Where michelin-trained meets made simple
There's a beautiful Italian word — gradito — that means welcome, appreciated, pleasant. It's the perfect name for what this platform has built: a way to transform your home into a Michelin-quality restaurant without the endless search for the right chef.
Gradito specializes in private and corporate events with chefs from the world's best restaurants. They create memorable moments for A-list celebrities and America's top brands, but what makes them different isn't just their roster — it's their approach to solving a very real problem.
The search that doesn't exist
Most people spend 4+ hours searching online, meeting more than 5 different chefs, and still have a low chance of a successful event. Gradito flips this entirely: less than 5 minutes to match, meeting just one chef, with a high chance of success.
Their direct network of Michelin-trained chefs means you're not gambling on someone who's never worked in a home setting before. These chefs have already been vetted, tested, and understand the unique dynamics of cooking in someone's personal space.
The breadth that matters
Their trusted and talented chefs offer Cantonese, French, Italian, Japanese, Mediterranean, New American, Kosher, Plant-Based, Spanish, Thai, and Vietnamese cuisines. Can't find what you're looking for? They'll work to provide new cuisine types — the kind of flexibility that comes from understanding hospitality isn't one-size-fits-all.
What the experience looks like
You select your time and location, answer a few questions about tastes and preferences, and get matched with a chef. Choose from their polished menus or create one together. Add a sommelier and wine pairings if you want to elevate further. Your chef arrives with all ingredients and cooking supplies, handles everything, and cleans up afterward.
Private chef experiences start at $1,600 for 10 guests and under, plus the cost of food. Events can accommodate anywhere from 2 to 100 guests. They'll use your plates and glasses, or organize rentals if you prefer.
The platform difference
Gradito isn't trying to be everything to everyone. They've built something specific: access to restaurant-quality chefs who understand how to work in homes, with a matching process that actually works, and the infrastructure to handle everything from ingredients to cleanup.
It's hospitality that feels effortless because the complexity has been solved behind the scenes.
