Hi, I'm Chef
Francesco Falci

I highly recommend Chef Francesco Falci; his service is unique and absolutely impeccable. From the very first moment, he proves to be a warm professional who puts incredible passion into everything he does. His way of working fully engages you, conveying his love for fine dining and attention to detail. He is an extremely flexible chef, attentive to the needs of all guests and always ready to adapt with a smile. The most extraordinary thing is the atmosphere he manages to create: he makes you feel perfectly at ease, delivering a refined and carefully crafted experience—just like sitting at a restaurant table, but with the intimacy, warmth, and comfort of your own home. The experience with Chef Francesco Falci was flawless in every respect. Thanks to his passion and tremendous dedication, the event was a perfect success. A full 5-star service that I will recommend to anyone looking for the excellence of a top restaurant combined with the warmth of a private event! Thank you again; I was truly delighted with this event.

After trying various private chefs over the years, I can say without a doubt that the experience with Francesco Falci was on a completely different level. The quality of the dishes, the attention to detail, and the care put into the presentation made for a truly spectacular evening. I was looking for the assurance of highly professional, excellent service, and Francesco exceeded every expectation. I will certainly contact him again for future events, knowing I can rely on a true culinary professional. Furthermore, impressed by his mastery, I am already planning to sign up for classes at his cooking school in the coming days to learn directly from him. Highly recommended!

Chef Francesco was the perfect in-villa chef. He was exceptionally detailed during the menu and experience planning process. Through our email and video consultations prior to the event, he ensured we felt completely confident about how the evening would unfold. The food was delicious, from the appetizers to the main course of steak and pastas, concluding with the wonderful birthday desserts. We were particularly impressed by how seamlessly Chef Francesco integrated the truffles we had hunted a few days prior into the menu. The highlight of the evening, however, was his thoughtfulness in decorating the dinner table. He went above and beyond by purchasing additional birthday decorations out of his own pocket. We are incredibly grateful for his service. For anyone looking for an exceptional in-villa dining experience, you will be in excellent hands with Chef Francesco.

can you send him to California???? I loved everything about this and him. 100% recommend. Again - send him to CA!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Michelin-starred experience in your own living room! I wanted to share my fantastic experience with Chef Francesco, who accomplished a nearly impossible feat. Despite my last-minute notice, Francesco accepted the challenge with timeless professionalism and availability. Here's why I highly recommend him: Ability to adapt: ​​Organizing a dinner at home in such a short time is not for everyone, but he didn't bat an eyelid, taking care of every detail as if we'd been planning the event for months. Food quality: Simply sublime dishes. You can taste the exquisite selection of ingredients and impeccable technique. Each course was an explosion of flavors, presented with an elegance worthy of the finest restaurants. Service: Francesco isn't just a "cook," he's a true host. Discreet, meticulous in his work, and capable of conveying his passion for cooking while explaining the dishes. He was truly brilliant: he transformed an ordinary evening into an unforgettable event, saving the day with a unique touch of class. We also tried his cooking school in San Casciano dei Bagni, a wonderful cooking class immersed in nature, making pasta and enjoying excellent drinks, followed by a beautiful dinner. Thanks also to Villa Vetrichina, the property where the cooking school is located. Thank you, Chef, see you next time for sure! We'll be in Tuscany again in October and will definitely come visit you or call you for another wonderful dinner.

Francesco is not only an incredible chef, but an amazing person. He went above and beyond to make our dinner for 12 special. His communication was outstanding. Through his warm texts, I instantly adored him. I reached out to him at the last minute to see if I could make changes to the menu, and he was so kind. He reassured me that any changes that I needed to make would be accommodated. He promised me that he would work with me to ensure all of my guests would be cared for and to not worry. He told me to enjoy my trip that this change was no problem. Our apartment rental in Florence was in the historic center and had no elevator. It had a very small kitchen, but none of this was an issue for Francesco. When I shared that we did not have enough plates and utensils, he reassured me that he would bring additional plates and utensils. There was nothing he could not handle. Our party of 12 just lived Francesco. He was so professional and warm. Francesco exceeded our expectations. Our apertivo was perfect! There were so many delicious foods to sample while we sipped wine and/or had spritzes. Our main courses were so good. Everyone was beyond happy as we gathered around the table for a cozy, family meal. It was truly magical. To end the night, Francesco set up three birthday cakes with sprinkles and special candles, so we could celebrate our special birthdays. To top off our night, Francesco gifted us chilled lemoncello which everyone loved. We could not have asked for more. Oh…and did I mention that food was beyond delicious? ❤️

A Culinary Experience That Leaves a Mark: I Fell in Love with His Cuisine! Describing Chef Francesco Falci's cuisine as "excellent" would be an understatement. What I had was a true experience that goes far beyond just a meal. We started with a cooking class, making homemade pasta. Francesco also has his own cooking school in San Casciano dei Bagni; I've seen the photos; it's a beautiful and very welcoming place! It's a shame it was our last day in Tuscany, otherwise I would have definitely taken another experience at his school to learn new recipes, including pizza. He'll send me the recipes anyway. Dinner: I literally fell in love with his cuisine! Each dish is a celebration of flavors, a perfect balance between Italian tradition and a touch of contemporary elegance. Francesco's passion for selecting the freshest, highest-quality local ingredients shines through in every bite. What makes it spectacular: - Authentic Flavors, Superior Technique: His dishes are clean, intense, and cooked with a mastery that only a professional with over 25 years of experience can possess. It's the true essence of Italian cuisine. - Professionalism and Warmth: The Chef and his assistant are impeccably professional, yet they know how to create such a warm and welcoming atmosphere that you'll feel like an honored guest in your own home. - Perfect Home Service: The convenience of having an experience directly in the villa is priceless. - He left the kitchen impeccable. Francesco Falci isn't just a chef, he's a true professional who excites. If you want your event to be unforgettable, look no further. It's the perfect solution and an experience you absolutely must have. This is my recommendation. Thank you very much, Take a Chef, for this opportunity.

Chef Falci prepared an amazing dinner for my family in Tuscany. He was engaging from start to finish, communicated very clearly throughout the process. The food and paired wines was wonderful and he left the kitchen spotless. Such a wonderful way to wrap up an amazing trip to Italy.

SPECTACULAR BBQ Our Motorcycle Party Was a Culinary Success! We chose Chef Francesco Falci to cook at our vacation home to celebrate the purchase of my new motorcycle with a friend, and I must say, the evening was perfect! Francesco took the concept of home-cooked barbecue to the next level. The quality of the meat was excellent, and it was perfectly cooked—juicy, flavorful, and incredible. Every cut, from steak to fillet, from ribs to skewers, was a true delight. The homemade sides and sauces complemented everything masterfully, making the menu rich and varied. Chef Francesco managed our dinner with great professionalism and friendliness, creating a cheerful and relaxed atmosphere. We didn't have to worry about a thing except enjoying the company and the amazing food. If you're looking for a stress-free BBQ experience, of the highest quality and with impeccable service to celebrate anything, Francesco is the right choice. Five full stars and a promise to call him back for the next milestone! We're planning more celebrations for the purchase of our vintage motorcycles.

Unforgettable Culinary Experience: Francesco is a true professional home chef! Entrusting ourselves to Chef Francesco was the best choice for our private dinner. From the first contact, his professionalism and availability were impeccable, helping us create a menu perfectly tailored to our tastes and needs. Watching Francesco work in our kitchen was a spectacle of discretion and efficiency. Intense yet balanced flavors, top-quality ingredients, authentic cuisine with quality ingredients, and incredible presentation. My fiancée and I were completely blown away!
