A professional Italian private chef service built on tradition, not shortcuts. Refined, classic dishes cooked with the same care you tasted in Italy, from Roman abbacchio scottadito to Sicilian sarde a beccafico, prepared in your own kitchen at home.
Martina grew up in Abruzzo, between the Gran Sasso mountains and the Adriatic coast. She is not a chef you hire once and forget. She is a real Italian home cook, bringing the food she was taught to make long before she ever set foot in Liverpool.
Most of her guests have already been to Italy. A week in the Amalfi coast, a summer in Tuscany, a trip through Rome or Sicily. They come home missing something a restaurant menu rarely gets right: the taste of a dish cooked the way an actual Italian family cooks it, not a version adapted for tourists.
That is what Martina brings into your kitchen: a professional Italian private chef service in Liverpool, built on tradition rather than shortcuts. No flight, no packing, just the Italy you fell for, cooked by someone who grew up in it, at your own table.
Raised between the Gran Sasso mountains and the Adriatic coast, Martina grew up on the same mountain-and-sea cooking she now brings to every menu — slow braised meats, brodetto di pesce, recipes passed down long before hers. DBS checked, for extra peace of mind welcoming her into your home.
