Mateo Rossi

For more than ten years, Mateo led the kitchen of Cucina, a Michelin-starred restaurant in Florence. He still cooks with that discipline: exact seasoning, careful timing, nothing on the plate without a reason.

Now he's based in Los Angeles. Mateo cooks private multi-course lunches and dinners in homes across LA and Orange County, one table at a time. He plans the menu around your guests and preferences, shops for your meal and cooks every course in your kitchen.
