Bio

Patrick’s culinary journey began at just 15, when he traded a retail job for the buzz of a local café kitchen. Starting as a kitchen hand, he was immediately captivated by the pace, energy, and passion of hospitality. From those early days, he worked his way up, eventually beginning a formal apprenticeship that laid the foundation for his unique style as a Personal Chef Sydney known for thoughtful, elevated cuisine with soul.

Specialising in Cuisine Modern Australian, French, and Italian, Patrick’s philosophy is simple—hospitality comes first. Whether serving an intimate dinner party or a high-end celebration, he treats every guest like family. As a Personal Chef Inner-West, he thrives on creating personal connections through food, delivering more than just a meal—he offers a full sensory experience shaped by care and creativity.

Chef Patrick’s style is elegant yet playful, with standout dishes like beetroot ravioli with burnt butter, pickled beets, and roasted walnuts—an homage to his Italian heritage and his love for balance and depth. This kind of detail and innovation has earned him a reputation as a top Private Chef Sydney, consistently exceeding expectations with every dish.

Inspired by global flavours and travel, Patrick loves reimagining classics in fresh, exciting ways. A signature creation—Japanese-inspired eggs Benedict with crispy nori, blowtorched salmon, and deep-fried rice cakes—perfectly illustrates his ability to blend cultures and techniques. Whether booked as a Personal Chef Inner-West or a Private Chef Sydney, his menus are always a harmonious mix of tradition and modernity.

    Chef Patrick was the bomb. The whole experience was insane, amazing flavours and food. It was middle eastern flavours on everything but elevated, delicious and so beautifully presented. The service we received cannot be recreated at restaurants. We had one kid with a blood nose halfway through service and Chef helped clean it up, and was carrying my nephew at the end whilst we were eating dessert. It was everything you want from a fancy restaurant – but family style. We can’t wait to book again for another event.
