Adriano, founder and head chef of myCHEF Bali

Founder & Head Chef

Adriano

Adriano trained under a Michelin-starred chef in Milan and spent 12 years inside European fine dining kitchens where precision was non-negotiable.

He brings an Italian discipline to every menu: clean flavors, exact technique, and the belief that a plate should say only what it needs to say.

After falling in love with Bali in 2019, he founded myCHEF to build a private dining brand that respected local sourcing while holding international standards.

Today he still leads the signature tasting menus, trains the chef team, and takes the bookings where the cooking needs his personal hand.

Adriano is available for Chef's Table on Friday and Saturday only, with a maximum of 6 guests.

The Brigade Behind Your Fine-Dining Evening

Every fine-dining evening — the tasting menus, the 24 set menus, the Chef's Table — is cooked by a small, fixed brigade led by our founder. These are the chefs who cook them, and how to request the one you want. For the complete company roster — BBQ, wellness, events and retreat chefs — see the full myCHEF culinary team →.

560+ events served · 12,000+ guests hosted · 50+ hospitality professionals

Adriano — Founder & Executive Chef

Milan-born. Trained under a Michelin-starred chef in Milan, with years in fine-dining kitchens across Italy and a formative stage in Tokyo — before making Bali home.

Adriano built myCHEF to take restaurant-grade technique out of the dining room and into private villas, and he still leads the work personally: menu development, every signature tasting menu, and the training of every chef below. His signature dish — handmade tagliolini with Bali lemon and bottarga — tells you most of what you need to know: Italian discipline, Balinese produce, nothing on the plate that doesn't need to be there.

Available for: the Chef's Table (Fridays & Saturdays, 6 seats — Adriano only, never substituted), signature tasting menus, and select custom collaborations.

The Fine-Dining Brigade

I Made Surya — Head Chef, Mediterranean

The calm hand behind many of our Mediterranean set menus. Surya combines Adriano's technique with Balinese market knowledge — just-caught seafood, handmade pasta, clean sauces — and is the guest favourite for intimate dinners of six to twelve. Signature: fresh pasta with the day's catch. Book I Made Surya →

Bayu Pranata — Head Chef, Grill & Live Fire

Bayu runs our open-flame fine dining — Wagyu over charcoal, whole fish, the dramatic centrepiece courses — with the confidence of a chef who has cooked over live fire for decades. When your menu says "open flame," it is usually Bayu's fire. Book Bayu Pranata →

Ni Putu Asri — Head Chef, Balinese & Asian Fusion

Gianyar-born and rooted in ceremonial cooking traditions, Asri leads the Indonesian fine-dining menus — bebek betutu reimagined for fine-dining plating, ceremonial dishes, modern Asian fusion — balancing authenticity, polish and warmth. Book Ni Putu Asri →

Dessert courses across the brigade are led by Head Pastry Chef Wayan Suarjana — chocolate work, plated desserts and petit fours — whose profile sits with the full team.

Trained to One Standard

Every myCHEF chef completes six to twelve months of in-house training under Adriano before leading a booking: myCHEF recipes, villa-kitchen workflows, guest communication, plating standards and cleanup protocol. Every chef passes a background check, food-safety certification review and an in-person skills assessment. Mediterranean menus go to Mediterranean specialists; live-fire menus go to grill chefs. We match the chef to the menu — never the reverse.

Requesting a Specific Chef

  1. Message us your date and guest count — villa area, dinner style, and your preferred chef if you have one
  2. We check availability — and recommend the closest-fit brigade chef if your first choice is booked
  3. We confirm your chef — a 50% deposit locks the chef, the menu direction and the arrival plan

Note: the Chef's Table is Adriano only. If he is unavailable, we rebook rather than substitute.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I choose my own chef? Yes, subject to availability — tell us who you want when you message and we check that chef first.

What if my preferred chef is unavailable? We recommend the closest-fit alternative by menu style and group size, or help you rebook for a date when your chef is free.

Is Adriano available for all bookings? No. Adriano leads the Chef's Table (Friday & Saturday), signature tasting menus and select collaborations. The brigade runs the wider set-menu calendar to his standard.

Are the chefs vetted? Yes — background check, food-safety certification review and an in-person skills assessment before any chef leads a booking.

Can I meet the chef before booking? Yes — we arrange a WhatsApp intro call to align on style, dietary needs and the kind of evening you want.
