About Michelone At Home
Michelone At Home is Michele Guarneri's private chef and catering business. A Piemontese by birth, he has cooked professionally in Sydney since 2014, took his cooking into private homes from 2020, and today works out of the business's own commercial kitchen and cafe on Waterloo Road, Macquarie Park. Michele designs all the menus personally and does the cooking himself at every chef-on-site event, rather than sending someone in his place. The main offer is the private chef dinner, a custom menu of four to six courses cooked in your kitchen, with table service if you want it. Sample menus include a shared Italian feast of burrata, fresh pasta and braised beef, a fine-dining degustation with tuna tartare, scallops and Wagyu, a coastal menu focused on seafood, and a Piemontese menu drawn from the dishes Michele grew up on. Larger or more relaxed parties can go with drop-off grazing and canapes, two- or three-course set menus, or one of two food trucks, a wood-fired pizza truck and a fresh pasta and gnocchi truck, both cooking in front of guests. Small groups and team building sessions can also book pasta, gnocchi and arancini classes. Chef-on-site bookings cover the chef, ingredients, equipment, service and a complete clean-up. Every menu includes vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes, halal can be arranged on request, and wedding couples get a private tasting beforehand. Set menus and drop-off catering start at ten guests, private dinners at about eight, and corporate events have topped 500. Expect a reply from Michele within 24 hours. Two to four weeks' notice works for most events, though short-notice and last-minute catering is possible when the kitchen has room.

Frequently asked questions
How much does Michelone At Home cost?
Drop-off grazing and canapes are from $25 per person, two-course set menus from $75 per person, and private chef dinners from $125 per person. Food truck packages go from $27 per person for wood-fired pizza to $60 per person for pizza, pasta and porchetta.
What is included in a private chef booking?
Michele brings the ingredients, equipment and staff, cooks a menu of four to six courses in your kitchen, serves it one course at a time if you'd like table service, and cleans up before he goes.
How far ahead should I book?
Allow two to four weeks for private dinners, engagement parties and food truck events, and longer for big numbers or a set wedding date. Short-notice jobs are taken when the team is available, and there's a separate last-minute catering service.
Which areas do they cover?
Sydney and greater NSW. Food truck pricing doesn't include travel outside the Sydney CBD, and events more than 40 km away may carry a small travel fee.
Can they handle dietary requirements?
Yes. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free dishes are standard, halal is available on request, and allergies are worked around once you note them in your enquiry.
