Carlo was INCREDIBLE. This was the final night of our trip, and we wanted to be able to experience time together in our AirBnb. I stumbled across this experience, and I am SO glad I did!!! It was the perfect ending to our trip. Carlo made us an amazing 4-course meal that was filling and delicious. He was also so kind and attentive. This was a treat, and well worth the value. I highly recommend. Our favorite thing we did in Rome!

The dinner Carlo made for us was one of our favorite meals in Rome! We thoroughly enjoyed all four courses and he even modified the tiramisu for my daughter (used milk versus espresso) without us asking, very thoughtful and considerate. We had a limited kitchen at our Airbnb and Carlo made the best of it. Highly recommend!
Carlo was an incredible chef! We thoroughly enjoyed our meal! He took care of everything. He came to our AirBnB with everything he needed and made a meal for 7 of us. It was a 4 course authentic Italian meal. It was one of the best meals we had in Italy during the 10 days we were here. We highly recommend Carlo and this experience. He speaks limited English, but a translate app allowed us to converse with him and have a truly memorable night.
Such an amazing chef. Fresh ingredients
Carlo was amazing! This was by far one of the best meals we had in Rome and right in our Airbnb! I highly recommend him.
Carlos came to our villa and served an awesome 4 course meal we will never forget. This was one of the highlights of our Rome vacation.
Excellent food and the chef was very friendly. He was also very helpful and gave us food options for a toddler
Carlo was amazing! He prepared a four course meal for us, it was delicious. He left the kitchen cleaned and in order. He left us a gift, a book he published. Can’t wait to read it.
This private homemade meal with our chef was the highlight of our trip. Every dish was thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and packed with flavor. The chef was warm, welcoming, and shared great stories behind the food. It was comfortable, personal, and delicious. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience authentic cuisine in a more intimate setting.
A perfect evening thanks to an extraordinary chef. Punctual, friendly and super organized. Each dish was a small masterpiece, cared for in the smallest details and full of flavor. Very fresh ingredients, original combinations and an impeccable service that made us feel like we were at a restaurant but with the warmth of home. Five well-deserved stars, I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to treat themselves to a special experience in Rome!
Carlo was absolute perfection. If you are looking for a night away from the hustle and bustle where you can quietly have dinner with family and friends, look no further than Carlo. 4 course meal that was amazing!! Thanks Carlo!!!!!
Wonderful! Food was amazing. There were seven of us, including five college kids. My wife was able to visit, with Carlos in the background doing EVERYTHING. My kids loved having their mom enjoy dinner and be part of the conversation! I don’t write reviews, but felt I needed to do this one. One kid was a vegetarian, and Carlos made great accommodations. Lifelong memory for Rome! The Carbonara and beef with sage, was so good!
Carlo was great! The food was amazing and he helped us out when the power kept going out in our Airbnb. Beyond great! I recommend him
Chef Carlo came to our Airbnb flat and prepared a fantastic meal, and graciously let the 4 kids in our group help him to prepare the various dishes. Despite limited English (thought better than our Italian to be sure) he was able to communicate with the kids and had them super engaged. Started with bruschetta, then onto pasta carbonara, then saltimbocca, and finally a tiramisu for desert. We were a little leery to serve our kiddos veal, so he agreed ahead of time to make the saltimbocca with chicken, and I also had asked him to bring along some traditional Italian soft drinks for the kids (limonata, oranciata, etc.) and a few bottles of wine to pair for an extra fee. It was a really fun night for all of us, a lovely little break from eating out every meal while on our holiday, giving us a chance to enjoy ourselves together at our flat while Carlo made everything and also made a huge dent on the clean-up! The kids said it was the best chicken they’d ever had, and there was not even a crumb left of the dessert, despite us all being stuffed by the end of the meal. We all had a great evening with Carlo - so much fun!
What fun! After a busy day of sightseeing, we were treated to Carlo cooking a 4 course dinner at our Airbnb flat! Carlo was delightful and cheerfully shared techniques for the creamiest carbonara we ever had. Bravo!
