Some nights you don't want a fancy tasting menu — you want a big, comforting plate of pasta that makes the whole table happy. That's Villa Dinner #3: hearty spaghetti and meatballs in a rich marinara, a fresh mixed salad, warm garlic pita, crispy cheese crisps, and fruit-flavored ice cream for dessert. Your private chef in Jacó cooks it all fresh in your rental kitchen and serves it right at your table — no restaurant, no wait, no cleanup for you. It's one of the most-loved family menus at www.jacobeachchef.com, and it's an easy win with kids, big groups, and anyone who just loves classic comfort food.
What's on the plate
This one is built for sharing. Tender meatballs simmered in a savory tomato marinara over a generous bed of spaghetti, plus a bright mixed salad with ranch dressing, soft pita bread brushed with garlic salt, and golden cheese crisps on the side. Dessert is a scoop (or three) of fruit-flavored ice cream — a hit with the little ones. Round it out with fresh lemonade, soda, beer, wine, or cold water. It's a full, satisfying spread that feels like a family dinner back home, only with someone else doing the cooking and the dishes.
The easiest crowd to please
Spaghetti and meatballs is the menu I reach for when there's a mix of ages and appetites at the table. Kids love it, picky eaters love it, and even the adults go back for seconds. I bring everything, cook it fresh in your kitchen, plate each serving, and clean up before I leave — so you get a relaxed, home-cooked family night without lifting a finger. I cook throughout Jacó, Herradura, Los Sueños, and Playa Hermosa.
Perfect for families and big groups
Because it's served family-style, this menu scales beautifully for a houseful of guests — think big villa rentals, reunions, or a laid-back night in after a long beach day. It's filling, familiar, and comforting, which is exactly what everyone wants after a day of sun and surf. Want to make it a bigger spread? Ask about adding a starter, a private bartender, or an extra dessert and I'll build the evening around your group.
Cooked fresh, served hot
The secret to great spaghetti and meatballs is timing, and that's where a private chef beats takeout every time. The meatballs come out of the pan hot, the pasta is cooked to order, the pita is warm, and the salad stays crisp — everything hits the table at its best instead of arriving lukewarm in a bag. No one's running to a restaurant, no one's stuck cooking, and no one's scrubbing a single pot afterward.
Simple pricing, no surprises
Villa Dinner #3 runs on the same honest private-chef pricing as every menu — a flat rate per person, per plate, plus the cost of groceries and a small service charge — which keeps me cheaper than nearly every other private chef in Jacó.
