Chef Diego Armando: Passionate About Culinary Art.

I am a professional chef with more than 11 years of experience in the gastronomic field. I love and live for cooking—a true lover of seafood. I cook to delight your palate; cooking represents my way of life. I studied at the Politecnico International Gastronomy School and at the SENA School. I worked in several renowned restaurants in Cartagena, including Di' Silvio Trattoria, San Nicolás, Hotel Meliá, Hotel Cristal Blue Barú, and Restaurante Mitú in Milan, Italy, among others. I was fortunate to cook for the first time with my mother, the best cook, and I gained experience working in different gourmet restaurants in Cartagena.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in Italy?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 82 EUR, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Mediterranean, Local and Seafood/Fish. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in Italy?

To book me in Italy, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Birthday, Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Friends gathering, Romantic night and Foodie adventure. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
