Michelone At Home

About Michelone At Home

Michelone At Home is the private chef and catering business of Michele Guarneri, who grew up in Piemonte in northern Italy and has cooked in Sydney kitchens since 2014. He started cooking in clients' homes in 2020, and the business now runs from its own commercial kitchen and cafe on Waterloo Road in Macquarie Park. Michele writes every menu himself and is at the stove for every chef-on-site booking rather than sending a stand-in. Private chef dinners are the core offer: a bespoke menu of four to six courses cooked in your kitchen, with optional table service. Sample menus range from a shared Italian feast of burrata, handmade pasta and braised beef to a fine-dining degustation with tuna tartare, scallops and Wagyu, a seafood-focused coastal menu and a Piemontese menu built on Michele's childhood dishes. For bigger or more casual parties there are drop-off grazing and canape spreads, two- and three-course set menus, and two food trucks, one wood-fired pizza and one fresh pasta and gnocchi, which cook in front of guests. Pasta, gnocchi and arancini cooking classes are also run for small groups and team building. Chef-on-site bookings include the chef, ingredients, equipment, service and a full clean-up. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dishes are built into every menu, halal is available on request, and couples get a private tasting before a wedding. Set menus and drop-off start at ten guests, private dinners at around eight, and corporate jobs have gone past 500. Michele usually replies within 24 hours; two to four weeks' notice suits most events, though short-notice and last-minute catering is taken when the kitchen has capacity.
