Private Chef Service

A private chef service transforms your home or chosen venue into a place of connection, comfort, and creativity. It’s more than having someone cook — it’s about experiencing food made specifically for you, served in an intimate and relaxed setting.

At Loza NYC, each menu is tailor-made to your event — whether it’s an anniversary dinner, family gathering, or private corporate event. We use only fresh, locally sourced ingredients from trusted New York farms and markets, ensuring flavor, quality, and authenticity in every dish.

When you choose Loza, you don’t have to think about logistics. We plan, shop, cook, serve, and clean up — so all you need to do is enjoy the company of your guests.

Our private chef services extend beyond New York City to New Jersey, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and the Hamptons — offering the same standard of care and artistry wherever you host.

A private chef service is about creating harmony between people, space, and food. Unlike catering, where dishes are pre-prepared and standardized, a private chef cooks live in your kitchen — adjusting flavors, timing, and presentation to fit your mood and the flow of the evening.

At Loza NYC, Chef Živko begins every project with conversation. He listens — to what you enjoy, how you want your event to feel, and what kind of experience you want to share. Is it cozy and intimate? Sophisticated and elegant? Vibrant and social? Every detail is translated into the design of your menu and the rhythm of the evening.

Each meal is prepared fresh on-site, using local and seasonal ingredients. The kitchen becomes a space of creativity, and your table a space of connection. You’ll experience the aromas, textures, and atmosphere of a professional kitchen — without the rush or noise of a restaurant.

Our private chef service in New York is about simplicity and authenticity. You don’t need to plan, cook, or clean. You simply enjoy — while we create an evening that feels both spontaneous and beautifully orchestrated.

A private chef brings skill, planning, and personal attention to every detail of your meal. At Loza NYC, here’s what’s included in each experience:

Chef Živko’s culinary style blends Mediterranean roots and New York sophistication — combining comfort and craftsmanship. Each event becomes a reflection of you: personal, natural, and refined.

Each private chef service with Loza NYC follows a personal, transparent process designed for comfort and creativity.

1. Consultation – Understanding Your Vision – We start by learning about your event — who you’re hosting, the atmosphere you want to create, and your favorite flavors. This step ensures everything feels tailored to you.
2. Menu Design – Tailored Around You – Chef Živko designs a custom seasonal menu, blending your preferences with local ingredients. Each menu is reviewed, adjusted, and approved before the event.
3. Ingredient Sourcing – Local, Seasonal, Fresh – Ingredients are handpicked from New York markets, specialty suppliers, and local farms — guaranteeing freshness and quality in every bite.
4. Cooking & Service – Bringing the Experience to Life – On the event day, Chef Živko arrives early to prepare, organize, and set the mood. You can watch, chat, or relax while the dishes are prepared in your kitchen. Each course is plated and served with care.
5. Cleanup – Effortless from Start to Finish – After the final course, your kitchen is cleaned and restored. All that remains are the memories of a beautifully hosted evening.
