What to expect from your private chef experience
Your private chef experience in Carovigno begins well before the first course is served. 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 Carovigno 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 focaccia barese to start, followed by sgagliozze as a main course, with purea di fave e cicorie to finish. Local wines — perhaps a glass of Salice Salentino 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 Carovigno consistently tell us this was the highlight of their entire Italian holiday. Many of our chefs near Carovigno have worked in Michelin-starred restaurants and bring that precision to your private dining experience.
