Private Chef Joey Los Angeles, CA, United States

A Private Chef for Every Event

My approach to Italian cuisine is rooted in three fundamentals: the timeless wisdom of the nonnas, meticulously sourced ingredients, and the marriage of old-world craft with contemporary innovation. I bring this philosophy to your home, transforming seasonal ingredients into extraordinary experiences through passion, creativity and skill. Whether I'm crafting an extravagant celebration feast, orchestrating a festive holiday cocktail party or recreating that perfect dish from your Tuscan honeymoon, every menu is inspired by the abundance and warmth of Italian hospitality - the generous spirit where more is always better, where food is love made visible, and the real feast is the laughter and connection shared around the table.

I started out as a passionate home cook, catering small gatherings for friends and family simply because I loved it. After losing my job during the Great Recession, I took a leap of faith and enrolled at Le Cordon Bleu to pursue a professional culinary path. While in school, I launched a small meal prep service, which quickly evolved into hosting intimate dinner parties and private events for clients around Los Angeles. After graduating, I accepted an executive chef role at a catering company, which gave me the structure and scale to refine my event execution skills. A year later, I branched out on my own and I've never looked back. Over the past decade, I’ve grown my private chef business to serve over 300 clients across Los Angeles, ranging from small, multi-course dinners to weddings and large scale celebrations for 250+ guests. My work now blends refined Italian technique, seasonal California ingredients, and a restaurant level attention to detail, all tailored to the intimacy of private homes and one of kind events.
