I emailed Personal Cuisine to see what to do and I heard back almost instantly and they took care of things right away. We arrived at the start time but the food was running a little behind and Chef Alex was very apologetic. Totally unnecessary because we were happy to go get a table and our beverages first. They were up and running just 15 minutes behind schedule. The food was terrific and worth a wait! Our party of 6 couldn't agree on which was the best (pig, brisket, or chicken). I guess when it's all good, it's hard to pick a winner. The potato salad was great, too. I have a gluten allergy and Alex knew immediately what was and wasn't safe for me. And I had plenty to eat! In addition, it was a fundraiser for a local family.

We were renting a place in Amelia Island and hired The Chef for our 34th anniversary dinner with another couple. Because there were only two couples and The Chef, it made for and intimate casual and friendly evening. Between the stories, the cooking, many songs sung, and the food, all made for an evening we shall remember fondly for the rest of our lives. We highly recommend Chef Francesco.

If you are fortunate to be able to share this experience with anyone you care about,don't miss this! Bravo Francesco and Susan!!

Last October, we hired Chef Bri Murray of Culinary Experience's for a marketing dinner, and she…read moreabsolutely knocked it out of the park. From the start, Bri's warmth and energy made the evening special--she even hiked her gear up three flights of stairs without missing a beat! By the end of the night, I'd made a new friend. Her food? Incredible. None of us could stop eating long enough to take pictures! The bourbon peach chicken was perfectly moist, and the red snapper was my personal favorite. Her baked brie with figs was so inspiring I recreated it for Thanksgiving. We had an international group at the table, and everyone went back for seconds (and thirds). Our team of 10 couldn't stop raving about Bri and the unforgettable experience she created. Next time we're in Florida, we're calling her again. If you're looking for amazing food and even better company, Chef Bri is the one to hire.

He is an excellent chef, with all the credentials, including expertise in nutrition. Chef Walter has an extensive collection of tried and true recipes and has self-published several cookbooks. He is creative and knowledgeable when it comes to food prep, pleasant to be around, eager to please and focused on the job at hand. We like him a lot. His meals have great eye appeal, contain healthy ingredients and have been delicious. Best of all, Chef Walter suggests a meal plan, does the shopping, prepares three meals that are easy for me to reheat and get on the table with minimal fuss, and leaves my kitchen spotless. I highly recommend Chef Walter Busconi. Kathleen Cort

For Valentine's Day this year, I decided to mix things up a bit and hire a private chef to cook…read moredinner for me and my wife. After some back-and-forth with several prospects, I decided to go with Chef Walter Busconi Lage or "Chef of the World" as he bills himself. He created a few different menus based on our preferred cuisines and we worked together to mix and match some of the elements of each to come to a three-course meal I knew we'd both enjoy. Arriving promptly at 4pm for a 6pm service, he was very friendly and accommodating. Chef Walter brought all of the necessary equipment to perform his craft, and right around 6pm we sat down to our first course of a goat cheese souffle. Impossibly light and rich at the same time, it was a fantastic starter. It came with some mixed greens on the side that were dressed with a flavorful vinaigrette. Our entree was surf and turf: bison ribeye with lobster, served with potatoes dauphinoise and asparagus in an orange zest hollandaise. The bison was cooked to perfection, with a delicious compound butter that helped with the natural leanness of bison. The potatoes were rich and yielding, and the asparagus was tender but still with a nice snap and the creamy hollandaise made it a joy to eat. The one miss on this course was the lobster, which was overly soft and didn't add much to the plate. For dessert we were served a cognac creme brulee with whipped topping. This was the best creme brulee I've ever eaten; the hint of cognac really set off the other flavors and it was not overly sweet. While not inexpensive, Chef Walter is a man who knows his craft. He was friendly, hospitable, punctual, and I wouldn't hesitate for a second to work with him again in the future.

If you have a event or even a date night you should book. She has a plethora of options she can whip up and he pricing is never crazy. Honestly getting hungry just writing this review. I promise you have to have the French toast.
