CHEF MICHELE LAISO

A chef for your dinner party.

Michele designs the menu and cooks it on site — in your home, your villa or on a charter. Dinner parties, birthdays, anniversaries and engagements, served course by course, with the kitchen left as he found it.

Every occasion, cooked on site.

A dinner party for six, a birthday at home, a celebration on a boat — the menu is built around the occasion, and it is cooked in front of you rather than delivered in trays.

Intimate Dinner at Home

A multi-course tasting menu for 2 to 20 guests, cooked and served in your own kitchen.

Celebrations & Milestones

Birthdays, anniversaries, engagements — an unforgettable evening built around the moment.

Corporate Hosting

Client dinners, board entertaining and brand activations with restaurant-grade service.

Yacht & Villa Dining

Destination cooking aboard charters or at holiday villas across Sydney and beyond.
