Designed around them
Favorite pasta shape, favorite sauce, the dessert from their childhood. We build the menu around the guest of honor, not a fixed list.
A reservation at a restaurant tells the birthday person what to expect. A private chef inside their own dining room — handmade pasta, custom menu cards, the room set the way they like it — doesn't. Linea designs intimate birthday dinners for 2 to 14, plated coursed-style, in homes across Nashville.
We design the menu around the guest of honor — favorite dish, favorite course, the wine they actually drink. Surprise dinners, milestone birthdays, quiet two-tops on the actual day.
Favorite pasta shape, favorite sauce, the dessert from their childhood. We build the menu around the guest of honor, not a fixed list.
Quiet coordination with whoever's planning. We arrive while they're out and have the room set when they walk in.
Printed menu cards with the name, the date, and the courses. They keep them; we've seen them framed.
Four courses, restaurant pacing, hosted from your dining room. No drive home after wine pairings.
We recommend the pairings; you grab the bottles from a Nashville shop. Cost stays with you, cellar stays yours.
Kitchens are returned cleaner than we found them. The birthday morning isn't dishes.


Full menu, per-person pricing, package options. No spam — we'll send it once and maybe check in once after.
Tell us about your gathering and Chef Joshua will design the evening with you.
