Gastro Personal Chef Service

Specialties

We specialize in gourmet, chef driven private dinner parties with menus custom designed for each specific event. From intimate romantic dinners to group events, Gastro Personal Chef Service creates a truly unique private in home dining experience for you and your guests.

We handle everything from shopping to service to cleanup. All you have to do is just sit back and relax while we take care of everything.

Our custom approach views the menu in its entirety, not as a simple compilation of individual dishes. Each course will compliment and fit within the context of the others. It’s our belief that good food should transport the guest to a specific place, time or memory.

History

Established in 2011.

Gastro Personal Chef Service was started by trained chef Dan DiMichele to create unique chef driven, gourmet dinner parties for Chicago’s Western & Northwestern suburbs.
