Private Chef Frank has spent over 20 years shaping Pittsburgh’s dining scene — from Caesars Palace to PNC Park, and now into your home. With roots in Italian culinary tradition and a career spanning fine dining, country clubs, and award-winning restaurants, he transforms every private dinner into a personalized experience.

When CBS Pittsburgh invited me back to cook on air, I wanted to bring something that captured the taste of summer — light, fresh, and full of heart. I shared my most requested seasonal menu: mini crab cakes with lemon aioli, grilled watermelon salad, and chocolate chip cannoli inspired by my Italian roots. In this article, I share what it was like behind the scenes, why these dishes mean so much to me, and what it truly means to be a private chef in Pittsburgh.

If you’re thinking about hiring a private chef in Pittsburgh — whether it’s for a special occasion, an anniversary dinner, a family gathering, or just a break from takeout — I want to help make that process easier for you.
