What to expect from your private chef experience
A private dining experience in Polignano a Mare unfolds at your own pace, in the comfort of your chosen accommodation. A private chef experience in Polignano a Mare is far more than a meal — it's an evening crafted around you. Your chef will discuss your preferences in advance, source the finest Puglia ingredients that morning, and arrive at your accommodation ready to cook. Expect trulli courtyards, masseria terraces under centuries-old olive trees, rooftop dinners with sea views, whitewashed patios lit by lanterns, a menu that could feature pasticciotto leccese, orecchiette con cime di rapa, and bombette pugliesi, accompanied by local wines such as Negroamaro. The experience typically lasts 3-4 hours, and your chef manages every detail from preparation to clean-up. Guests in Polignano a Mare consistently tell us this was the highlight of their entire Italian holiday.
