We just had Chef Dominick Costanzo prepare a wonderful three course dinner for us and our friends…read more Chef Dominick takes great pride and passion and he misses no detail. He came out to our home and went over different menu ideas, and asked us about our guests and any allergies etc and then from there , he completely took over. He preps some of the food and then comes to your home and takes over the kitchen in a very professional manner. The courses come out one at a time and while your entertaining, he is preparing it and the presentation and taste is out of this world. I highly recommend Chef Dominick, for a wonderful evening and especially if you are trying to impress your guests. Oh and did I mention that he also cleans up the kitchen and leaves everything spotless! Chef Dominick, Thank You! You are truly first class!! Dan

The booking process was seamless, they got back to me within 24 hours with a top-notch chef with great credentials. Brad was a joy to work with throughout the process. He adeptly navigated our multitude of dietary restrictions and preferences, came up with a delicious menu, and put his heart and soul into executing a delicious and memorable meal for our special day. I couldn't have been more thrilled with how it all went! And it was comparable or cheaper to what I would have paid in a nice restaurant, especially when you factor in that you're not paying a markup on alcohol. We will definitely use this service again, and I would highly recommend it for anyone looking to create a fabulous, memorable experience at home for a special occasion!

Bottom line: I love Chefstro.

One of the chefs I had used to be the exec chef at Upstairs on the Square in Harvard Square -Perfect level of service- attentive but not overbearing -Well worth the price; I don't save all that much by doing it from scratch myself and I get to save myself the time and energy Cons: -I may have overeaten and put on a few lbs :) Definitely use Chefstro! I believe they are quickly expanding to new geographies so folks outside of Boston should also check them out!

I hired Chef Mike for my elderly mom, who is both fussy about food and has food sensitivities. Mom…read morecomplained about the first 2-week batch of dinners because the veggie portions were "too small". We adjusted this, and during the next service, Mom asked to do some prep while seated (peeling, trimming) of the veggies with Chef Mike and now she is completely thrilled with all of her meals. As for me and my 3 sisters, we are relieved that she is now eating well and doing much less food prep. Of course the food shopping Chef Mike does is another wonderful bonus. This service is a life-saver, and Mike is fantastic. Be sure to communicate not only what you like to eat, but also the proportions of protein/starch/veggie. I highly recommend Chef Mike Burrill!

Best decision I've made!...Hiring Stephanie. She has cooked for us a few weeks now and everything…read moreis wonderful. Somehow she outdoes herself each week. My husband and I really enjoy her cooking and professional work in cleaning after she is done. The meals are fresh and easy to reheat for dinner to give us a couple days off from cooking. I can't believe I didn't do this sooner when my children were younger. Would highly recommend! I tell all my friends about her.

Stephanie has been cooking for our family for about 1.5 years on a monthly basis, and we are so…read morehappy with her cooking! Some time ago I made a resolution to eat more home-cooked meals, and less take-out, but that didn't magically add time to my life to actually cook (go figure). Stephanie expertly fills in that need - home-cooked meals, without us doing the cooking! We have several dietary restrictions in our family, as well as some picky eaters, and Stephanie is able to modify recipes and substitute ingredients in a way that keeps food delicious. The amount of time I save by not aimlessly surfing the web, trying to figure out substitutions, is 100% worth the cost of her service. Stephanie is very easy to work with, always responds to emails/texts, and leaves the kitchen spotless. I can never tell what she's actually used. If I don't have some piece of equipment that she needs, she brings her own. The food that Stephanie cooks is amazing, and we have several dishes that we frequently request because they are so good, and there's no way we can replicate them at home: chicken paprikash, ají de gallina (shredded chicken in a creamy garlic sauce), Brazilian fish stew. We wholeheartedly recommend Stephanie! The food is delicious, and you'll love having a fridge full of delicious goodies without doing any of the work!

We booked Ryan to cook dinner for my mom's 70th birthday. It was the first time we've ever done…read moreanything like this. Naturally, because it was something new, we were a bit anxious about the experience. We weren't sure of all the moving pieces or how easy/difficult the process would be. When Ryan left on Saturday evening, our kitchen sparkling, it was like he had never even been there, except we were stuffed with incredibly delicious food. From my first contact with Ryan to the when he left my mom's house, it was all so easy. The menu was easy to decide on (Ryan has a huge selection of dishes he can put together). Ryan was easy going and guided us through each step. Ryan brings everything he needs, pots, pans, silverware, china, and food. He got to work right away, and when it came time to sit down, we were treated to an incredible feast. Every course (we had 5 courses) was delicious and elegant. We were served by Ryan's assistant. It was really like we were in a restaurant. I was eating with my back to the kitchen, and it was hard to even know he was there. He was efficient and didn't distract from our dinner (he was also willing to chat when we pulled him into the conversation.) If you are at all anxious about the process of having a chef cook dinner in your house, you shouldn't be if you pick Ryan. I would do it again in a heartbeat. Here's what we ate (If we could do it again, we'd eliminate one of the first three course... we. were. stuffed.): Hard Cider Pumpkin Bisque (a table favorite. Fall in a bowl) Wedge Salad (the dressing was dynamite) Scallops and risotto (Another hit. This is where we were feeling rather full). Filet OR herb encrusted chicken (maybe the best filet I've had in a long while. Just cooked perfectly.) Tangerine Creme Brulee (blow torch demo included!). If you're thinking about doing something romantic for a significant other or planning a larger dinner (we had 9 people), you should hire Ryan. You won't regret it and you'll impress everyone.

The braised short rib grilled cheese appetizers were nothing short of amazing and could have been a meal in themselves ... but we continued with fantastic corn chowder with crab, arugula salad with melon and pine nuts, and stuffed cod that melted in our mouths. Add in lava cakes ... and you have a meal that is totally over the top. But the best part of the night was Chef Ryan and his assistant Leslie - who cooked, served and cleaned up. As they left you would never have known anyone was in the kitchen !!! Simply amazing. If you want the luxury of have your own professional chef for an evening - call Chef Ryan - he's the best !
