Chef & Sommelier Knives, Forks & Spoons

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo dessert knife is a well-proportioned piece from a classically styled flatware range. The Lazzo pattern is defined by its teardrop handle profile, which tapers smoothly into the neck of each piece, giving the cutlery a clean, fluid appearance that sits comfortably on a formally dressed table without appearing fussy or dated.

Produced in 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, the knives carry a solid weight in the hand — substantial enough to feel considered rather than lightweight, which matters in settings where customers notice the quality of cover items. The 18/10 steel grade gives good resistance to staining and tarnishing under regular commercial dishwasher cycles, which is a practical consideration for any site putting cutlery through heavy daily rotation.

For front-of-house teams, a few operational points are worth noting:

• 4mm gauge construction gives a balanced feel without excessive weight
• 18/10 stainless resists tarnishing through repeated dishwasher cycles
• Teardrop handle profile presents well on both formal and casual covers
• Sold in packs of 12, which maps neatly to standard cover planning
• Consistent finish across the Lazzo range supports a uniform table lay

The Lazzo range is best suited to restaurants, hotels, and function venues looking for a reliable, smartly presented cutlery pattern that will hold up under daily commercial use. It sits in the mid-range of the Chef & Sommelier catalogue — suitable for most dining environments, though sites requiring a heavier or more formal weight profile may want to consider other patterns within the range.

If you're building or refreshing a flatware selection and want to talk through quantities, mix of pieces, or how Lazzo compares to other available patterns, the team is happy to help you work it through.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo dessert knife is part of a well-regarded flatware range designed for professional table service. Made from 18/10 stainless steel with a notably heavy 5mm gauge, these knives offer a solid, balanced feel in the hand — a quality that tends to read well to diners and holds up reliably in the wash cycle routines of a busy operation.

In a commercial setting, cutlery takes a significant amount of daily punishment: repeated machine washing, handling, stacking, and the occasional drop. The Ezzo range is built with that in mind. The 18/10 grade provides good resistance to corrosion and staining, and the weight of the gauge helps the pieces retain their appearance over time without becoming visually tired after a few months of service.

The rounded handle profile and curved lines give the Ezzo a contemporary look that works across a range of dining styles — from modern bistro settings through to more formal restaurant environments. Practically speaking, the shape is comfortable to hold and straightforward to handle during service.

• Sold in packs of 12, making it straightforward to order in service-relevant quantities
• Heavy gauge construction holds up well to repeated commercial dishwashing
• 18/10 stainless steel resists staining and maintains a consistent finish
• Suits a broad range of table settings without looking out of place

If you are building out a full table cover or matching to existing Ezzo pieces, or if you are unsure which pack quantity suits your cover count and rotation cycle, we are happy to help you work through the numbers before you order.

The Chef & Sommelier Diaz dessert fork is a clean-lined flatware piece in 18/10 stainless steel, sold in packs of twelve. It is a straightforward, well-made cutlery option for operations where consistent table presentation and daily commercial dishwashing are both facts of life.

18/10 stainless steel is the practical standard for commercial flatware. The higher nickel content gives it good resistance to rust and surface staining even under repeated exposure to the heat and detergents used in commercial warewashers. The Diaz pattern's restrained, contemporary profile means it tends to hold its appearance through regular service cycles without the finish deterioration that cheaper grades can show over time.

A few points worth considering before ordering:

• 18/10 grade performs well under daily commercial dishwasher use
• Contemporary pattern suits formal, smart-casual, and hotel dining settings
• Packs of 12 make it simple to order in line with cover counts
• Finish holds up against standard commercial warewashing chemicals
• Works alongside other pieces in the Diaz range for a cohesive table setting

This fork is well suited to restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and event catering operations that want a modern aesthetic without moving into heavily decorative flatware. For very high-turnover venues placing large initial orders, or where a specific weight or balance is important to the brief, it is worth having a conversation with us before committing to quantity.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo fish fork is a commercial-grade flatware piece designed for restaurant and hospitality table settings. Produced in 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, the Lazzo pattern features a distinctive teardrop handle that tapers fluidly toward the neck of each piece, giving the range a considered, timeless appearance without being fussy or overtly decorative. Supplied in packs of twelve, the range is structured around the practical buying quantities that most operators work to.

