What to expect from your private chef experience
A private dining experience in Noto unfolds at your own pace, in the comfort of your chosen accommodation. Picture this: baroque palace courtyards, terraces overlooking Mount Etna, beachside villa gardens, ancient stone patios with jasmine and bougainvillea, and a private chef dedicated entirely to your group. Your experience near Noto 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 involtini di pesce spada to start, followed by pasta alla Norma as a main course, with pesce spada alla ghiotta to finish. Local wines — perhaps a glass of Grillo or Etna Rosso — complement each course. The entire service is included: grocery shopping, cooking, table setting, serving, and cleaning. You enjoy; we handle the rest. Guests in Noto consistently tell us this was the highlight of their entire Italian holiday. In Noto, we often arrange the table outside so you can dine under the stars — ask your chef about the best setup for your accommodation.
