Fine Dining, right
to Your Table
Locally inspired private chef experiences, elevated catering, and hands-on cooking classes crafted with fresh ingredients.
Our Story
Matt’s Professional Chef Service is built on fresh local ingredients, refined culinary technique, and a deep respect for the people who gather around the table.
Chef Matt began his culinary journey as a dishwasher at Agustin Kitchen, working his way into the kitchen and building a career throughout Tucson’s restaurant scene. His experience includes Dante’s Fire, Casino Del Sol, The Lodge on the Desert, and serving as a chef for a University of Arizona sorority.
His greatest influence was his mentor, Chef Gino Marinelli of Roma’s Cafe, who taught him not only how to cook, but how to care for the people at the table. Chef Matt later honored his legacy by naming his food truck Original Gino’s Cafe.
