Tuscan dinners at your location

Bring our chefs home with you and offer your family and friends a fantastic evening with traditional Tuscan dishes and the best Tuscan wines.
We’ll organise it all for you and bring the ingredients and wines, all you have to do is provide the kitchen. We’ll get there at 5.00 p.m., prepare the menu chosen by you.
If you want you can watch us and take notes of our recipes.
For dinners for up to 8 people it will be the chef himself who serves you at table, at around 8.00 p.m., or for larger numbers, there’ll be an additional waiter. Both will tell you about the origins and key features of the dishes and wines. After diner we’ll clear up, wash the pots and pans, dishes and glasses and tidy up the kitchen.
You can choose from one of the following menus, or else suggest dishes and create your own personalised menu with us. Quality wines will be served for adults, such as Barco reale produced by Fattoria Ambra or Chianti colli senesi from the Fattoria del Cerro, while children will be served fruit juice, with a ¼ bottle per person included in the price. Those wishing to accompany the dinner with more important wines, can choose from a wider wine list.
