Billy Moschella, Jr., Private Chef in Park City

4.7 ★ over 52 ratings

Twenty-five years of restaurant and pastry work, brought up the canyon from $155 a guest.

everything in, per head

What Billy charges

Four menus, each with its own per-guest figure. Shopping, cooking, plating and the washing-up are already inside every number below.

$155/guest

Latin American Dinner

4 plates · 3 guests and up

His entry price and the most relaxed of his formats. Four courses, built with you rather than picked off a card.

Billy writes every menu with the client. Vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free and dairy-free builds are all on request at the same price. Weather and a hard-to-reach address can add a travel fee, and he says so before you book rather than after.

$190/guest

Surf and Turf

4 plates · 3 guests and up

Steak and shellfish on the same plate, which is what half the houses up here ask for anyway.

Cuts and shellfish get chosen with you once the date is set. Same dietary options, same travel note as the rest of his menus.

$208/guest

Chef's Specialties, with wine

4 plates · wine included

His own picks, four courses, with basic wine pairings already inside the per-guest figure rather than billed on top.

The pairings are included in the number, not added at the end. Dishes are agreed beforehand as with everything else he cooks.

$254/guest

Candlelight Dinner for Two

4 plates · a table of two only

The most expensive thing anyone on this site sells, and it only exists at a table of two. Priced per guest like everything else, which is why the figure looks the way it does.

Two guests, no more, no fewer. Built with you the same way as his other menus.

Nothing here quite right? The per-guest logic holds for anything Billy quotes off the list too — you see the figure with the menu, before you agree to a date.

About Billy

Billy has more logged dinners than anyone else here — fifty-two rated evenings — and he was raised into it, born into a family of restaurateurs and then twenty-five years across most corners of the trade. He is a cook and a pastry chef, which is rarer than it sounds and means dessert is not an afterthought on his menus. His model is deliberately loose: he would rather build a menu with you than sell you a printed one, and he will just as happily leave a week of labelled, reheatable food in the fridge as plate a four-course dinner. He drives up from the Salt Lake Valley, and he is upfront that a bad-weather night to a hard-to-reach property can carry a travel fee.

  • Fifty-two rated dinners — the longest track record on this roster
  • Cook and pastry chef both, so the dessert course is not bought in
  • Will also leave a week of reheatable meals rather than cook a dinner