Carlo is a wonderful person, culinary genius and chef! My family, very picky eaters, thoroughly enjoyed his cooking. Carlo has a great personality and his cooking was the highlight of our trip to Rome! Choosing this event was the best decision I made and my family wholeheartedly agrees!
The evening spent with Carlo was like an explosion of joy in my heart! An experience that touched the deepest strings of my soul, both emotionally and culinarily. His passion for Roman cuisine is overwhelming. The atmosphere was like a warm embrace from an old friend. We laughed, joked, and shared stories while savoring his delicious dishes. This was not just a dinner; it was an experience that filled my heart with joy and gave me unforgettable memories. Thank you so much, Carlo, you are a true treasure of Rome!
The evening spent with Carlo was an experience that touched the soul, an emotional as well as culinary journey. His ability to convey the passion for Roman cuisine enriched not only our palates but also our hearts. We felt immersed in a tradition that goes beyond food, in a story that speaks through flavors. The atmosphere created by Carlo was filled with warmth and authenticity, making every moment memorable. This was not just a dinner, but an experience that will stay with me as a treasure in Rome
Our evening transformed into a culinary journey when Chef Carlo presented his appetizer, a perfect prelude that awakened our senses. This was followed by the Carbonara, a masterpiece of balance between Pecorino and crispy guanciale, a dish that told stories of Rome with every bite. The final dessert, a heavenly Tiramisù, sealed the experience with a sweetness that still resonates in our memories. Each dish, enriched by the Chef's stories, nourished not just our bodies but also our souls, immersing us in the pulsating heart of Roman tradition. An experience to relive, a treasure to keep. Carlo, thank you so much! My children had a great time with you, next year we will return to Rome and book your experience again.
We began with an appetizer, a true delight! It tantalized our taste buds. This was followed by a first course, the 'Carbonara', masterfully prepared with the perfect balance of Pecorino Romano and crispy bacon. The flavor was authentic, rich, and absolutely delicious—a gem of Roman cuisine where the taste of the bacon perfectly blended with the Pecorino. The evening concluded with a 'Tiramisu' dessert, soft and creamy, leaving a sweet memory of this culinary experience. In addition to the exquisite dishes, Chef Carlo, despite not speaking perfect English, shared anecdotes and secrets of Roman cuisine, making the experience even richer and more personal. It was a unique opportunity to immerse ourselves in Roman culture through its authentic flavors, all within the comfortable environment of our B&B. I highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to taste the best of Roman cuisine without having to leave home.
I am speechless when I think about the extraordinary experience we had with Carlo. It was much more than a simple meal, it was an emotional journey through Roman flavors and culinary traditions, an experience that touched our hearts and souls. Apparently, he was a little shy, but he opened up, and I found this very beautiful. Chef Carlo's passion for food and Rome is palpable, it's as if every ingredient had a story to tell and he knew how to make it shine. Carlo didn't just cook for us, he shared his culture, his history, and his passion with us. His stories made each dish even more special because we could understand the context and love he put into each creation.
His passion for food and his talent shine through in every dish he prepared for us. His creativity and attention to detail turned each meal into a gastronomic work of art. He transformed our kitchen into a magical space where culinary wonders unfolded. His skills and knowledge of local flavors made each dish a burst of taste. His courtesy and professionalism made the entire experience even more special. We were able to savor some of the most delightful treats in Rome without worrying about reservations or dining out. It was a luxury that allowed us to relax and fully enjoy our vacation. I can't recommend Chef Carlo enough to anyone seeking an extraordinary culinary experience in Rome.
During our recent vacation in Rome, we had the pleasure of experiencing a magical moment, thanks to the extraordinary talent of Chef Carlo who came to cook directly in our accommodation. This experience was not just a meal, but an emotional journey into the rich Italian culinary culture. With his skill and passion, he transformed simple ingredients into amazing dishes that told stories of tradition and love for food. Each dish served was a masterpiece, a perfect balance of flavors, colors, and aromas that awakened the senses
Carlo is a lovely soul! Dinner was exceptional classic Roman fare and it was wonderful to stay in and enjoy the terrace of the home in which we spent the week. Highly recommend!
