Around The Table
Every gathering has its own story.
My role is simply to make it unforgettable.
​
From the first conversation to the final course,
every detail is handled with care so you can be fully present with your guests.
Every gathering is different. Your experience should be too.
THOUGHTFULLY DESIGNED MENUS
​
Every menu is created exclusively
for your event,
inspired by the season, your preferences, and the people gathering around your table.
GENUINE HOSPITALITY
Great service is never intrusive.
It's anticipating your needs, making your guests feel comfortable,
and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels welcome.
EVERY DETAIL, TAKEN CARE OF
From shopping and preparation to cooking, service, and leaving your kitchen spotless, every detail is handled so you can relax and enjoy your guests.
Our Conversation
Every gathering starts with understanding your guests, your tastes, dietary preferences, and the occasion you're celebrating.
The Experience ​​
Every unforgettable evening begins long before the first course.
​
Your Menu​​
​
No templates. No fixed packages.
Every course is created around the season, your preferences, and the atmosphere you want to create.
Italian. Elegant.
Personal.
The Action​
I arrive early.
I transform your kitchen into a professional workspace.
Every course is prepared fresh, served with precision, and your kitchen is left exactly as I found it.
You enjoy your guests.
I take care of everything else.
The Memories
When the evening ends, my hope is that your guests remember far more than the food—they remember how they felt around your table.
From My Kitchen To Yours
​
Meet Chef Paco Frola
Hospitality was never something I learned in a restaurant.
It began long before I ever wore a chef's jacket.Growing up in Naples, the kitchen was the heart of our home.
It was where conversations lingered, wine was poured without asking,
and everyone knew there was always room for one more at the table.
Those moments shaped the chef I would become.
Today, after leading professional kitchens and cooking for guests throughout
New York and New Jersey, I still believe the greatest meals aren't measured by how many courses are served.
They're measured by how people feel when the evening is over.
When I cook in your home, my goal isn't simply to prepare dinner.It's to create an atmosphere where you can slow down, reconnect, and enjoy the people around your table while I quietly take care of the rest.
Because genuine hospitality isn't about being seen.It's about making others feel seen.
— Chef Paco Frola

We had a wonderful meal with Chef Paco. His dishes were masterfully crafted with the finest ingredients. It was like being at a top-tier restaurant but even more fresh and authentic.

Chef Pasquale cooked and served us an incredibly tasty 4 course meal. He was very accommodating and made last minute changes my guests asked for. I will definitely hire him again! Highly recommended.

Chef Pasquale was absolutely amazing! I had two dinner parties on consecutive nights for my birthday, and Chef Pasquale made each dinner so special and tasty. He only uses the best ingredients. For example, he made the best bruschetta ever because he used tomatoes from Japan - everyone was raving about it! He also made divine pasta, lamb and steak. All my friends were texting me the next day saying how they were still dreaming about the dinner! Ahead of the actual event, he was very communicative and integrated my feedback on the menu well. Highly highly recommend!!

Overall 10 out of 10 experience would recommend to anyone and would 100% book him again for another event.
