Local dishes from Sanremo's culinary heritage, prepared at your home

Sanremo is a destination rooted in Liguria's culinary traditions. The local Ligurian seafood and herb-driven coastal cuisine is defined by ingredients that can only be fully appreciated here: Ligurian basil for pesto, prescinsêua cheese, and anchovies from Monterosso. Liguria's steep terraced hillsides, carved over centuries, produce the world's most aromatic basil and delicate Taggiasca olives. The tiny fishing villages yield anchovies salt-cured by hand, while the terraces of Cinque Terre produce a rare dessert wine. Your private chef will source these directly from trusted local suppliers, transforming your accommodation into a stage for dishes like trofie al pesto genovese, farinata di ceci, and corzetti — each one a story of this land told through flavor.

What to expect from your private chef experience

What sets a private chef in Sanremo apart is the deeply personal nature of every detail. Picture this: colorful seaside terraces above the Mediterranean, hidden cove gardens, panoramic clifftop villas, harbor-side tables watching fishing boats return, and a private chef dedicated entirely to your group. Your experience near Sanremo 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 brandacujun to start, followed by cappon magro as a main course, with farinata di ceci to finish. Local wines — perhaps a glass of Pigato or Rossese di Dolceacqua — complement each course. The entire service is included: grocery shopping, cooking, table setting, serving, and cleaning. You enjoy; we handle the rest. This is what makes a private chef in Sanremo so special — it's not just dinner, it's a window into the soul of Liguria.

Voices from Sanremo's dining tables

★ 4.0/5

"The whole evening was seamless. The chef arrived precisely on time, set a beautiful table we hadn't expected, cooked without any fuss or noise, served courses with the perfect timing, and then — here's the amazing part — left the kitchen cleaner than he found it. The meal itself was incredible. The total package was even better."

★ 5.0/5

"The quality of the ingredients was what set this apart. The tomatoes tasted like actual tomatoes — sweet, acidic, bursting with flavor. The olive oil was so good I wanted to drink it. The buffalo mozzarella was still warm. When ingredients are this perfect, the chef wisely kept things simple. That caprese was the best thing I ate in two weeks."

Magnus K.

★ 4.5/5

"The chef prepared a local feast that transported us to southern Italy. Orecchiette with turnip tops, burrata served on warm focaccia, octopus stewed with potatoes and tomatoes, and pasticciotto for dessert. Every dish was sunshine on a plate. His pride in his region's cuisine was infectious and made us add Puglia to our must-visit list."
