I create personalized private dining experiences with fresh ingredients and Italian-inspired cooking, tailored to your tastes and dietary needs.

Rachid El Bellal

I design private meals that feel personal, warm, and unforgettable.

I believe dining should be a personal experience. I work closely with you to create customized menus that match your preferences and dietary needs—whether it’s an intimate dinner, a special celebration, or simply a delicious meal at home.

I source the finest, freshest ingredients—often from local markets and organic suppliers—and I take care of everything: menu planning, shopping, cooking, and cleanup, so you can relax and enjoy the moment.

Plan your menu with me

As we say in Italy, “amore” is the key word of everything.

What you can expect when you dine with me

I cook with passion and creativity

In my cooking, I strive to convey a sense of passion and creativity, emphasizing the joy of bringing people together through food.

I bring real restaurant experience to your table

I was born in Italy, and during my school years I gained experience in a nice, high-level restaurant—an experience that still shapes how I plan, cook, and serve today.

I believe love is the main ingredient

My secret in the kitchen is simple: I put “amore” into everything, because that’s what turns a meal into a memory.

Stories and testimonials

We had an amazing experience with Chef Rachid! He was incredibly open, attentive to all our wishes, and made the day truly special. We booked him for a private birthday lunch with 11 guests, including children, and he handled everything with so much patience and joy. Even the picky eaters were absolutely thrilled — everyone loved the food! The ingredients were fresh and delicious, and every dish was full of flavor - the chicken was so crispy, everybody loved it. Rachid was supported by a friend, and together they made a fantastic team. After the dinner, they left the kitchen spotless, which we appreciated so much. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening. Thank you, Rachid, for making this birthday so memorable! Highly recommended!
