I bring authentic European technique and ingredient-driven Italian cooking to your table—crafted with simplicity, precision, and heart.

Massimo Fedozzi

I create refined, authentic menus inspired by Italy and the Mediterranean—made personal for your table.

I’m a graduate of the Marco Polo Culinary Institute in Genova, Italy, and I grew up surrounded by food in my family’s salumi shops—where I learned early that great meals start with real ingredients and shared moments. My career took me through some of Europe’s most renowned kitchens, and I became one of the first in Italy to present nouvelle cuisine as the youngest Italian Executive Chef.

Over the years, I’ve led openings and culinary operations, developed recipes for major food brands, and cooked privately for high-profile clients—always adapting to dietary needs and personal preferences. I’m based in New York and I’m available to travel for personal chef services whenever you need an elevated, seamless experience.
