What to expect from your private chef experience

A private dining experience in Cisternino unfolds at your own pace, in the comfort of your chosen accommodation. Picture this: trulli courtyards, masseria terraces under centuries-old olive trees, rooftop dinners with sea views, whitewashed patios lit by lanterns, and a private chef dedicated entirely to your group. Your experience near Cisternino unfolds over 3-4 hours. The chef arrives early to set up, and you're free to watch, ask questions, or simply relax. A typical menu might include purea di fave e cicorie to start, followed by bombette pugliesi as a main course, with focaccia barese to finish. Local wines — perhaps a glass of Primitivo di Manduria or Verdeca — complement each course. The entire service is included: grocery shopping, cooking, table setting, serving, and cleaning. You enjoy; we handle the rest. Guests in Cisternino consistently tell us this was the highlight of their entire Italian holiday. The ingredients your chef brings to Cisternino are often sourced that same morning, ensuring maximum freshness and flavor.
