Bio

For Aaron Skoultchi, cooking has always been about using his hands and being around people. His earliest food memories are of cooking with his mother — who is Japanese and Costa Rican — preparing the dishes of her heritage together. Those moments shaped both his palate and the reason he cooks: handcrafted food, made with people rather than just for them.

Over more than fifteen years he has built a career in high-end hospitality, working in acclaimed restaurants, luxury hotels and resorts. He started in Nashville and soon after opened his first restaurant in Dallas, learning the discipline and polish of fine dining from the inside out.

The years that followed were about discovering what he loved most — from running intimate, bistro-style rooms to executing multi-course tasting menus. Across all of it, the constant was the same: creating small, memorable moments of hospitality. To Aaron, those matter more than any award or write-up, and they are exactly what drew him to private dining.

His cooking pairs classic Japanese, Italian and French technique with local, seasonal ingredients, taking familiar methods and applying them to different produce to create plates that are approachable yet quietly impressive. That Italian and Mediterranean thread makes him a natural fit for anyone seeking Italian catering in Nashville with a genuine private-chef touch.

Warm and easy company at the table, Aaron is at his best curating a personal experience — tailoring each menu to the occasion, cooking with meticulous care, and connecting with guests as he works. He believes food is how you build a moment people remember, and he treats every dinner as a chance to create exactly that.

Working as a private chef in Nashville, Aaron brings restaurant-caliber cooking into private homes for intimate dinners, celebrations and special gatherings. Whatever the occasion, his aim is simple: handcrafted food, genuine hospitality and a curated experience that leaves a lasting impression long after the plates are cleared.
