Give An Evening They'll Remember

A private dining experience, created in their home and designed entirely around them

Purchase a Private Dining Gift Card

More Than a Gift

This isn’t a voucher for a meal.

 

It’s an experience — one that unfolds over an evening, in a space that already feels like home.

Davide works directly with the recipient to design a menu, shape the flow of the evening, and create something that feels effortless from start to finish. No templates. No fixed menus. No standard format.

 

Just a private dining experience built around them.

How it Works

3 Steps:

1. You purchase the gift card
Choose an amount towards a private dining experience and complete your order securely online.*

Step 2

2. Receive it instantly
You’ll receive a beautifully designed digital gift card by email, ready to forward or print.

Step 3

3. They choose their experience.

The recipient contacts Davide to arrange a date, menu, and details.

*Valid for private dining experiences. Redeemable against the full booking. The gift card can be personalised with a message at checkout.

 

 

Customer Feedback

These aren’t restaurant reviews, they’re experiences people remember.

Wow wow wow!! Davide was absolutely outstanding at my dad’s 80th family birthday celebration. The food was superb, Davide thought of everything, made suggestions and engaged with us all. He spoke with pride about his food and his experience and we all had an exceptional evening. We would hire him again in a heartbeat!! Thank you Davide for a wonderful evening.

Davide was incredible! We hired him for a private meal for a hen do and he exceeded all expectations. He was so charismatic, explained his background, and all the dishes in detail. The food was amazing, everything was presented beautifully, and tasted so so delicious. He got set up whilst we all got ready and worked around our timings, the kitchen was left spotless. We couldn’t have asked for more. Thank you Davide!

Well what can I say other than…. SUPERB! From the moment I engaged with Chef Davide the process was seamless. He took my initial thoughts of what I wanted for a surprise birthday dinner for my wife, along with some dietary requirements for certain members of the party and created a truly special evening. The meal was regarded by all as a “once in a lifetime” experience. The elegance and effort that went into every aspect was incredible. I cannot thank Chef Davide enough. It was amazing.

ABOUT DAVIDE

Davide Cerretini is an Italian chef, restaurateur, and unapologetic troublemaker in the food world. Born in Tuscany and trained in traditional Italian kitchens, he built a career in both Europe and the United States before becoming internationally known as the 'One-Star Chef', owner of Botto Bistro, the California restaurant that famously invited customers to leave one-star reviews on Yelp.

 

Behind the headlines is a chef who cares deeply about food and hospitality. Davide’s cooking is rooted in the traditions of Tuscany - simple ingredients, confident technique, and big, unforgettable flavours. His private dining experiences combine that culinary heritage with the warmth, humour, and storytelling that have made him a favourite with guests for decades.
