    What a wonderful experience! Chef Jose and his team did an amazing job! Food was absolutely delicious! Made our last evening in Puerto Rico memorable!

    If you are looking for the best personal chef in PR , Chef Jose is your guy! The service was impeccable . The food was absolutely delicious. He took on the task of servicing our group for a bachelorette weekend. To satisfy a group of picky eaters isn't easy but he delivered. The filet mignon on night 2 was literally the best steak I've ever had, cooked to perfection and literally melted in your mouth ! The guava bbq sauce and fresh blue cheese he needs to be bottled up and sold because I'd buy it. Just book him! You will not regret it.

    I wish I had more stars!! 26 off us rented a house in Puerto Rico with a chef. Well, were we surprised with the very most talented,kind and professional master of the kitchen. From amazing breakfasts to extravagant dinners.. paella, fajitas, chicken... authentic puerto rican food! Exemplary service..!!

    Lovely omelette station really upped the wow for our 'simple' beach brunch - and everyone's eggs were fresh & perfect!

    Jose is great to work with and helped put on a fabulous beach brunch! For my 40th birthday, 25 friends flew in to PR for the weekend ... we did a fancy dinner out the night before and I wanted to host a Sunday brunch. Initially, I looked at our hotel which wanted to charge a ridiculous room rental rate ... so I started to research if and how I could do a beach brunch - feet in the sand - given that PR's Condado Beach is public. Enter some googling and the discovery of Jose at 'In House Chef'. I reached out via the Yelp 'contact' app and he responded within 2 hours saying that he would love to learn more about my event and was available on that date. He shared a simple intake form and asked me to complete it. Done. From there we had a few emails back and forth, agreed on a price that was much more reasonable than the hotel and were on the road to this event. The thing that I was so pleased by is that Jose was willing to try something new - as he'd never done this type of beach catering before. Because it was new and we'd never met before, we agreed to meet up the Friday morning before the event and do a quick walk over to the spot on the beach that I had in mind. We scoped it out and found a way for him to access it from the public road that seemed reasonable. He agreed to be ready at 8:30AM on Sunday and I paid the rest of the agreed price. On Saturday I got a few texts where Jose wanted to offer me a few choices of glass/plasticware and setup items - which was nice. I liked having that control and engagement. Sunday morning we woke up early and peeked down from our balcony. We could see him setting up which gave me additional confidence. We arrived at 8:25AM and everything was ready to go. I really liked his approach: instead of scrambled eggs he wanted to do an omelette station - with 4 burners/pans. That worked great and no guest waited more than 3-4 minutes for an egg dish to be started. Beyond that we had bacon, breakfast potatoes, lots of fresh fruit, baked goods, mimosas and coffee. The only snafu was that my group are coffee hounds and we ran out - but his crew went and got more from a local cafe really quickly. If you are considering a unique small to mid-sized group event in PR - definitely give Jose a shout. He's very professional, engaged and willing to try creative new things. My guests had a great time and a few were even surprised to learn he was NOT part of the hotel team - that's how professionally things were set up. Thanks Jose and Damaris for making my Sunday brunch special and worry free! Best of luck for continued growth in your business:) Kirsten & John

    Without a doubt some of the best food I've ever eaten!!!! A big "Thank you" for making our trip to Puerto Rico extremely memorable. I hired Jose from In-House chef for a day while we stayed in Yabucoa, Puerto Rico. We were a party of 9 people that included children and adults from 7 - 80 yrs of age. I reached out to several catering companies in the area and Jose was the only one that got back to me. He is extremely easy to work with, he did everything that he says he would, and was great with communication. The only thing I can warn a person of is because how busy he is I did wait a day to hear back from a email when working out the details of our event. We went out for a dinner at a high end restaurant in a extremely expensive gated community in a neighboring town. The food there was great but Jose's was better!. We had a round of 4 appetizers followed by two selections for supper and desert. EVERYONE loved the food! My daughter, who absolutely hates mushrooms, had 3 of the stuffed mushroom appetizers that Jose served (they were that good!!). The crème brule was beyond explanation as to how good it was. Our kids tried to lick the bowls clean. The proportion sizes are large and nobody went away hungry......we had enough food left over for a full meal the next day! The presentation of the meal was like you were in a 5 star restaurant. Jose and his helper never stopped working during the entire time he was there. My only disappointment is that I didn't hire Jose for several more days so as we could sample more of his delicious food. On our next trip to Puerto Rico I'll be using more of Jose's services

    Salmon, paella, and shrimp.

    Jose is amazing! Without a doubt, the dinner he prepared was one of the best meals I've ever had. Everything was absolutely delicious, and Jose is so warm and welcoming, it made the whole experience that much better. I continue to crave the fried guava and cream cheese tarts! Highly recommend!

    I booked a live pasta bar through Bella Mia for a bachelorette party and it was the decision ever!…read moreFrom start to finish, they were extremely helpful and made booking/execution a breeze! The food was great & the chef was so kind - definitely would recommend!

    We chose Bella Mia to provide a private chef experience for my Bachelorette weekend with 12 girls…read moreat an Airbnb and it was the best decision! It turned a potentially stressful aspect of hosting into the highlight of our weekend celebration. More than providing a meal they crafted an effortlessly joyful experience. Their proactive approach and meticulous organization were evident from the outset. They provided menu planning, and had the foresight to bring all necessary provisions, from the food itself to serving plates and even the right tools. Their thoughtful inquiry about table settings, recognizing common limitations of airbnb rentals, was a small but significant detail that spoke volumes about their commitment to a seamless experience. This demonstrated level of professionalism instilled immediate confidence that allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the celebration knowing that the culinary aspect was in capable hands. The execution of the meal was flawless. Adhering perfectly to schedule, each component - the empanadillas, the various meats and seafood, the accompanying rice, salad, and vegetables- was not only perfectly cooked but also presented with an artistry that enhanced the dinning experience. The homemade cheesecake was the crowning jewel, a beautiful and delicious end to our meal which allowed us to continue enjoying the rest of the night! We are profoundly grateful for their contribution to making our weekend so memorable!. For anyone seeking a truly stress-free and exceptional private chef/catering experience, I wholeheartedly and unreservedly recommend Bella Mia.