In a front-of-house environment, cutlery takes a significant amount of daily punishment — repeated machine washing, stacking, and handling by service staff. The 18/10 stainless steel construction offers reliable corrosion resistance and holds its finish well under that kind of sustained use, which is an important consideration when selecting flatware for regular covers. The 4mm gauge gives each piece a solid feel in the hand without being overly heavy, which tends to suit mid- to upper-casual dining settings well.

The Lazzo range is a practical choice for operations that want a consistent, well-finished table setting that holds up over time. It suits restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and event catering operations where a polished but understated aesthetic is appropriate. If you are outfitting a high-volume canteen or staff dining facility where durability is the primary consideration over appearance, a heavier commercial pattern may be worth considering instead.

If you are building out a full flatware specification or matching pieces across a range, we are happy to help ensure everything works together before you commit to quantities.

The Diaz cake fork from Chef & Sommelier is a slender, contemporary-profile pastry fork intended for dessert, patisserie, and afternoon tea service. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, it sits within the more refined end of the Chef & Sommelier flatware range and suits settings where table presentation is taken seriously — restaurants, hotels, private dining, and café patisseries.

18/10 stainless steel is a reliable choice for commercial flatware. The higher nickel content gives it good resistance to staining and corrosion, which matters when pieces are going through commercial dishwashers multiple times a day. Over time it holds its finish better than lower-grade alloys, which can dull or develop surface pitting with repeated high-temperature wash cycles. For an operation running consistent covers, that durability is worth factoring in when comparing against cheaper alternatives.

From a practical standpoint, the Diaz fork works well where a lighter, more elegant piece is appropriate to the occasion — the slender profile fits naturally alongside fine crockery without looking out of place. Key practical points for operators:

• 18/10 construction handles repeated commercial dishwashing reliably
• Contemporary profile suited to formal, hotel, and patisserie environments
• Sold in packs of 12 for straightforward stock management
• Consistent finish supports cohesive table presentation across covers
• Well suited to cake, dessert, and afternoon tea service

When ordering, it is worth thinking through your cover count and how many sittings you run — operators turning tables quickly will generally want enough stock in circulation to avoid mid-service rewashing. If you are building out a complete cutlery range or are unsure on quantities, we are happy to talk through what makes sense for your operation.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo fish knife is a well-proportioned table knife designed specifically for fish courses. Its distinctive rounded handle profile and curved lines give it a softer, more considered aesthetic than standard flatware, making it a practical choice for restaurants and hotels where table presentation matters without the need for overly formal or ornate cutlery. Supplied in packs of twelve, it is sized for front-of-house table service rather than kitchen preparation.

Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel with a 5mm gauge, the Ezzo range is built to withstand the rigours of commercial dishwashing and repeated daily use. The higher nickel content in 18/10 stainless steel helps maintain a consistent finish over time and resists the surface dulling that can affect lower-grade cutlery after extended service.

• Suitable for restaurant fish courses, set menus, and banquet service
• Holds up well to commercial dishwasher cycles
• Consistent finish across a pack, supporting uniform table presentation
• Comfortable handle profile for guests across extended dining occasions

As with any cutlery purchase for a cover count, it is worth considering how many covers you turn per service and whether your current storage and handling arrangements suit the piece count. If you are building out a full Ezzo place setting or need guidance on quantities for your operation, the team is happy to help you work through it.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo fish fork is a mid-course piece designed for restaurant and hotel table settings where presentation matters alongside durability. The Ezzo pattern features a rounded handle profile with flowing, curved lines that sit comfortably in the hand and give the place setting a considered, contemporary feel without being overtly decorative.

Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel, the cutlery carries a good level of chromium and nickel content, which supports corrosion resistance and helps the finish hold up well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The gauge is substantial enough to feel solid in use without being heavy, which is a practical consideration when guests are handling it multiple times through a service.

