A private chef for the growing coast
Experience the ultimate culinary indulgence with Chef Tony Durso — Vero Beach's premier private chef with over 25 years of experience, now cooking in Port St. Lucie's golf communities, riverfront homes, and family kitchens.
Port St. Lucie's table is set
Port St. Lucie has become the Treasure Coast's hometown — golf communities around PGA Village, the master-planned streets of Tradition, families spread out along the St. Lucie River, and neighborhoods full of people who moved here for the good life. The good life, done right, includes someone else cooking. From dinner parties in the golf communities to weeknight meal prep for busy families, I bring the restaurant to your kitchen.
Celebrations and the everyday
Port St. Lucie lives two ways, and I cook for both. There are the milestones — anniversaries in Tradition, birthdays in the golf communities, holiday tables full of grandkids — where a private chef turns the house into the best restaurant in town. And then there is the everyday: busy families, long commutes, full calendars. That is where personal chef meal prep earns its keep — a full week of fresh, portioned, ready-to-eat meals designed around your dietary goals, prepared in your own kitchen while you are at work.
I source the freshest locally available ingredients, working with trusted Treasure Coast purveyors. Every dish is prepared from scratch — no shortcuts, no compromises.
For weekly meal prep clients, most opt for three to five days of dinners, with breakfasts, lunches, and snacks available too — and you do not need to be home while I cook. For events, a deposit reserves your date; three to four weeks ahead is the sweet spot, especially in season.
What I cook here
Private chef dinners — custom multi-course menus for special occasions, dinner parties, anniversaries, and intimate gatherings; full cooking and cleanup.
Personal chef and weekly meal prep — consultation on dietary goals, custom menu design, grocery shopping, in-home cooking, labeled meals with reheating instructions, spotless kitchen. Most clients opt for 3–5 days of dinners.
Vacation rental chef — full-service in-home dining for vacation homes and group getaways.
Cooking demonstrations and bachelorette parties — interactive, delicious, and unforgettable.
What guests say
"I've hired many private chefs over the years, and today's food was THE best. They even left the kitchen and dining room cleaner and better than before. Tony catered to my desire for organic food. I'll definitely be using them again."
