Testimonials

Chef Paola, Thank you for your partnership in creating an absolutely lovely experience for my Alpha Delta Pi Alumni/UCF Homecoming brunch. You are a beautiful person, a skilled Chef and an overall joy to be with. You made everyone feel comfortable, well cared for and special. The menu was exquisite. The quality of the food was exceptional. Your presence was magnificent. Your hard work made it possible for me to really enjoy myself and reconnect with all my best girlfriends of 30+ years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

Chef Paola is INCREDIBLE!!! I have had several meals from her and they always exceed expectations. Her foods are amazing, her skills in the kitchen are impressive, and she is an absolute delight to be around! I highly recommend Chef Paola to anyone that is looking for fantastic meal from an astounding chef

Special! It was amazing and I asked my husband to request chef Paola to come back again this year for my birthday to cook us a meal! You must try her pistachio cream pasta as well as her osso bucco- honestly everything chef Paola makes is delicious and my mouth is watering thinking about her food! Not only do I love Chef Paola's food and service but she herself is such a pleasure to meet! I surprised my mom this year during our birthday dinner (she's a week before mine) and she liked her cooking so much she asked her to come back a week later to cook for a larger family gathering. That was family style food and everything on the menu was spectacular. You must try chef Paola's food and service - it's definitely such a treat!!!

Chef Paola, dinner was AMAZING!!!

We had the best time and the food was outstanding!
Everyone said the risotto was absolute BEST they ever had. The event was for my mom's 75th Birthday Celebration and Chef Paola went out of her way to make my mom feel so special.

Thank you for doing such a wonderful job.

One of the best experiences we've ever had, Paola was a blessing to have in our home to cook. She's so kind and her food is amazing. An experience we plan to repeat often! The food was out of this world and as authentic as it gets!

Chef Paola created a decadent and guilt free Dark Chocolate KETO Cheesecake for my girlfriends birthday. Everyone who had a piece couldn't believe that it was "Keto Friendly". The dessert was the talk of the party, even days after.

My girlfriend and I just had Paula cook us dinner for her birthday. It was one of the most amazing meals I have ever eaten. And my girlfriend commented that it was the best gift anyone has ever given her.

Chef Paola was a dream come true for my whole family, all 18 of them. Recently she planned and prepared a delicious dinner for our first night at a house we rented in Reunion. From my initial contact with her about one week before our arrival, she took control of everything which I totally welcomed. She provided a traditional italian famiglia menu which required gluten-free options and made the total experience from beginning to end perfecto! My husband and son, who have a very severe gluten allergy, were so happy to be served this amazing meal that even included a wonderful gluten-free desert. Needless to say the whole family loved her, literally they wanted her to come to California so we can see her again. Chef Paola is the real deal. Skillful, delightful, talented and very Italiano. We love her and hope that this is not the last we will see of her.

Paola made a beautiful and delicious tiramisu cake with small personal tiramisu cups, for my graduation. It was incredible, I won't say how many slices I ate, but I can proudly say that I hid a few extra pieces for myself! The personal sized tiramisu cups were the perfect size, and the flavor was out of this world. Everyone was raving about the desserts, all night!

PS - Thanks for adding my school colors to the Ribbon :) the detail was appreciated!

We absolutely loved our meal. We plan on using her again on our next trip to Florida. Very professional and amazing food with Attention to detail. Thank you so much and we can't wait to Plan our next one.

From the time that George and I first sat down with chef Paola she asked great questions to get the right experience for us. We wanted our wedding rehearsal dinner to be something other than just "dinner." We looked at events like Top Golf, Dave and Busters, and then realized that they were going to be crowded, loud, and this was about two families that had never met before. Our home is very small and the people we had were very boisterous. Chef Paola and Victor worked through all of that, provided a delicious meal, and the authenticity was really appreciated by all of the guests. For a special occasion you can not spend your money more wisely and you know the quality is perfection".

Her Meals for The Mommy options is fantastic for new moms! I was so appreciative of our friends for doing it, for us. The food is amazing!

Chef! Thank you for an incredible evening. I wasn't sure what to expect with having someone in my home and my kitchen preparing a meal- now I can't wait to do it again!!! It was a five star experience from beginning to end! The food was absolutely delicious and prepared with so much love and care. The presentation was stunning. A true professional! Could not recommend more!!!

Chef Paola is a gem! She made authentic Italian cookies and cannoli for our 2018 wedding in Orlando, FL. Growing up in New England and being so close to some of the areas finest Italian neighborhoods, my now wife and I knew the importance of getting these desserts absolutely correct for our guests.

