About Savvy Shef

Welcome. I'm Alex. I’m passionate about co-creating a luxurious fine dining experience with you so that we can make a special occasion memorable for years to come! Anniversaries, birthdays, business meetings, and special occasions are guaranteed to be elegant, effortless and enjoyable. You'll spend precious time with the most important people in your life, and I'll take care of the menu creation, shopping, cooking and all cleaning. I graduated from the Pittsburgh Le Cordon Bleu school of culinary arts and have nearly 20 years of culinary experience ranging from trendy casual to fine dining. I like chatting on the phone with people whether your booking an event or not so let's talk! Cheers! PLEASE NOTE: FOR DINNERS THAT HAVE 3 OR LESS PEOPLE I CHARGE A $375.00 MINIMUM JUST FOR THE SERVICE. GROCERIES ARE BILLED SEPARATELY. (simply because each dinner takes 3 days in total for me to execute. 1st day is for shopping, 2nd day is for prep, and the 3rd day is the actual dinner.) Thank you for your understanding in this regard. 🙏

Chef Alex is fantastic! He created a very special dinner for six in celebration of my Mom's birthday. Our meal was perfectly prepared and absolutely delicious, expertly paced from start to finish. Alex is super friendly and graciously answered our many questions as he prepped dinner - and gave us some great tips! My Mom didn't stop smiling the entire evening, and we're all still talking about how much we enjoyed the entire experience. Absolutely recommend Chef Alex/Savvy Shef!

Alex was very professional, efficient, kind, helpful, punctual--all the good things! He made our catered birthday dinner event amazing! I cannot recommend him enough. Best steaks we've had and right at home!

Alex is a great chef, genuinely interested in his clients and their friends. He is respectful and personable, and obviously enjoys what he does with humble pride. Definitely the “go to” guy for special events and important occasions. All thumbs up!

My Dad was happy and full, that's all that mattered. Chef Alex was awesome. *pics are during cooking prep, not the actual presentation 🙂

Alex is a fantastic and creative chef. My family enjoyed a customized menu designed for a special occasion that will be remembered for a long time. The food pairings were excellent, and the flavors were among the best we've ever enjoyed. Two enthusiastic thumbs up for the Savvy Shef and an unforgettable culinary experience.

Chef Alex was amazing I would recommend him to anyone. He made my wife’s birthday extra special. Food was on another level. 10/10

Alex is absolutely amazing and so easy to work with. He had some food restraints due to sensitivity but made the most on delicious dinner I’ve ever had. The ravioli was superb and the braised short ribs were off the hook. We had the apple crisp and the chocolate tart and were blown away...The restraint was amazing!!

Chef Alex was top notch. Great to work with in preparation of the day. Very professional and friendly. Felt like have a family member over to cook dinner. Of course food was amazing. All in all highly recommend. Price was very reasonable.

I hired Alex for my husband birthday & the whole experience was more than I ever expected, Alex was very professional/helpful with the menu planning etc. We both thoroughly enjoyed the entire meal. I would highly recommend booking Alex for your next special occasion.
