I create heartfelt, technique-driven dining experiences inspired by my training in New York and Italy.

Giovana Ms.

I turn classic techniques into warm, memorable meals—made with care and precision.

I studied Culinary Arts at the Institute of Culinary Education in New York (2023–2024), where I built a strong foundation in traditional techniques and professional kitchen standards. I’ve been cooking for my family since I was 12, and this program became my first formal step into professional culinary training.

Before graduating, I completed an internship at Le Jardinier in Manhattan, where I learned fine-dining mise en place, teamwork, and what it truly takes to run a disciplined kitchen. In 2025, I continued my journey in Italy with three months at the Italian Culinary Institute, falling in love with the ingredients, the balance of flavors, and the high standards of regional Italian cuisine—skills I keep refining every day at home.

My secret in the kitchen is organization, food safety, high-quality ingredients, and good tools.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook to express myself

Cooking is how I express myself and how I show people I care. For me, cooking is art—I love creating, focusing on the details, and bringing everything together into a final result that feels personal.

I built my skills through real training and practice

I learned to cook at home with my mom and grandma, and I kept improving through my studies at the Institute of Culinary Education, my experience at Le Jardinier, and my time training in Italy.

I rely on discipline behind the scenes

I believe great meals start with strong fundamentals: organization, food safety, high-quality food, and the right tools. That structure lets me cook with confidence and consistency while keeping the experience warm and enjoyable.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are my rates for private chef services in United States?

I build every menu from scratch, so what you pay depends on the dishes, how many guests, and the kind of service you want. Most of my dinners come to around 170 USD, and I'll always work with the budget you have in mind. Send me a message and I'll put together a proposal for your event.

What kind of food do I specialize in?

I cook Italian, French and Mediterranean. I build my menus around ingredients that are in season and bought locally, because that's where the flavor is. And if anyone at your table has a dietary restriction, just tell me and I'll adjust the dishes so no one misses out.

How can you book my private chef services in United States?

To book me in United States, click the Book Now button on this page and follow the steps. You'll add your event date, guest count, and any dietary restrictions as you go. Once your request comes through, I read it myself and reply with a menu proposal and the dates I have open.

Do I provide private chef services for events or special occasions?

Yes. I regularly cook for Family reunion, Bachelor/Bachelorette and Romantic night. I handle the menu, the timing, and the setup so the meal fits the kind of event you're throwing. Send me your date and I'll check whether I'm free.

Can the menus accommodate food allergies or dietary restrictions?

Choose a menu, share your event details, and the Private Chef Manager team will help confirm the experience with the chef.