For front-of-house teams, a few points are worth noting:

• Sold in packs of 12, making stock ordering straightforward for cover-count planning
• 18/10 stainless construction resists tarnishing and pitting under regular machine washing
• The rounded handle shape polishes and dries consistently, reducing time at the cutlery station
• The design coordinates within the broader Ezzo range for a unified table setting
• Suitable for fish courses across formal dining, hotel restaurants, and function catering

This pattern is well suited to establishments running structured table d'hôte or à la carte menus where a dedicated fish course is standard. If you are equipping a high-turnover banqueting operation and need to assess quantities or consider alternative patterns with different handle weights, our team is happy to talk through what suits your service best.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo dessert fork is part of a well-established flatware pattern, recognisable by its teardrop-shaped handle that tapers cleanly into the neck of each piece. The design is understated and consistent — qualities that matter when building a cohesive table setting across a busy dining room. Supplied in packs of twelve, the Lazzo range is sold in dozens, which aligns with standard catering stock quantities and makes it straightforward to build up covers or replace individual pieces over time.

Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel at a 4mm gauge, these forks offer the weight and rigidity expected in a professional setting. The 18/10 grade gives good resistance to tarnishing and staining under regular commercial dishwasher cycles, which is a practical consideration for any operation running high cover counts and frequent turnaround. The handle profile is comfortable to hold and polishes consistently, maintaining a presentable appearance across a long service life.

The Lazzo pattern suits operations where a classic, fluid aesthetic is preferred without veering into heavily decorative territory. It sits comfortably in restaurants, hotel dining, event catering, and similar hospitality environments where presentation matters but durability is equally important. For operations requiring a simpler or more contemporary profile, alternative patterns within the range may be worth considering.

If you are building out a full Lazzo cover or matching to existing pieces already in service, we are happy to help confirm compatibility or advise on quantities for your specific cover count.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo lunch cake fork is a compact, well-proportioned piece designed for use in cafés, restaurants, and hospitality settings where pastries, cakes, and light desserts are served. Made from 18/10 stainless steel with a 5mm gauge, it has a solid feel in the hand without being overly heavy — a balance that works well in front-of-house environments where cutlery is handled repeatedly throughout service.

The Ezzo pattern is characterised by rounded handles and gently curved lines, giving it a clean, contemporary look that sits comfortably across a range of table styles — from casual café covers to more considered restaurant settings. It reads as modern without being stark, which makes it a versatile option for operators who want consistent cutlery across different service formats.

In practical terms, 18/10 stainless steel offers good resistance to corrosion and stands up reliably to commercial dishwasher cycles. The gauge adds durability, reducing the likelihood of bending or warping under regular use and washing — a consideration worth noting for high-turnover operations.

• Suitable for cake, pastry, and light dessert service
• Consistent finish holds well through repeated machine washing
• Rounded handle profile comfortable for front-of-house use
• Sold in dozens, practical for bulk stock management
• Contemporary pattern suits a range of hospitality settings

This fork is well suited to cafés, hotel afternoon tea service, restaurant dessert covers, and similar front-of-house applications. If you are equipping a larger site or need a fuller Ezzo place setting, the range extends across other piece types.

If you are putting together a full cutlery selection or have questions about quantities for your covers, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Ezzo dinner knife from Chef & Sommelier is a hollow-handle table knife finished in 18/10 stainless steel, supplied in packs of twelve. The hollow handle construction gives the piece a balanced, substantial feel without adding unnecessary weight, and the softly curved profile sits comfortably between contemporary and traditional styling — making it a straightforward choice across a range of dining environments.

Guests handle knives more than any other piece on the table, and the Ezzo holds up well to that repeated contact. The polished finish presents cleanly under dining room lighting and retains its appearance through regular commercial dishwasher cycles without the tarnishing or pitting that can affect lower-grade steel over time.

A few practical points worth noting for day-to-day operation:

• 18/10 stainless steel resists staining and tarnishing through normal commercial wash cycles
• Hollow handle construction means prolonged soaking or very high-temperature wash programmes can stress the bonded joint — standard cycle temperatures and prompt removal from the machine are advisable
• Supplied in dozens, which keeps stock management clean when ordering to cover attrition or increase covers
• Consistent finish allows the knife to sit alongside other pieces in the Ezzo range for a complete, uniform place setting

This knife is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and event caterers running mid-range to premium covers who need a presentable, reliable pattern at a sensible price. It is less suited to high-turnover canteen or staff dining environments, where a solid-handle knife in a lower-grade steel tends to offer better long-term durability under heavy-handed use and aggressive washing routines.

