I am Simone Del Cima, your private chef in Florence

My passion for authentic Tuscan cuisine was born in my grandmother’s kitchen, where I learned the value of simple, hearty, and genuine food.

Today I bring those roots into a refined, modern experience—always faithful to tradition. I work with ingredients from small farms, gardens, and family producers to create sustainable, unforgettable meals.

From bespoke menus to cooking classes, I offer a unique and seamless culinary experience.
