Private Chef Service in Ostuni: Cook at Your Accommodation

A chef cooks in your kitchen, not yours to clean after.

A private chef service in Ostuni, Cisternino, Ceglie and Fasano brings a cook to your holiday accommodation to prepare a four-course meal of regional Puglian dishes (antipasti, fresh pasta, a second course, and dessert) tailored to your preferences and any dietary requirements. You select from a base menu or request customizations. The chef handles all cooking and kitchen cleanup. The service runs about four and a half hours and works for dinner, lunch or breakfast.

The experience

What makes this different from a restaurant is the setup: a chef arrives at your holiday home, apartment or masseria and cooks the entire meal in your own kitchen while you relax. The menu centers on Puglian classics: orecchiette with tomato and meat rolls, paccheri with eggplant and stracciatella, troffiette with mushrooms and sausage, roast misto with bombette and sausage, or fish fillet cooked Mediterranean-style. Sides are baked potatoes and fresh salad. You can swap any dish for vegetarian, vegan, or gluten-free versions, or ask for something else entirely.

The four-course structure stays the same: four types of antipasti (mixed bruschetta, stuffed zucchini flowers, gratin mussels, caprese salad or similar); your choice of first course; your choice of second course with vegetables; and dessert. Crostat, yogurt mousse with marinated fruits, or cream with fruit and cake. Once the meal ends, the chef cleans and organizes the kitchen, leaving you with no dishes and no cleanup. The whole experience takes about four and a half hours, and you can book it for dinner, lunch or breakfast depending on when you want to eat.

The chef speaks English, Spanish or Italian. The service works in Ostuni itself or in the surrounding towns of Cisternino, Ceglie and Fasano, so if your accommodation is anywhere in that area, the chef will come to you.
