Chef Greg delivered an absolutely phenomenal dining experience that showcased both his culinary expertise and passion for creating unforgettable meals. Each dish was thoughtfully crafted, bursting with flavor, and beautifully presented. The Shrimp Scampi was a perfect start – the balance of white wine, garlic, lemon, and butter created a sauce so velvety and flavorful, it was impossible to resist sopping up every drop with the crusty bread. The Linguine Carbonara was indulgent yet perfectly balanced, with the richness of pancetta, cream, and Parmesan complemented by the light, silky texture of the fresh egg. The Chicken Pizzaiola was a standout dish, blending the tanginess of tomatoes, capers, and black olives with tender, sautéed chicken breast to create a bold and satisfying entrée. Finally, the Classic Zabaglione was the perfect ending to the meal. Light, airy, and elegantly sweet, it paired beautifully with the fresh berries and biscotti, leaving us on a high note. Chef Greg’s attention to detail and mastery of Italian flavors made this meal nothing short of spectacular. Highly recommend for anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience. Bravo!

Chef Greg was awesome! The menu was delicious and he even made a couple additional items that were mouth watering! The Diablo shrimp and turkey bolognese for me! Plus he cleaned my kitchen better than I do! 11/10 would recommend :)

Chef Greg whipped up an unforgettable Father's Day feast for my husband and me, leaving us happily stuffed with delicious food and a fridge full of leftovers. He even cleaned up before he left and shared the recipes so we can try (and likely fail) to recreate the magic. Highly recommend for a fun and tasty experience!
