Alessandro is a joy to be around. He makes food and the preparation of food a wonderful experience. I recently took a class and he prepared for a group of 10 that was delicious. He brings humor, a love of the food and amazing skill to the table. Anyone using his services will not be disappointed.
Alessandro prepared an amazing birthday celebration dinner for me and my family on September 5 during our stay at Le Balze di Rosennano. He prepared a four course meal including birthday cake with wines selected by his sommelier. The antipasti was an aged pecorino flan paired with a Vino Blanco; followed by Ricotta Buttons with Prawns Tartare (Priimi) paired with a Rosato; followed by Roasted Lamb, paired with a Talenti Rosso di Montalcino; concluding with the birthday torte paired with a Vin Santo. EAch dish was superb and beautifully plated. Thank you Allessandro for a memorable experience!
One of our most memorable experiences during our 2 week visit! Alessandro was so accommodating and welcoming--we were a group of 3 adults and 7 (!) children, and he did a terrific job of empowering the children and providing tasks they could accomplish. We first went on a truffle hunt with Rocky the dog, then all worked together to make pasta and chocolate cake. It was delicious and the atmosphere in Alessandro's kitchen is perfect. Grazie!
Chef Alessandro came to our villa to make us a private dinner for a birthday celebration. He was so helpful and responsive throughout the planning of the event, and was even able to make some menu adjustments for our dietary requirements. The dinner was totally delicious - four courses all made from scratch in our kitchen, the cooking was absolutely amazing! We would highly recommend this wonderful experience. Thank you Alessandro - we can't wait to see you again!
The food was amazing and was a very enjoyable evening
My husband and I spent an afternoon in Montisi first learning more about the process of making olive oil from a local oil farmer. Alessandro then customised a class for us based on cooking with the same olive oil. It was fascinating and we truly enjoyed our time with him. The time (and the wine) flew by and we left feeling like we had not only gained knowledge, and improved our pasta making skills, but also that we had made a new friend. I highly recommend this experience!
We just came back from a holiday in Tuscany where taking a cooking class was a high priority for me. After looking at several classes on the web we selected the "Tuscan Chef" as the one we thought looked best. It was a very good decision. Alessandro takes a somewhat modern approach to classic dishes of the region and taught us with patience and clearly a lot of experience. He also has a great sense of wit which made the time spent that much more enjoyable. If I had one regret it would be that we couldn't have taken more classes. Grazie Milli Chef!
Thank you all again for the amazing meals you prepared for us. Coming home each night to our Villa, with wonderful smells of foods being prepared, was awesome! Alessandro worked with me prior to our trip, preparing a 7 night - 4 course menu for each night, and it was delicious and perfect! His recommendations were excellent! It was a perfect experience having everything prepared for us each night - I would highly recommend it! Having each evening to eat, drink wine, and visit in the comfort of our 'home' for the week was everyone's favorite part of visiting Tuscany!
I want to thank you again for the amazing meals you prepared for us. It was not only the amazing taste but also how everything looked and smelled incredible. The whole experience of you being and preparing everything in the villa was just a once in a life time and we wanted to again say thank you. I will definitely recommend on the experience with any one who will visit the area . Regards and best wishes
We had the most wonderful day in Tuscany with Alessandro; first truffle hunting and then learning how to cook, Tuscan style. He was so patient and kind and professional. To watch the dogs find truffles for our lunch was so exciting and we learned so much about the world of white truffles. And our meal that we all cooked was delicious - I can hardly wait to prepare all of the courses for our friends. It was an experience not to be missed!
