So what is Socca?

We help hosts spend less time planning, cooking, and setting up, and more time enjoying the people around their table.Sōcca exists to make gathering effortless through chef-led dining, thoughtful design, and attentive service. Sōcca is a fully designed in-home dining experience that brings together a private chef, professional service, curated tablescape, and thoughtful hospitality into one seamless evening.

How is Socca different from hiring a private chef?

Our chef partners are the heart of every Sōcca experience. Sōcca coordinates guest communication, dietary restrictions and allergies, menu selections, seating considerations, service staff, tablescape design, dinnerware, décor, setup, and cleanup. We also work directly with the chef behind the scenes to communicate guest needs, discuss menu recommendations, suggest beverage pairings, and ensure every detail is thoughtfully considered before the evening begins.By handling the planning, logistics, and hospitality details, we're able to give our chefs the freedom to focus on their craft while creating a seamless experience for hosts and guests alike.
