A Private Chef at Home in Southern Highlands and Henderson
Chef's Roma Kitchen sends a chef to your home. Not a meal-prep service, not a marketplace booking with a stranger — the same restaurant kitchen that holds 4.7 stars across 430 Google reviews cooks dinner in your kitchen, led by Executive Chef Ricardo Romo himself or one of the restaurant's chefs. The service covers homes within 10 miles of each location: the Southern Highlands kitchen on S Decatur Blvd for the southwest valley, and the Horizon Ridge kitchen for Henderson, MacDonald Highlands, Anthem, Seven Hills, and Green Valley.

A Restaurant's Chef, Not a Marketplace Booking
Most private chef searches in the Las Vegas valley land on booking marketplaces and solo operators — a profile, a rating from a handful of dinners, and a chef you meet for the first time when the doorbell rings. Chef's Roma Kitchen is the other answer: a restaurant you can walk into tonight, taste the food, read 430 Google reviews of, and then bring home. The dinner in your kitchen is led by Executive Chef Ricardo Romo himself or one of the restaurant's chefs, cooking the same Italian food the dining rooms serve. If you want to vet your private chef before booking, the vetting is a dinner reservation.

Who Cooks: Chef Ricardo Romo and His Kitchen
Chef Ricardo Romo has cooked for more than 30 years — Michael Mina at MGM Grand, STK at the Cosmopolitan, Beer Park at Paris Las Vegas, Mastro's Ocean Club at Aria and Crystals, and Toca Madera, after starting on Martha's Vineyard and opening concepts in Santa Rosa, Paso Robles, Washington DC, and San Francisco. In his words: "I have worked on the Strip, which I loved, but I wanted to step away from the glitz and connect with the local community. I want to serve classic, Italian comfort food and good wine in a small, intimate setting." A private dinner at your table is that idea taken literally. Depending on the date, your dinner is cooked by Chef Romo himself or by one of the restaurant's chefs — tell the team in the inquiry if the distinction matters for your event.

Where the Chef Travels: 10 Miles from Each Kitchen
The service runs from both restaurants, and each covers homes within 10 miles — so the combined footprint spans the southwest valley and the east valley.

What the Chef Cooks
The menu is the food Roma is known for — classic Italian, from the same kitchens the reviews describe. Recognizable anchors include Penne Bolognese, Meat Lasagna, Gnocchi with Truffle Cream, Spaghetti Cacio e Pepe, Chicken Parmigiana, Chicken Piccata, Eggplant Parmigiano, Bruschetta, Fried Calamari, Shrimp Scampi, Caesar Salad, and Tiramisu. The dinner itself is shaped to your table: share the occasion, the headcount, and any menu direction in the inquiry, and the chef plans the menu with you before the date is confirmed.

How the Pricing Works
Each private chef dinner is quoted per event: a per-event minimum that scales with your party size, rather than a per-person price. The reason is honest — a chef cooking in your home for an evening is not a tray of food, and pricing it per head invites the wrong comparison. The per-event quote prices the thing you are actually buying: a restaurant chef's evening, planned around your table. Send the date, headcount, and location, get the quote, and a 25% deposit confirms the date.

Planning a Private Chef Dinner Party
A dinner party with a private chef needs exactly three decisions from the host: the date, the headcount, and the table. Everything else — the menu, the timing of courses, the flow of the evening — is worked out with the chef once the inquiry lands. That is the real advantage over hosting yourself: the host is at the table for the whole dinner instead of in the kitchen missing it. The strongest bookings name the occasion up front — an anniversary, a milestone birthday, a proposal, a holiday table, a client dinner — because the occasion shapes how the chef plans the menu and paces the night.

When the Restaurant Is the Better Room
An in-home chef is one of three formats the same kitchens offer, and the honest recommendation depends on the event. If the group would rather come to the restaurant, both locations have an enclosed private dining room seating up to 10, and a full buyout hosts up to 100. If the event just needs food — a daytime shower, an office lunch, a party spread — the 39-tray catering menu covers pickup or delivery, including orders that go out before the dining rooms open at 4 PM. The private chef is for the events in between: too personal for a dining room, too important for trays.
