  • Masahiro Nishio, Country Inn Milky House (Japan)

    “Raph brought a completely new approach to our kitchen. His dishes were grounded in Japanese ingredients but expressed with Italian balance and soul. Our guests felt the difference, and our team grew from his training. It was more than a collaboration, it was a turning point”

  • Jenny Tran, Napoli Pop-Up (Germany)

    “We came to Raph for a new pizza slice concept, and he delivered far more than we imagined—signature sauces, topping prep systems, and a clear seasonal rotation plan. Our first launch sold out. His work brings structure and flavor.”

  • Rolandas Kijuc - Ghost Kitchen (Lithuania)

    "Very active and helpful, attention to details. Patient with many revisions to make a complete recipe list based on our needs"

  • Marco D’Alessio, Slice Society (UK)

    Working with Raph transformed our pizza offering. He created seasonal toppings that surprised our customers while staying true to our identity. Deep ingredient knowledge. We’ve never had this kind of response from just a menu change”

  • Bill Bradley, Mediterranean Living Blog (USA)

    "Raph did great work. He contributed many traditional Italian recipes plus writeups and pictures. He is truly a professional and passionate”

  • Abdullah, Mexican & Healthy Take Away (Egypt)

    "We glad we chose Raph for the job, not only is he skillful and passionate about his profession but also took complete ownership of the project and treat it as if it's his own he made sure he fully understood the scoop of the project”