With this knowledge in hand, Chef Paola absolutely delivered. Before we contracted with her, she came to our home to let us to do a tasting of the items we wanted and was very accommodating in meeting all of our needs throughout the entire process.

On the wedding day, she delivered our order on time, and her spread was delicious. Our guests really enjoyed this extra touch and our family and friends are still talking about our authentic Italian dessert table.

We highly recommend contacting Chef Paola for your next special event or in-home dinner, as you will certainly not regret it.

I've had the pleasure to try Chef Paola's dishes on multiple occasions and each time they get better and better! I highly recommend Chef no matter the event, a small get together to a large event, you will not be disappointed. Her and her staff are truly amazing!

Chef Paola is one of a kind. Her food is amazing and you can truly taste the passion behind it. From preparation to presentation I was blown away.

Chef Paola did a wonderful job for our private anniversary dinner. She made an amazing meal and the presentation was beautiful. Best authentic Italian meal! She brought everything she needed and she cleaned everything up when she was done, leaving our home the way it was before she was there. I would HIGHLY recommend Chef Paola and most definitely would use her services again! Thank you Chef!

AMAZING!!!
AUTHENTIC!!
MEMORABLE!
Chef Paola catered to our taste and budget. Taking all the stress out of picking a restaurant to take 14 family member out to dinner, we opted for an intimate private chef experience in our home.
The food was amazing, we were able to catch up and talk (without review menus and shooting over orher people) and I didn't have a crazy alcohol tab at the end of the night.
It's beautiful when you can have an award winning chef standing next to your dining room table explaining her "mamma recipes" after you guests take the first bite and say: "Wow, what's in this and how can I make this at the home?" Knowning you and they only be able to recreate this experience with Chef Paola.
Thank you Chef.

Wonderful experience tonight! My husband surprised me for our Anniversary dinner! Chef Paola's food was outstanding! The whole experience of having her over and providing a romantic dinner was beyond any experience we have had! Thank you Paola for making our night extra special. We look forward to having you over again!

Chef Paola always knocks it out of the park with her dinners. I look forward to her meals all week long, they are truly one of a kind. She cooks authentic Italian cuisine that you rarely find nowadays. I especially love her desserts, they are truly one of a kind. Chef Paola is equally great for a romantic dinner for two or to cater a larger event. I would highly recommend her for any occasion.

Chef Paola is an amazing chef and presenter of amazing cuisine. Her attention to detail and the presentation makes the food not only taste amazing, but truly look amazing. They say you eat with your eyes, well Chef Paola must have been the one they were talking about. I always look forward to her cooking and eating as does my family. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a unique experience, a pre-packaged dinner or just a special treat for your sweet heart.

Chef Paola offers an authentic, convenient way to experience the best Italian cuisine you've ever had.

Chef Paola is an award winning chef with a truly authentic Italian flavor to her dishes. Specializing in classic Italian cuisine, she can be flexible and has created so many unique packages such as those for people on the keto diet, pre prepped meals for new moms, or a romantic dinner for two! After just a few minutes of conversation her knowledge was so apparent. She told me about the various Italian dishes and what we see in America that is unauthentic and unnatural. All of her dishes are made from scratch and I can't recommend them highly enough!

Paola is amazing! We asked her to cater our holiday party for over 100 guests and boy did she deliver! She and her staff worked all day to create the most perfect meal - appetizers, main course and desserts. EVERYTHING was sheer perfection! Our guests raved, not only about the food, but her presentation too. We will surely have her back! Thanks Paola!

Chef Paola and her staff did a wonderful job! The evening was absolutely perfect. I highly recommend!

We had the pleasure of having Chef come in and cook us an excellent birthday dinner for my wife. She arrived promptly on time with her assistant. The smell from their cooking was incredible - and the food tasted even better! She was very professional and the presentation was excellent. It was an elaborate multiple course meal and every single course was delicious. It was a great dinner and turned out to be an excellent birthday surprise! We would highly recommend her and will definitely be calling her again in the future. Thank you.

Chef Paola recently prepared some great dishes for my daughter's wedding. Everything was delicious and beautiful. She accommodated our short time frame and delivered a wonderful lunch! And OHHHHH, the biscotti! Thanks, Paola.

