Married at Gretna Green

My partner and I got married at Gretna Green and hired Giuseppe to cater for our wedding party of 15 people. He gave us total freedom to decide upon the menu and expert guidance towards our final choices for canapés and courses. He was very flexible for our guests with dietary requirements and preferences. The whole party was won over by his charm and warmth. He even allowed my 6 year-old niece into the kitchen, gave her tasters of the homemade ice cream, and let her wheel out one of the course

I met this charming man on my comunal terrace cleaning the floor and preparing tables for the guest to come for lovely sunset dinner.. we had a wee chitchat and here he comes with plates.. colorful healthy looking samples (tapas) and offering them to me to try.. Truly, it was such an amazing experience for me!!! Really delicious... Well we all love Italians especially for there's food . Thank you Giuseppe.

Everything was amazing

Giuseppe came out to the house we rented for a Christmas Eve/Birthday dinner for 12 of us. Everything about the meal was amazing, literally not one thing I would change! Each course was delicious and very generous portions (even had leftovers). Beyond the food, Giuseppe is a lovely guy and showed our group how to make agnolotti. I would recommend Giuseppe to anyone looking for a private chef.

we will be booking him again

At my oldest daughter’s big birthday Giuseppe provided the family with a beautiful meal. All of the food was prepared at our lodge. The menu he provided us with was wonderful. There wasn’t one single thing we didn’t like and I tried things that I would not normally have ordered. I would thoroughly recommend him and can’t wait for my other daughter to reach her big birthday because we will be booking him again

provided a wonderful birthday dinner

Giuseppe is a brilliant chef! He provided a wonderful birthday dinner for me and my family when we were on holiday in Aviemore. The quality of the food was fantastic! Loved all of it from the canapés including the fish ones which would not normally be my first choice to the wonderful main meal and desserts. The extra little touches were brilliant including the fresh focaccia. Giuseppe was so professional and nothing was a bother to him. Was lovely chatting about the different places he’s had

Our Guests still talk about the food after a year

I've been meaning to write a proper review for so long now - we found Giuseppe online partly thanks to the strength of his reviews. Giuseppe catered our wedding with around 22 guests, we were expecting a good meal from a private chef but I don't think we could have hoped for as good as we got. Giuseppe was quick to respond to contact prior to the event and made us feel completely at ease on the day, he and his assistant delivered course after course of incredible food, from homemade sourdough,

Giuseppe Provided an Excellent Catering Service

Giuseppe provided excellent catering to our wedding celebration. His dishes were creative, insightful and inspiring. Our reception, wedding cake, dinner and Guiseppe's breakfast next morning brought us close to our friends. We are very grateful for his service and friendship.

Giuseppe Manzoli is the Best Private Chef

Giuseppe is the best private chef I've ever met. As Americans, we don't get authentic Italian food that doesn't make us feel bloated or over-full - and Giuseppe showed us what from-scratch Italian food could really be. Healthy, delicious, enjoyable, and easy on our stomachs. He even got my husband in the kitchen making fresh raviolis in minutes. We ate our fill of Italian heaven while enjoying the countryside of Scotland and will find a way to bring him to the States so others can enjoy his incredible food, his candor, and his love for feeding the people.
