My name is Simona Fabrizio. Though I graduated law school, my passion for food took me in a different direction I qualified at the Federazione Italiana Sommelier as a Sommelier and at the Gambero Rosso School as a Chef. Since 2010 I am an Italian chef based in Orvieto, Umbria, where I am running my own small business ‘Sagraincasa’ I started with a cookery school in my farmhouse followed by a Garden to Plate Project, in which many international Chefs participated. I worked many years as a Private Chef and I had the pleasure to be a Guest Chef in many international events. Stronger, wiser and even more passionate on sharing my cooking, the Sagraincasa’s team has evolved and grown and recently I joined forces with Chef Laura and Riccardo Paoletti, gourmet entrepreneurs. This cooperation has lifted Sagraincasa‘s services to an even higher level. We provide private Chef services, catering for weddings, creating personalised menus for a varied clientele. We are passionate about food, using organic vegetables from local farmers. I produce oil from my olive grove and also have a small vineyard. Our satisfaction is in sharing our products with those who value “il buon cibo”