After reading Chef Paola's 5-star online reviews with a grain of salt, we took a chance. On a few days' notice, we did something we've never done before: left to a pro all the cooking for a dinner party for 8. One of our best decisions! Paola is a nice person. She responded quickly to email and texts. She is authentically Italian, as her personality and food show. She was flexible in providing and adjusting example menus to our taste preferences. Because everything was tempting, it was hard to narrow down the menu. We chose: Torre d'antipasto casanova con crostini (Appetizer tower: w/prosciutto, salame, cheese, mortadella, ham, giardiniera vegetables & crostini) Caprese lecca- lecca (Caprese lollipops: mozzarella & tomatoes) Bon-bons con polpettine (Bread bon-bons stuffed with baby meatballs) Farfalle pasta con pere, mascarpone e parmigiano (Bow-tie pasta with pears, mascarpone cream & parmigiano) Filetto di maiale ripieno con mozzarella, spinaci e pomodori secchi (Stuffed baby pork-loin with mozzarella, spinach & sundried tomatoes) Vegetali assortiti saltati in padella (Sauteed vegetable medley) Torta al cioccolato ripiena con cream-cheese (Chocolate torte with cream-cheese filling) Espresso con dolcini italiani (Espresso coffee with italian cookies) Paola and her sou-chef, Brenda, arrived a few hours before the first guests arrived. They brought all their own arsenal - pots, pans, cooking utensils, secret spices - with them. Soon the home smelled better than it ever has. The party was for neighbors, some we knew, some we didn't yet know. We ate and drank too much, laughed a lot, and spent hours talking, with no worries about cooking. There were surprises and leftovers. Dopo aver letto le recensioni online a 5 stelle di Chef Paola con un pizzico di sale, abbiamo colto l'occasione. Con pochi giorni di preavviso, abbiamo fatto qualcosa che non avevamo mai fatto prima: affidato a un professionista tutta la cucina per una cena per 8. Una delle nostre migliori decisioni! Paola è una brava persona. Ha risposto rapidamente a e-mail e testi. È autenticamente italiana, come la sua personalità e il suo spettacolo culinario. Era flessibile nel fornire e adattare i menu di esempio alle nostre preferenze di gusto. Perché tutto era allettante, era difficile restringere il menu. Abbiamo scelto: Torre d'antipasto casanova con crostini (Appetizer tower: w/prosciutto, salame, cheese, mortadella, ham, giardiniera vegetables & crostini) Caprese lecca- lecca (Caprese lollipops: mozzarella & tomatoes) Bon-bons con polpettine (Bread bon-bons stuffed with baby meatballs) Farfalle pasta con pere, mascarpone e parmigiano (Bow-tie pasta with pears, mascarpone cream & parmigiano) Filetto di maiale ripieno con mozzarella, spinaci e pomodori secchi (Stuffed baby pork-loin with mozzarella, spinach & sundried tomatoes) Vegetali assortiti saltati in padella (Sauteed vegetable medley) Torta al cioccolato ripiena con cream-cheese (Chocolate torte with cream-cheese filling) Espresso con dolcini italiani (Espresso coffee with italian cookies) Paola e la sua sou-chef, Brenda, arrivarono poche ore prima che arrivassero i primi ospiti. Hanno portato tutto il loro arsenale - pentole, padelle, utensili da cucina, spezie segrete - con loro. Ben presto la casa ha avuto un odore migliore di quanto abbia mai fatto. La festa era per i vicini, alcuni lo sapevamo, altri ancora non lo sapevamo. Mangiammo e bevemmo troppo, ridemmo molto e passammo ore a parlare, senza preoccupazioni per la cucina. C'erano sorprese e avanzi.

Chef Paola is amazing! Everything I have ordered has been delicious and enjoyed by my friends and family! Her sweet treats like her biscotti and pistachio cake are amazing!

Wow what a great dinner! Chef Paola really made our night. From the anti pasto to the delicious dessert we were impressed. First Chef Paola and her assistant Brenda "moved in" with their kitchen. She brought everything to make a 5 star dinner. This really made a great present for the wife. For a change she could relax with the family while the Chef worked wonders. Thanks again Chef Paola and Brenda!

What an incredible evening. My girlfriend and I had the most amazing dinner. From start to finish Chef Paola created a menu to die for. We honestly had never done anything like this before.

My taste buds are going crazy just thinking about it. Huge THANK YOU to the Chef Paola - absolutely delicious!

The Amici d'Italia meetup event expertly prepared by Chef Paola was the most fabulous dining event we have been to in years. The food was amazing matched by the wonderful company. There were several courses as expected in an Italian dinner but just when you thought Paola couldn't top the course you had just finished, she brought out another show stopper. We can't wait for the next opportunity to enjoy Paola's delicious cuisine again
