Zagara Dining brings elevated Italian and Mediterranean-inspired private dining directly to vacation homes throughout Orlando and the Disney-area communities. We create personalized in-home dining experiences for family dinners, birthdays, reunions, and special celebrations, with menu planning, on-site cooking, service, and cleanup included.
Rather than loading everyone back into the car after a park day, the chef comes to you: cooking in your villa's kitchen, serving at your own table, and leaving it clean before heading out. It pairs naturally with an evening of in-villa childcare on the night the adults want a grown-up dinner of their own.
It works for any size of party, but comes into its own in a bigger house. A six bedroom villa seats one large family around a single table, and ten bedroom homes near Disney give a reunion or milestone birthday the dining room it deserves.

Nights Worth Booking a Chef For
The dinners guests tell us they remember are rarely the restaurant ones.
Arrival night — Nobody wants to shop or cook after a flight. A booked dinner means the first evening is pool time, not a supermarket run.
A milestone birthday — A multi-course Italian dinner at your own table, with the candles and the cake handled, beats a crowded restaurant every time.
The reunion dinner — When three generations are under one roof, the meal where everyone finally sits down together is the point of the trip.
A grown-ups' evening — Book a sitter for the kids, and the adults get a proper dinner without leaving the villa.
Planning Your In-Villa Dinner
Book before you travel — dates around the holidays and spring break fill early, so send the inquiry once your stay is confirmed.
Share allergies and ages up front — menus are built around the group, and a kids' course or a gluten-free guest is easy to plan for in advance.
Check the table seats everyone — most of our homes have a dining table plus an outdoor one by the pool; tell the chef which you'd like to use.
Pass on the gate details — resort communities have guard gates, so add the chef's arrival to your guest list on the day.
Dinner Where the Vacation Is
A private-pool villa is meant to be enjoyed, and the evening is when it earns its keep: the pool lit up, the kids still in the water, and nobody waiting on a table across town. Zagara Dining turns that evening into the meal of the trip, with the cooking and the clearing up handled by someone else. Inquire through the link below, then come back and choose the villa with the kitchen to match.

Plan Your Experience →Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book Zagara Dining for my stay?
Use the Plan Your Experience form on Zagara Dining's website with your dates, group size and occasion. Bookings and payment are arranged directly with Zagara, separately from your villa reservation with Florida Premier Rentals.
Does the chef use the villa's kitchen?
Yes. The chef brings the ingredients, cooks in your vacation home's kitchen, serves at your table and cleans up afterwards. Every home we manage has a full kitchen, so no extra equipment is needed on your side.
Can the menu be adapted for children or dietary needs?
Menus are planned with you in advance, so allergies, vegetarian or gluten-free guests and a simpler course for younger children can all be built in. Mention them when you send your inquiry.
