We absolutely LOVED our dinner with Chef Amenta!! He made such a delicious birthday dinner for my husband with home made pizza, home made tagliatelle bolognese, branzino, crunchy potatoes, salad, tiramisu and chocolate mousse. Chef Amenta was wonderful to work with from our planning call to create the menu, to the cooking process where our family had so much fun watching him cook, to serving the meal and cleanup. I would highly recommend Chef Amenta for your next dinner party we will definitely be welcoming him back to our home again for more meals! Thank you for everything

For my birthday dinner, we hired Chef Amenta to prepare an Italian feast for six people, and as someone who's born and raised in Italy, I couldn't have been more impressed. He brought the rich flavors and traditions of Italian cuisine to life in a way that felt both authentic and elevated.
From the start, Chef Amenta was professional and attentive. He worked with us to create a menu that showcased classic Italian dishes with a modern twist. Every course was a celebration of flavor.
Beyond the food, he brought an inviting warmth to the evening. His dedication to quality, authenticity, and hospitality was evident in every detail.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an extraordinary dining experience. Mille grazie, Chef!"

We recently booked Chef Amenta for a private dinner for 15 guests, and it was an exceptional experience. He offered a wide range of menus to choose from and was incredibly flexible in accommodating our needs, including gluten-free and vegetarian options. Chef Amenta was courteous and highly professional throughout the event. His dishes were incredibly fresh. The pasta and desserts were particularly outstanding. I would hire him again without hesitation!

I have hired Chef Francesco Amenta twice and both recipients of our gift, of Chef Amenta's dinner for two, we're blissfully happy and loved everything about the experience! He is kind, and charming, and extremely talented! Both recipients plan to hire him as a gift for someone else. I highly recommend Chef Francesco, he is worth every penny!

This is my first cooking class ever, and I really enjoyed it. Don’t be scared if you’re a first timer, Francesco will teach you all the things you need to do and need to know to make a really good italian dishes. So I chose to make a tagliatelle, and I really loved the recipe. We made the pasta fresh, and cooked the bolognese fresh as well. Francesco is also really knowledgeable, you can ask him about any cuisines, and he would be glad to answer all your questions. He also gave me a nice banana cake and some good drinks, would definitely come back here!

Francesco was a great teacher and host. I work as a chef and my girlfriend is a beginner home cook but he was able to explain everything and answer every question we had with ease. Fun, relaxing, and informative; it's a great experience.

This class was the gem in our NYC trip! Francesco’s expertise with pasta was amazing, and we so appreciated the care and attention to detail. He goes out of his way to accommodate, and has great stories about the process of cooking. It was a special evening for reuniting with my mom, sister and niece to create cherished memories. We hope to book another class in the future, and highly recommend!

The cooking class was inspirational. Making your own pasta at home is great but when you use Francescos tips, its just like a night out at an italian restaurant.

We had the best time at Francesco’s pasta making class! First, we accidentally got the time wrong and showed up 30 minutes early, but Francesco was nothing but kind and welcoming and started the class early for us. He is incredible knowledgeable about not only pasta, but most traditional Italian cuisine, and he happily answered all of my girlfriend’s questions. He was incredibly kind and such a gracious host — it made the experience so special. The pasta was obviously incredible; we honestly couldn’t believe we had made it ourselves. We definitely feel able to do it on our own now, but want to come back and take the rest of Francesco’s classes ASAP! Thanks again Francesco for such a lovely day!!

It was very easy to communicate with Francesco prior to the class about what we would like to learn how to make and if any dietary restrictions. Easy to meet up and Francesco has a nice setting ready with pleasant and relaxing jazz music on. The class style was informative and easy to follow. At the end of the class we could enjoy the result of the cooking and glass of wine that Francesco offer. Francesco is also generous in sharing cooking tips for any other dishes as he is very experienced in cooking.

Making pasta from scratch has always seemed to me like a hidden art. But no longer, thanks to Francesco. While relaxing into the quiet atmosphere of Francesco's apartment, we learned about his life, a variety of recipes, as well as unlocked the secrets of pasta dough. To sit down at the end and enjoy mounds of our own creation dressed in a delicious sauce was a truly special experience and one that I recommend.

Me and my girlfriend had the best time! We decided to do something adventurous and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Francesco is an amazing and interesting person, we truly felt like we were in an experts kitchen. He has been around the world and has many stories to tell. Extremely friendly and accepting, and not booking this class would be to miss an amazing time:) highly recommend.

We LOVED this! It was just my husband and I. Francesco was super nice and a great teacher. We made potato gnocchi per my request with a delicious marinara sauce. We were served wine and had a really yummy desert that Francesco previously made. We had nice conversations and learned Francesco is a jazz musician. We’re hoping to go see him perform! Thanks Francesco!
