Our Chefs
Rony Parienty
Hi there, my name is Rony Parienty and I am a private chef based in Melbourne.
I've been fortunate enough to have worked in some of the most amazing kitchens in the world, including France, Switzerland, Italy and Spain.
My experience in these countries helped me to develop a unique style, blending classic techniques with contemporary flair in my cooking.
I have also had the opportunity to work at one of Melbourne's iconic restaurants, Vue de Monde, where I gained valuable experience in high-end dining.
Ex Head Chef at No35 Sofitel, freshly owner of a one of a kind multi sensory restaurant called Shelanous! I lead a team of culinary professionals to create delicious and visually appealing dishes for guests.
I am passionate about using fresh and locally sourced ingredients, and my aim is to create memorable culinary experiences for my diners.
Thank you for your time and I look forward to the opportunity to cook for you.
Alberto Biscaro and Sarah
With over 20 years of combined experience, Chef Alberto and Restaurant Manager Sarah bring the authentic flavors of Italy, with a strong focus on traditional Venetian cuisine, to your table.
They expertly blend time-honored recipes with contemporary techniques, crafting dishes that are as visually stunning as they are delicious.
From elegant fine dining to warm, family-style gatherings, they offer a culinary experience filled with passion, creativity, and the rich heritage of Italian cooking.
Each meal is a journey through the heart of Venice, delivered with care and precision.
Jo Kendray
My culinary journey began on MasterChef Australia in 2018, igniting a passion that led me to work in some of Melbourne’s top kitchens. During COVID, I ran online dumpling classes while cooking for my neighbors, sharing my love for food with others.
Now part of the MoVida group, I’ve developed a deep appreciation for Spanish cuisine, fresh seafood, and cooking over fire. To refine my skills, I completed a butchery course at TAFE, expanding my expertise in working with meat. I’ve also taught Latin and street food classes at South Melbourne Market, blending my love for food and travel—an industry where I thrived before becoming a chef.
Beyond restaurants, I create memorable dining experiences as a private chef, bringing bold flavors and open-fire cooking into people’s homes. For me, food is about passion, technique, and bringing people together around the table.
