I create holistic, tailor-made dining experiences that turn a shared meal into a lasting memory.

Mariano Melluso

I cook to reconnect you with presence, taste, and the simple beauty of sharing.

My name is Mariano — a chef and a seeker of authentic human experiences. After years in fine kitchens, I discovered that my true inspiration doesn’t live in restaurants, but in people, silence, and the quiet power of a table where food becomes memory.

That’s why I created BLOKES – Holistic Cuisine: I bring tailor-made experiences into villas and private homes, with dishes that follow nature’s rhythm. My cooking isn’t about luxury — it’s about presence, and about restoring harmony between body, mind, and soul through what truly nourishes us.

Connection is my compass: I nourish body, soul, and relationships with taste and awareness.

What you can expect when you invite me to your table

I cook for connection

For me, cooking is connection: I use taste and awareness to nourish the body, support the soul, and strengthen relationships through a shared moment.

I blend training with curiosity

I learned to cook by combining professional training with a lifelong curiosity for flavors, culture, and people, and I bring that openness into every tailor-made experience.

I keep it joyful

My secret in the kitchen is simple: I keep cooking joyful, so the energy at the table feels light, present, and truly alive.