If you are specifying cutlery across a full cover count or want to discuss quantities relative to your service volume, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Chef & Sommelier Diaz demi tasse spoon is a slender, small-format coffee spoon designed for espresso and demi tasse service. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, it carries the corrosion resistance and polish retention that commercial operations need from cutlery that goes through a commercial dishwasher multiple times each day. Supplied in packs of twelve, it fits naturally into restaurant and café ordering quantities.

In practice, 18/10 stainless steel at this gauge holds up well to frequent washing and the occasional knock of a busy pass. The finish resists the dulling and spotting that affects lower-grade alloys over time, which matters when cutlery is placed directly in front of guests. The Diaz range carries a contemporary, slender profile that sits well on a formally set table without looking out of place in a more relaxed modern dining environment.

Practical advantages for front-of-house teams include:

• 18/10 stainless construction resists staining and retains its finish through repeated dishwasher cycles
• Consistent form across the range supports uniform table presentation
• Pack quantity aligns with typical cover counts and stock rotation needs
• Slender profile suits demi tasse and espresso cups across common tableware ranges

As with any cutlery purchase for a new or expanding operation, it is worth considering total cover count, expected losses, and how this range sits alongside existing flatware before ordering. The Diaz range is one of several profiles available within the Chef & Sommelier portfolio, so if you are building a full cutlery set or matching to an existing table plan, there may be a better-suited option within the range.

If you are unsure which profile or pack quantity best suits your service style, we are happy to talk it through.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo tea knife is a well-proportioned piece of table cutlery designed for professional food service environments. Formed from 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, each knife features the Lazzo range's signature teardrop handle, which tapers smoothly into the neck — giving the piece a clean, consistent appearance that sits comfortably in both contemporary and traditional table settings. The pack contains twelve pieces, making it a practical buying unit for operators stocking or topping up a section.

In day-to-day service, 18/10 stainless steel offers good resistance to tarnishing and corrosion, which matters in high-throughput environments where cutlery passes through commercial dishwashers repeatedly. The 4mm gauge construction gives the handle reasonable weight and feel in the hand without being unnecessarily heavy — the kind of balance that tends to read well to guests without drawing attention to itself.

Practically, the Lazzo range suits operators who want a consistent, coordinated table setting across a full cutlery suite. Key practical points worth noting:

• 18/10 stainless steel grade supports regular commercial dishwasher cycles
• Teardrop handle profile sits securely in the hand during use
• Uniform gauge across the range aids a consistent table presentation
• Sold in dozens — a sensible unit for par stock management

This is a mid-weight pattern well suited to restaurants, hotels, and function venues running table service. If your operation requires a heavier gauge or a different handle profile for a more formal setting, there are alternative patterns worth considering.

If you're building out a full table setting or matching to an existing range, it's worth having a conversation with us before ordering — we can help you confirm compatibility and quantities across the suite.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo fish knife is part of a well-regarded cutlery range designed for consistent use in restaurant and hospitality environments. Produced in 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, the Lazzo pattern features a distinctive teardrop handle that tapers smoothly to the neck — a shape that sits comfortably in the hand and presents well on a dressed table. Supplied in packs of 12, it is a practical buying format for operators equipping a section or topping up an existing set.

In day-to-day service, 18/10 stainless steel holds up reliably through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The higher nickel content in 18/10 grade contributes to corrosion resistance and helps the pieces retain their finish over time, which matters when cutlery is handled and washed at volume. The 4mm gauge gives the knife a solid feel without being heavy, which tends to read well to guests.

The Lazzo pattern suits formal and semi-formal covers equally. Its fluid, classic profile works alongside a range of tableware styles without looking out of place, making it a straightforward choice when standardising across a dining room or private dining space.

It is worth confirming that your existing Lazzo or broader cutlery complement matches before ordering — some operators find it useful to check piece counts per cover and factor in attrition when placing quantities. If you are setting up a full cutlery suite or need guidance on quantities for a particular service volume, we are happy to help you work through it.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo soup spoon is part of a considered flatware range designed for professional table service. The Lazzo pattern is characterised by its teardrop handle profile, which tapers gradually towards the neck of each piece, giving the cutlery a clean, balanced appearance that works well across a range of dining settings — from bistros and hotel restaurants to contract catering environments.

Constructed from 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, these spoons are built to withstand the rigours of a busy cover cycle. The higher nickel content in 18/10 stainless steel contributes to corrosion resistance and helps the finish hold up through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without the surface dulling or pitting over time.

