Private parties
Homes, courtyards and private gardens: spaces never designed for catering. We work on tiptoe, adapting to the setting and respecting it.
- 01
A home is not a banquet hall
There are no service areas, the access is narrow, the kitchen is the family's and is often not enough. We bring everything: stoves, blast chillers, side tables, and find where to put them without encroaching on the party. Here the site visit matters more than anywhere else.
- 02
Routes are planned in advance
Where the dishes come out, where the dirty plates go back, where the waiters wait between rounds: these are decisions made ahead of time, on the floor plan of the house. If the routes cross those of the guests, the party notices the service — which is exactly what must not happen.
- 03
Respecting the home
We are working inside someone's home, often among furniture and objects of value. Surfaces protected, nothing set down where it shouldn't be, care for floors and door frames during setup. It is a form of good manners before it is a procedure.

Noticing nothing
The measure of a job well done is what remains the next day: nothing. We dismantle, clean and put everything back where it was. Whoever walks in the following morning should have no idea that the night before, in there, someone cooked for eighty people.
Frequently asked questions
Can you work in a private home?
Yes, and it is a large part of what we do: homes, courtyards and gardens are not designed for catering, so we bring everything that is needed. Service routes and space for the office are worked out in advance, during the site visit.
What is left after the event?
Nothing. We dismantle, clean and put everything back where it was: whoever walks in the next day should not notice that anyone has been there. That holds for a palazzo ballroom as much as for a living room at home.

Event, date, venue, number of guests: that is where we start to build a tailored proposal.
