I bring Brazilian soul and Italian finesse to bespoke private dining in Perth.

Juliane Nicolini

I craft refined Brazilian–Italian dining with heart

I am a professionally trained chef with a Culinary Diploma from the New Zealand Culinary School and a Pastry Certificate from Le Cordon Bleu, where I completed internationally recognised programs that shaped my commitment to excellence and refined technique. I also hold a Wine Course Certificate, so I confidently suggest pairings that elevate every dish I serve.

I have catered for fine dining restaurants and luxury five-star hotels, perfecting flavour, presentation, and service. My journey has been international—especially in Italy, where I learned classics like Carbonara, Ragù alla Romana, and perfected Tiramisu—yet my soul is Brazilian. I fuse vibrant Brazilian flavours with elegant Italian technique to create bespoke dining experiences at home in Perth.