For a practical sense of what makes the Lazzo a reliable choice for service:

• Substantial 4mm gauge construction reduces the risk of bending under daily commercial use
• 18/10 stainless steel maintains a polished appearance through high-frequency dishwashing
• Classic teardrop handle shape is comfortable to hold and familiar to guests
• Neutral, timeless design suits a wide range of table settings and cuisines
• Sold in packs of 12, which aligns with standard restaurant cover management and stock rotation

These spoons are well suited to operations running set-menu or à la carte service where consistent cutlery presentation matters. The pack size of 12 is practical for operators building or supplementing a flatware set, though higher-volume sites covering 80 or more covers per sitting may want to consider purchasing multiple packs to allow for breakage allowance and dishwasher turnaround.

If you are standardising across a full flatware range or matching to existing Lazzo pieces, our team is happy to help confirm compatibility and advise on quantities before you order.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo butter knife is part of the Ezzo cutlery range, characterised by its rounded handle profile and softly curved lines. Finished in 18/10 stainless steel with a 5mm gauge, the pattern has a solid feel in the hand and holds up well to the repeated handling and commercial dishwashing cycles that come with regular restaurant use. This listing covers a pack of twelve pieces.

In a table service environment, butter knives take more handling than most items on the cover — passed between courses, collected frequently, and cycled through the wash several times a day. The Ezzo's heavier gauge helps it resist the bending and warping that can affect lighter-weight patterns over time, and the 18/10 steel composition provides reliable corrosion resistance under sustained dishwasher use.

From a practical standpoint, the pattern works well where operators want a consistent, contemporary look across the table without a heavily ornate design. Key points worth noting:

• 18/10 stainless steel construction for corrosion resistance in commercial dishwashers
• 5mm gauge provides durability under high-frequency service use
• Rounded handle profile suits a range of cover styles from modern to understated classic
• Sold in dozens, making stock management straightforward for FOH teams

As with any cutlery investment, it is worth considering your full cover count and budgeting for adequate back-of-house float to account for losses and rotation. The Ezzo sits within a broader range, so matching pieces across courses is straightforward if you are building out a full set.

If you are unsure how many dozens to order relative to your covers, or whether this pattern fits alongside other pieces you are already using, we are happy to talk it through.

The Lazzo dinner knife from Chef & Sommelier is a hollow-handled table knife produced in 18/10 stainless steel. The handle follows a teardrop profile that tapers gently towards the neck, giving the piece a clean, fluid appearance without decorative excess. The construction provides a reassuring weight and rigidity that holds up well in daily table service without feeling heavy in a guest's hand.

In a working dining room, cutlery is handled constantly — cleared, machine-washed, stacked, and reset across multiple covers a day. The 18/10 stainless steel specification is a practical choice for that environment, resisting staining and surface corrosion through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles better than lower-grade alloys. The hollow handle keeps the balance comfortable for guests while avoiding the fragility that can come with some more ornate handle styles.

• 18/10 stainless steel holds up well through heavy commercial wash cycles
• Teardrop hollow handle with tapered neck balances well without added bulk
• Consistent pattern across the Lazzo range supports matched table presentation
• Sold in dozens, practical for building cover counts or straightforward replenishment
• Clean handle profile suits both formal and contemporary dining room settings

The Lazzo pattern sits comfortably between budget catering cutlery and premium forged ranges. It is well suited to mid-range restaurants, hotel dining rooms, private members' clubs, and function venues where presentation matters but replacement cost needs to remain manageable. For operations running high covers or mixed-use events, the pack sizing makes quantity purchasing straightforward.

If you are fitting out a full cover count from scratch or working out how many packs you need across a range of pieces, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo butter knife is a well-proportioned piece of table cutlery designed for everyday restaurant service. The Lazzo pattern is characterised by its teardrop-shaped handle, which tapers cleanly into the neck of each piece, giving the range a consistent, considered look without veering into ornate territory. The knives are produced in 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, which gives each piece a reassuring weight in the hand and good resistance to the repeated washing cycles that commercial table cutlery must endure.

In a busy table-service environment, butter knives take a disproportionate amount of punishment — dropped, stacked, and put through commercial dishwashers dozens of times a week. The gauge and grade of steel used in the Lazzo range holds up well under that kind of regular use, maintaining its finish and shape over time without the dulling or pitting that can affect lighter cutlery. Sold in packs of twelve, the format suits establishments that want to build or top up a consistent set without overcommitting stock.