I have celiac and couldn’t find a pasta making class like everyone else in Italy. I was on the hunt for several weeks for something special when I stumbled upon Carlo. His first language is of course Italian, but with the help of Google translate nothing was lost in conversation. He had zero issues making amazing dinner for the 5 of us. Carlo is an absolute hidden gem on viator. I can’t say enough great things about this experience and Carlo.
My trip to Rome was a culinary adventure like no other thanks to one private chef. They transformed our accommodation into a gourmet paradise with their unparalleled skill and creativity. Each dish served was a masterpiece demonstrating the chef's exceptional talent and attention to detail. It was an unforgettable dining experience
My recent vacation in Rome took an extraordinary turn with a truly unique experience—an intimate soirée with Chef Carlo. From the moment they arrived, their passion for the culinary arts was evident. With skillful precision and unwavering dedication, they transformed our accommodation into a gourmet haven. As the chef worked their magic in the kitchen, a symphony of tantalizing aromas filled the air. Each dish they presented was a masterpiece, expertly crafted with meticulous attention to detail. The flavors harmonized flawlessly, leaving us in a state of sheer culinary bliss.
My vacation in Rome was made unforgettable by the exciting experience of Carlo. From the very beginning, the chef showcased an infectious passion for the culinary arts. Their creations were a symphony of flavors, offering a unique sensory experience. But what made it even more special was their captivating presence and fascinating stories. It was a moment of sharing and joy that we will carry in our hearts forever.
Carlo made this experience extremely memorable. He was friendly, polite and professional. The food he made was to die for. Instead of a private chef it felt like we had a family member cooking in our kitchen. I would absolutely recommend this experience to anyone who wants to eat great food with a great chef.
Chef and assistant were cherry friendly. The food was simple and delicious. Dessert was excellent. Thanks
The most memorable part about this trip was being able to be have an authentic Roman dinner prepared by a wonderful chef. He was very accommodating and professional. He taught my friends and I the different courses and the items used to prepare the meal. He was also very informative on which wine would pair best with each meal. I highly recommend that you book the Private Chef the first night in Rome. It will teach you how the Italians enjoy their meals 1 course at a time. BOOK IT NOW!!
Carlo organized to me a perfect dinner for my party with my friends, everything was delicious, he knows how to cook in autentic italian way!
My family and I visited Rome for the holidays and needed a Chef. I booked Carlo for a beautiful evening and to do something really special with my family. I was at a loss for words. His dishes were great! We had great fun. My family liked his food. I recommend it to anyone visiting Rome.
What an amazing experience ! He was very positive, and generous. First time for me, but I'll be back !! My diet is vegan, he created food by adapting to my needs. He made some pasta that was flavorful and refreshing. It was a pleasure to experience this. Thank You !!!
We had a wonderful evening with Chef Carlo. He created a menu to meet our vegan diet and allowed us to watch carefully and learn the recipes and techniques while he worked away in our kitchen. We had him join us at our table for the meal and learned he is a photographer and tailor in addition to a chef. He is personable and charming and so funny he could be a stand-up comedian. This was one of our best experiences in Italy.
Chef Carlo and assistant were amazing. Heaps of food and fun people. Able to accomodate to our needs
We were having a 50th birthday dinner for my fiancee, with family, 6 people in total. Chef Carlo is a very nice man, and cooked a wonderful 4 course meal in the home we had rented. I would recommend him to anyone.
Chef Carlo is the man! We booked Chef Carlo for the day we arrived in Italy. I was nervous that everyone would be tired, and the evening would be a bust. I could not have been more wrong! Carlo and his assistant arrived and immediately went to work. We have a lovely evening with an appetizer, pasta and a meat course followed by the absolute best tiramisu that I have ever had. Carlo even accommodated the one pescatarian in our group with ease! He is so charming, and his cooking is outstanding. At my request, Chef Carlo even brought along some wine for us to have with dinner. We have an absolute fabulous time in Rome and Chef Carlo was a highlight. 100% recommend!
