Samuel Ulloa

I bring NYC fine-dining precision to your table—fully customized and effortlessly hosted.

I’m Samuel, a NYC-based private chef focused on creating elevated, restaurant-level experiences in your home. My background is rooted in fine dining, with experience in kitchens like Jean-Georges, Ai Fiori, Marea, Locanda Verde, and The Mark Hotel—where I held roles including Sous Chef, Executive Sous Chef, and Chef de Cuisine, building a deep commitment to precision, ingredient quality, and refined presentation.

I bring that same level of execution to every private event—whether it’s an intimate dinner for two or a multi-course tasting. My menus are customized around your preferences, with clean, composed plates, seasonal ingredients, and a smooth, well-paced flow so you can enjoy the evening without interruption.

Plan your event with me

For me, cooking is about creating an experience—bringing people together through thoughtful, well-executed food.

I focus on thoughtful execution, consistency, and ingredients that speak for themselves.

I cook to create an experience

For me, cooking is about creating an experience—bringing people together through thoughtful, well-executed food, with an elevated feel from the first course to the last.

I learned in NYC’s top fine-dining kitchens

I learned how to cook through hands-on experience in some of NYC’s top fine-dining kitchens, where discipline and consistency are everything, and every detail—from seasoning to timing to presentation—matters.

I keep it simple and technique-driven

My secret in the kitchen is keeping things simple—letting quality ingredients and proper technique do the work, so each dish feels clean, refined, and intentional.

Samuel’s Menus

I offer curated, fine-dining menus designed for in-home service—from Mediterranean coastal tasting experiences to modern Italian, seasonal New American, and kaiseki-inspired Japanese. I deliver composed plates, polished pacing, and restaurant-level execution tailored to your preferences and occasion.