The Lazzo pattern works well in a range of settings — from casual dining and brasseries through to more formal restaurant environments where a clean, unfussy cutlery profile is appropriate. It sits naturally alongside other pieces in the Lazzo range, making it straightforward to maintain a coordinated table lay across a full cover.

If you're specifying cutlery across a whole service or want to discuss which pack sizes and patterns suit your cover count, our team is happy to help you work through the options before you order.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo dinner fork is a well-proportioned piece of table cutlery suited to restaurant, hotel, and catering use. Constructed from 18/10 stainless steel at a 4mm gauge, it offers a solid feel in the hand without being heavy, and the teardrop handle profile tapers cleanly into the neck of each piece, giving the range a consistent, refined appearance across a full table setting.

In service, the weight and balance of the Lazzo fork hold up well across high-turnover covers. The 18/10 grade stainless steel resists staining and corrosion through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles, which is a practical consideration for any operation running multiple sittings per day. The gauge is substantial enough to avoid the lightweight feel that can reflect poorly on a front-of-house presentation, without being so heavy that it adds unnecessary cost per cover.

Supplied in packs of twelve, the Lazzo range is straightforward to build up in quantity and works well as a core pattern for operations that want a consistent, unfussy look across their table settings. Key practical points worth noting:

• 18/10 stainless steel construction withstands regular commercial dishwasher use
• 4mm gauge provides solid feel without excess weight
• Sold in dozens, making stock management and top-up ordering straightforward
• Teardrop handle profile sits evenly across mixed cover settings
• Consistent finish across the Lazzo range supports a unified table presentation

The Lazzo pattern is well suited to mid-market restaurants, hotel dining rooms, and contract catering where a clean, classic profile is preferred over more decorative styles. For operations requiring a more substantial or highly polished finish for fine dining, it is worth comparing against heavier patterns in the range before committing to volume.

If you are specifying cutlery across a new opening or a full table refresh, our team is happy to advise on quantities, patterns, and mix-and-match options within the Chef & Sommelier range.

The Diaz tea knife is part of Chef & Sommelier's Diaz cutlery range — a contemporary pattern with slender, clean lines and a formal profile. Each piece is constructed from 18/10 stainless steel at a 6mm gauge, which gives a solid feel in the hand without appearing heavy on the table. The range is sold in dozens, making it straightforward to order quantities that align with cover numbers or top up existing stock.

In hotel, restaurant, and function environments, cutlery at this gauge performs reliably through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The 18/10 stainless steel composition resists corrosion and retains its finish under daily heavy use, which helps maintain consistent table presentation over time without the visible wear that can affect lighter pieces.

• Slender contemporary profile suits formal dining, afternoon tea, and hotel breakfast service
• 18/10 stainless steel maintains finish through frequent commercial dishwasher cycles
• Sold in dozens for straightforward stock management and reordering
• Matches across a full range of covers for consistent table settings

The Diaz pattern is well suited to establishments where a clean, modern aesthetic is a deliberate part of the dining experience — hotels, branded restaurants, and event caterers with a formal table presentation. Operators building or refreshing a full cutlery set can match pieces across the Diaz collection. For venues that require a heavier gauge or a more traditional pattern, other options within the Chef & Sommelier catalogue may be worth considering.

If you are specifying cutlery across multiple dining areas or want to confirm how the Diaz range fits together, the team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo dinner knife is a commercial-grade piece of cutlery suited to restaurant table settings where appearance and durability both matter. The defining characteristic of the Lazzo range is its teardrop handle profile, which tapers smoothly into the neck of each piece, giving the cutlery a cohesive, considered look across a full place setting. The knives are manufactured from 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, which provides good resistance to corrosion and staining under regular commercial dishwasher cycles.

In a busy restaurant environment, cutlery takes considerable punishment — repeated handling, high-temperature washing, and the occasional drop. The weight and gauge of the Lazzo knives give them a solid feel in the hand without being cumbersome, which tends to translate well across a range of dining styles, from relaxed bistros through to more formal restaurant covers. The 18/10 steel composition helps maintain the finish over time, reducing the rate at which cutlery needs replacing due to pitting or surface deterioration.