Our meal was outstanding. We all thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. I highly recommend this. Our chef was very friendly and took very good care of us for the entire meal.
Carlo made this an incredible experience. He was able to whip up a 4 course meal in the tiny kitchen of our Airbnb apartment. The food was heavenly. Each course was better than the last and it concluded with a tasty tiramisu. I highly recommend this experience!
We had an incredibly wonderful meal. Carlos food was some of the finest we had for our month long holiday in the Mediterranean. His pasta carbonara was excellent. His tiramisu was the perfect way to end our dinner. I informed him that my daughter is lactose free and Carlos made her a special lactose free tiramisu that she enjoyed every bite of. I, my wife, and our three kids would each give Carlos five stars and would recommend dinner with him. Enjoying a home cooked dinner vs going out was just the best way to end the day. We enjoyed our conversation just as much.
I with some of my best friends having a trip to Rome but we were a little worried about the taste of meals there but we all were amazed by the taste of Roman meals dished out for me and my friends by the best chef of Rome, Carlo a fabulous one. It’s not only the taste of food but his friendly gestures as well. First time in my life I saw the best chef in the world in front of us serving us. Extremely professional service by Carlo with all the traditional cuisines. His services including cooking food and great gestures were unforgettable. He’s highly recommended for those who plan to visit Rome and love to have delicious food varieties. It’s a magnificent experience because of having such an experienced and well-mannered chef.
Carlo will make you a delicious meal for your taste buds. It was an Italian-style meal consisting of Appetizer, Carbonara, Roman Saltimbocca, and Tiramisu. It was delicious! His service is also very personal. Before the actual food prep, he took his time to make me feel very comfortable by explaining what he was making so I would know all of the ingredients that were going into it
It was such a beautiful and amazing experience. Carlos was so great and the dishes he made were so delicious. I highly recommend doing this experience.
Very professional service with delicious food. The chef's cooking was exemplary, I couldn't have asked for a better meal if I tried. Being my first time in Rome, I was keen to try some authentic Italian cuisine, and Carlo did not disappoint. Would highly recommend if you're in need of a personal chef, or just want a good tasty meal. 10/10
What they say about Italian food and Italian grandma’s is so true!! My family and I were visiting Italy from the US and hired Carlo to give us a tour and help us find the most attractive tourist attractions! During that tour he offered us a home cooked meal with a private chef and offered us a great deal, that was too good to turn down as kind of a bundle offer since we already purchased his tour! He catered us to homemade Gnocchi featuring his family recipe and even made a light pasta dish on the side for my daughter! Great experience all around and it made for such a great entire day!
Τhe food was great the whole family loved it . We ate the best pasta we have ever had. We highly recommend him .Carlo took care of the whole family and even cooked food for the baby of the family and helped us to enjoy the trip and rest. Ηe also made a separate meal for my father who is not allowed to eat salt and so we were all quite satisfied. We had a great time and a fantastic meal!!! :)
We had the most fabulous time!! Carlos was terrific! The food was fantastic. He worked with us to create a specific menu and we absolutely loved it!
Chef Carlo knows his way around la cucina! Although he spoke little English, but with our broken Italian, we communicated wonderfully. He is enthusiastic about his craft, and it is carried out perfectly from prep to presentation. He carefully instructed us how to prepare pasta carbonara and beef saltimboca. We had a wonderful evening with Chef Carlo! Highly recommend!
Carlo is an incredible chef and such a kind person. We had Carlo come to our Airbnb on our first night in Rome, as we knew we’d be tired from the flight, but wanted a great meal. We asked if he could bring wine as well, and he picked great selections. We’re traveling with our two teenage daughters and one is a very picky eater. Carlo did a great job customizing her courses, which she loved, especially the carbonara. We highly recommend Carlo. Such a great experience and great way to start our trip in Rome.
