Born and raised in the heart of Little Italy in the Bronx, Chef Nicholas Di Paolo’s culinary journey is nothing short of extraordinary. From some of Manhattan’s most iconic restaurants like Raoul’s Bistro, One if by Land, Two if by Sea & Cipriani’s Rainbow Room, to the Las Vegas Strip’s Foundation Roomat Mandalay Bay.
“Embracing this new ‘Gig Economy’ I have retired from brick-and-mortar establishments and decided to use the expertise I’ve gained over a 33 career to provide private chef catering services in Sedona and the surrounding areas. Truly a national treasure, it is absolutely one of the most spectacular places on earth. Now there’s no need to organize some trip to a crowded restaurant when your rental provides a much better aesthetic anyway. I bring the same standards found in the finest restaurants whether you choose a Buffet or Formal Fine Dining service. I offer a service for every budget using exclusively USDA Choice Black Angus beef products, fresh fish from sustainable sources that deliver daily from California, and local sources whenever available. My business model is simple: Provide a wholesome gourmet experience for each level of service a client may need with food bought and prepared fresh from scratch by the chef himself. So if you’re looking to serve the very best to your guests, look no further. Thank you” – Chef Nick

He made the best food and we even had leftovers and cancelled our dinner reservations the next day for 8 of us to continue to eat.

Chef Nick made a spectacular 5 course meal for our girl Kelli’s bachelorette party. He shared some amazing stories and tips on restaurants to dine in. We loved the shrimp appetizer with yucca puree and the leftovers were killer even the next day! Highly recommend Chef Nick for personal parties or events.
