Italian-trained private chef. Produce is the protagonist.
100% vegan kitchen
I grew up cooking in my grandmother's kitchen outside Bologna and spent a decade in restaurant kitchens before going fully plant-based. Now I cook seasonal Italian-ish dinners in people's homes — no animal products, no compromises, and no lecture. I bring my own knives, boards, and pantry; you keep the leftovers.

Nov 2026 · Chef's table for two to eight
Worth every penny. Luca brought his own boards and pantry, cooked a five-course dinner in our tiny kitchen, and explained each plate without a hint of smugness. Our skeptical friend asked for the recipe. Twice.
Luca's reply
The skeptical friend is my favorite review. Thank you, Sam.

Luca turned our small kitchen into the best restaurant in Brooklyn. The menu was entirely plants — smoked beet carpaccio, a mushroom ragù that converted my brother-in-law — and he labeled every container before he left. The kitchen was cleaner than we found it. We've already booked him again.
Luca's reply
Thank you, Maya. The lemon olive-oil cake was a team effort — and tell your brother-in-law I'll keep the ragù recipe ready.
