Chef Olintho · San Francisco Bay Area
The Standard Doesn’t Change. The Table Does.
Private chef service shaped by more than two decades in professional kitchens — for private dining and bespoke catering, ongoing household and executive programs, and culinary residencies.
20+ Years Experience · San Francisco Bay Area
Who This Is For
A Household
Dinner handled the way it’s always wanted to be handled — thoughtfully, quietly, without a second thought. One evening or every week.
A Team or Founder
The same standard applied to daily meals, leadership dinners, and the moments that matter in front of investors and clients.
Different rooms. One culinary standard.
Chef Rafael Olintho
More Than Two Decades in Hospitality
Rafael Olintho brings that experience to every relationship. Menus, service, and the team behind them are shaped around the people at the table — with the same attention whether it’s one evening or an ongoing culinary program.
The Experience
However You Gather
Private Dining
One evening, one guest list, and the full attention of a kitchen built for exactly this table.
Ongoing Culinary Service
The same standard, arriving on a rhythm — daily or weekly, shaped around how a household or a team actually eats.
Larger Gatherings
Service that scales without losing the details that make a table feel considered, not catered.

Built Around What You Need.
Some relationships begin with a single dinner. Others become part of the rhythm of a household, a founder’s residence, or a team. There is no prescribed format — the relationship takes shape around how you live, work, and gather.
For teams and companies building a standing program, the Executive Culinary Program outlines what that looks like.
