Who this is for

For villa managers, concierges, and travel planners

You already curate exceptional experiences for your guests. A private chef dinner is one of the most requested — and one of the hardest to get right. Most options are too generic, too transactional, or too much work to coordinate.

❋ From Heart 2 Table is different.
About Alfonso

I'm Alfonso. With over 20 years of culinary experience, I began my career in the United States mastering French technique and Italian-American cooking, then moved to Italy in 2020 - fulfilling a lifelong dream. Since then, I've worked in Michelin Guide-recognized restaurants across Italy, including Ca' Vittoria in Piemonte and San Giorgio in Genova.

Today, I cook exclusively in private settings. I believe that exceptional food shouldn't be complicated or out of reach - it's a passion from my heart, to your table.

I'm speak English, Italian, and Spanish. I handle everything from shopping to cleanup. I keep my calendar intentionally small so every dinner gets my full attention.

Fine dining without the complexity.

What a From Heart 2 Table experience looks like

What your guests get

I start by working closely with your guests to understand their tastes, preferences, and dietary needs, then build a menu that celebrates local, seasonal ingredients and the culinary heritage of Tuscany.

Every dish tells a story.

A menu crafted for them

Villa in the countryside, apartment in the city, I bring gourmet cooking to wherever your guests are staying. Delicious food can be prepared anywhere, and I'm committed to making the most of whatever kitchen I encounter.

Adaptable to any location

I cook in view, talk about what I'm making and why - the ingredients, the techniques, the Tuscan seasons. It's dining that feels personal and memorable, not like a catering service.

An experience, not just a meal

Shopping, preparation, cooking, service, and cleanup. Your guests arrive to a clean kitchen and leave to one. No coordination burden on your team.

Start to finish, handled
For groups of 2 to 14

Intimate dinners to larger celebrations. Dinners typically start around €75 per person.
