Mediterranean Private Chef Menu
Scottsdale & Phoenix
Sun-Drenched Flavors,
Right at Your Table
The Mediterranean table is one of the world's most celebrated culinary traditions — vibrant, communal, and rooted in ingredients so good they need very little done to them. Chef Anthony Primera's Mediterranean private chef menu brings those same sun-drenched flavors from the coasts of Greece, Lebanon, Turkey, and southern Spain directly to your Scottsdale or Phoenix home. Think briny olives, charred flatbreads, hand-picked herbs, and proteins that have been marinated, rested, and cooked with patience.
This menu is extraordinarily versatile. It scales beautifully from an intimate dinner for two to a sweeping mezze feast for twenty. The mezze format — where multiple small plates arrive simultaneously — creates a naturally convivial atmosphere that encourages guests to linger, share, and try everything. It also gives Chef Primera the opportunity to showcase the full breadth of a cuisine that spans thousands of miles of coastline and centuries of culinary refinement.
Chef Primera sources high-quality olive oils, imported feta, and fresh-catch seafood specifically for each event. Everything is made to order in your kitchen. Explore our full private chef service to see what's included, or book your Mediterranean dinner in Scottsdale or Phoenix today.

One of the great pleasures of the Mediterranean table is how naturally it accommodates diverse guests. Chef Primera's menu can be adapted for vegetarian, gluten-free, or dairy-free needs without losing any of its character or elegance. The spice blends, the fresh herbs, and the quality of the olive oil carry every dish regardless of what's added or removed.

Frequently Asked
Questions
Is the Mediterranean menu good for large groups?
It's one of our best options for groups. The mezze format is inherently social and scalable — Chef Primera can expand the mezze selection and main courses to accommodate 6 to 20 guests comfortably without sacrificing quality or timing.
Can the Mediterranean menu be made vegetarian?
Absolutely. Many dishes on this menu are already vegetarian, and the mezze format makes it easy to create a fully plant-based feast. Chef Primera will work with you in advance to ensure the menu satisfies every guest.
Does Chef Primera make the pita bread from scratch?
For most events, yes. Fresh flatbread is baked in your oven the evening of the event. If your kitchen setup doesn't support it, Chef Primera sources high-quality artisan pita from local bakeries.
How is the Mediterranean menu priced?
Pricing is based on number of guests, number of courses, and ingredient costs. The mezze-forward format is often a great value for groups because it covers a wide spread. <a href='/#book' style='color: var(--gold);'>Request a quote</a> for your event.

Primarily Greek, Lebanese, and Spanish coastal traditions, with influences from Turkish and Moroccan cooking. If you have a specific regional preference, mention it during the consultation and Chef Primera will tailor the menu accordingly.
