I bring Argentine warmth and Italian tradition to your table, crafting memorable at-home dining experiences focused on your satisfaction.

Mariano Rinaldi

I turn Italian and Argentine traditions into an unforgettable meal at your table.

I’m a culinary professional from Argentina with Italian roots from my father’s side in Naples, and I’ve grown up with a deep appreciation for gastronomy shaped by family ties to the restaurant world. I love connecting through food and conversation, sharing my experiences while I cook for you and your guests.

From Italian cured meats and authentic pasta to classic empanadas and vibrant chimichurri, I aim to elevate your dining experience and leave a lasting impression. I’d be honored to host a culinary evening that feels personal, generous, and genuinely memorable.
