a fine dining experience that felt both luxurious and deeply personal. Her calm and friendly presence allowed us to fully relax and enjoy the moment..we didn’t have to lift a finger! It was the perfect way to mark a special occasion, and a highlight of our entire trip to Italy. If you’re looking for a private chef in Tuscany, especially for incredible vegan food, we couldn’t recommend Antonella more. Thank you for such a memorable evening and making my wife’s 30th birthday so amazing.

    Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Florence.

    How much does Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany cost?

    +

    Prices start at $178 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Florence usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany take?

    +

    Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Florence is not rushed.

    Is Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Florence, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany?

    +

    Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Florence can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Florence and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Private Italian Chef service in Tuscany start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Florence within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Florence?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Florence experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The Best tour in Florence: Renaissance & Medici Tales - guided by a STORYTELLER, Florence Pizza or Pasta Class & Gelato Making at a Tuscan Farm, Small group Tuscan Wineries, Olive Oil & Gourmet Lunch or Dinner. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Florence?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Florence?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
