Private Dinners, Made Just for You

Because the best conversations happen around a beautifully set table.

We are Talks & Dishes—a culinary collective founded by chefs trained in Italy, based in Rome, with deep roots in Mediterranean food culture and wine. Based in Rome, we specialize in private dining experiences that blend Italian culinary, and sommelier-led wine pairings.Our service is traditional in intention, refined in execution: we bring fully hosted, bespoke dinners to your home, villa, or event space—complete with on-site cooking, curated wines, and seamless service.

Our approach is to, refine your event culinary vision. What kind of evening are you imagining? A milestone anniversary under string lights? A wellness retreat where food supports presence? A birthday dinner where every bite feels like a memory in the making?
For years, we’ve helped hosts just like you create gatherings that feel effortless, intimate, and deeply memorable—because we understand that great food is never just about the plate. It’s about the people around it.

With a 95%+ success rate in client satisfaction and repeat bookings, we don’t just deliver a tasteful experience. We deliver a well organized and confident performance—so you can be fully present with your guests, knowing every detail is cared for.

If you’re envisioning a dinner that feels as special as the people you’re gathering, we’d be honored to bring it to life.

Each gathering becomes a quiet celebration of handmade pasta, slow-braised meats, coastal seafood, and wines chosen not just to pair—but to connect.

What It Feels Like to Host With Us

Thoughtful food, made fresh on-site.
We arrive with everything we need—even portable tools, if your kitchen needs more accommodation. Dishes are freshly prepared the same day: think of handmade tagliatelle with white truffle, Osso Buco with saffron risotto, or a Provençal Bouillabaisse that smells like the sea.

Wine that tells a story.
Our sommelier selects bottles that complement both the food and the feeling of the evening. A crisp Vermentino with grilled octopus. A velvety Barolo with truffle pasta. Wines are available to enjoy that night—or take home as a keepsake.

You’re free to be a guest at your own table.
We handle setup, service, and cleanup. You simply gather your people and be present.

For Moments That Matter

We’ve had the honor of creating dinners for intimate weddings, corporate retreats, milestone birthdays, and quiet proposals. Whether you’re gathering 6 or 60, what matters isn’t the number—it’s the feeling in the room.

Our full-service experiences begin at €125 per person and include custom menu design, on-site chef and service, and full cleanup. Wine pairings are optional—and always offered with generosity, never pressure.

There’s no template. No standard package. Just a conversation between kindred spirits who believe food is the best reason to gather.
