About

My name is Antonio, I'm originally from southern Italy, and I've recently relocated to Knoxville. I bring with me 24 years of experience in curating an authentic Italian atmosphere right in the comfort of your home. I specialize in hosting private dinners featuring original handmade Italian dishes, including classics such as Lasagna, Parmigiana, Pappardelle all’ Astice, Arrosto con patate, Polpette, Focaccia, Panzerotti, and more.

I offer the unique opportunity to organize a special dinner at your residence, ensuring that your guests are treated to a delightful experience. The menu spans from Italian antipasti to main courses, second courses, dessert, and a selection of amazing Italian wines. We can collaborate to tailor the menu according to your preferences and needs.

My commitment is to bring the most accurate Italian experience to you and your special guests. I will personally come to your house, preparing everything on-site to guarantee freshness and authenticity. My culinary journey began in my grandma's kitchen during my childhood, where I absorbed the art of crafting handmade Italian food.

I look forward to bringing the rich flavors and traditions of Italy to your table. Let's create an unforgettable dining experience together.

Antonio was incredible! He really has a craft for making Italian food. He was very communicative beforehand about what he could make us and he was very thoughtful with his choices and decisions. Everything was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed every part of our evening together. He used only fresh and organic ingredients which I appreciate as well. I can’t wait for him to cook for us again! Thank you so much Antonio!

Certainly! Heres a review for Chef Antonio:
We recently had the absolute pleasure of inviting Chef Antonio to our home to prepare a dinner for my husband and myself. The experience surpassed all our expectations, making for an evening we will fondly remember.
The dinner kicked off with an appetizer that was both visually appealing and incredibly flavorful. Chef Antonios skill in balancing flavors shone through, perfectly setting the stage for the main course. Then came the star of the show – the handmade pasta. It was evident in every bite that this pasta was made with both skill and passion. The texture was impeccable, and the flavors were simply divine.
A remarkable aspect of the evening was Chef Antonios choice of wine. He selected a wine that not only complemented the meal but also elevated it. His knowledge and ability to pair food with the perfect wine added an extra layer of sophistication to our dining experience.
And just when we thought it couldnt get any better, we were treated to a delectable tiramisu for dessert. It was the perfect balance of coffee and creamy mascarpone, ending our meal on the highest note possible.
Throughout the evening, Chef Antonios professionalism and passion for Italian cuisine were evident. His attention to detail, from the choice of ingredients to the presentation of each dish, made our dining experience not just a meal, but a celebration of Italian culinary excellence.
We highly recommend Chef Antonio to anyone looking to enjoy an authentic Italian dining experience in the comfort of their home. He is not just a chef but a culinary artist who turns a meal into a memorable event. Grazie, Chef Antonio, for an incredible evening of gastronomic delight!
