We had the absolute pleasure of having Chef Max cook for our family’s holiday feast, and it was truly unforgettable. The prime rib was cooked to perfection — tender, flavorful, and beautifully presented. And the focaccia… I think my exact words were, “This is the best meal I’ve ever had!” My granddaughter is still talking about that bread! Every detail, from the seasoning to the timing, was spot on. Chef Max made our gathering feel so special — we’re already dreaming about the next one.

I've hired Chef Maximilian DiMare for a number of events and can't wait to work with him again. The food is always creative, fresh, and delicious. The service is impeccably professional, collaborative, and reliable.

Often, he makes many of the Italian and Sicilian dishes I grew up eating, and every bite brings me right back home.

Chef Maximilian DiMare brings together the flavors of his Sicilian heritage and the skills of a celebrated restaurant career to create memorable dining experiences. A Boston native, Max grew up surrounded by the culinary traditions of his family, who are from Augusta, a seaside town in Sicily.
In the kitchens of his Nana Carmella and father, Domenic, he learned that the key to great cooking is treating ingredients with respect and crafting dishes with technique and restraint.
By his early 20s, Max was leading kitchens in the Bay Area, helping launch beloved restaurants like Frascati in San Francisco and Wood Tavern in Oakland—earning recognition such as a Rising Star Chef award and three stars for Wood Tavern from Michael Bauer of the San Francisco Chronicle.
Today, through Augusta, named in honor of his family’s Italian roots, Chef Max brings restaurant-level quality and Mediterranean tradition to private events, holiday meals, and weekly dining.
Every meal is more than just a menu. It’s a moment to connect, celebrate, and create memories that last. Whether it’s an intimate dinner, a festive holiday, or nourishing meals for your week, Augusta brings restaurant-quality food to your table so you can live more in the moment.