• Solid handle construction — no hollow sections that can trap moisture or distort under heat
• 4mm gauge blade provides a reassuring weight and balance at the table
• 18/10 stainless steel resists staining and withstands commercial dishwasher temperatures
• Teardrop profile handle sits comfortably in the hand for a wide range of diners
• Sold in packs of 12, suited to ordering in quantities that match cover numbers

As with any commercial cutlery purchase, it is worth considering your full cover count and par stock when ordering. Establishments running multiple sittings or high-volume services will typically hold two to three times their cover count in cutlery to allow for dishwasher turnaround without running short during service.

If you are building out a full table setting or want guidance on matching pieces within the Lazzo range, our team is happy to talk through what quantities and combinations make sense for your operation.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo dinner spoon is a straightforward, well-made piece of table cutlery designed for everyday service in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations. Formed from 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, the Lazzo pattern features a tapered teardrop handle that narrows cleanly towards the neck of the spoon — a shape that sits comfortably in the hand and presents neatly on a laid cover.

In a busy front-of-house environment, the quality of the steel matters as much as the design. The 18/10 grade used here offers good resistance to staining and corrosion under regular commercial dishwasher cycles, and the 4mm gauge gives each piece enough weight and rigidity to hold up well over time without the flex you can get from lighter-gauge cutlery.

For operators, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Heavyweight 4mm gauge construction resists bending in day-to-day service
• 18/10 stainless steel withstands repeated commercial dishwasher cycles without staining
• Clean teardrop handle shape is easy to polish and lay without snagging on linen
• Sold in dozens, making stock management and ordering simple

The Lazzo spoon is well suited to mid-range and fine dining restaurants, hotels, and any catering operation where consistent, presentable cutlery is expected as standard. If you are outfitting a high-turnover casual dining site with a very high daily cover count, it is worth considering how many dozens you will need in circulation to allow for washing cycles and breakage reserves.

If you would like guidance on quantities for your cover count or advice on matching Lazzo pieces across the range, our team is happy to help before you place an order.

The Lazzo dessert spoon from Chef & Sommelier is part of a cutlery range built around a distinctive teardrop handle that tapers cleanly into the neck of each piece. Produced in 4mm gauge 18/10 stainless steel, the pattern carries a solid feel in the hand without being overly heavy — a balance that works well across a range of dining styles, from relaxed bistro service to more formal restaurant settings.

In day-to-day service, 18/10 stainless steel at this gauge holds up reliably under commercial dishwasher cycles, resisting the surface dulling and edge wear that lighter-gauge cutlery can show over time. The Lazzo finish tends to retain its appearance with normal machine washing, which helps maintain a consistent table presentation across a busy service week without additional polishing effort.

From an operational standpoint, the Lazzo pattern offers a few practical advantages worth noting:

• 4mm gauge construction provides durability through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles
• 18/10 stainless steel composition gives good corrosion resistance in high-humidity environments
• Teardrop handle profile is comfortable to hold and straightforward for front-of-house staff to lay correctly
• Sold in packs of 12, making it practical to order in multiples to match cover counts
• Pattern consistency across the Lazzo range allows for coordinated table settings across courses

The pack format — sold in dozens — suits operators who are building or topping up cover sets in a structured way. It is worth considering your typical cover count and breakage rate when deciding how many packs to order, particularly if the pattern is being introduced across a full dining room. Lazzo is available in other pieces within the range, so cover sets can be built consistently.

If you are unsure how many packs suit your operation, or whether the Lazzo pattern is the right weight and style for your setting, we are happy to talk it through.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo dinner fork is a commercially produced piece of cutlery designed for regular, high-volume use in restaurants, hotels, and catering operations. Made from 18/10 stainless steel with a 5mm gauge, it offers a solid feel in the hand without being heavy or cumbersome for guests. The rounded handle profile and curved form give it a contemporary appearance that works well across a range of table settings, from relaxed dining to more formal covers.

In a busy front-of-house environment, cutlery takes considerable punishment — dropped, stacked, run through commercial dishwashers repeatedly. The 18/10 stainless steel construction is well suited to this kind of daily workload, resisting corrosion and maintaining its finish over time without requiring special handling or treatment. The 5mm gauge adds enough substance to withstand the rigours of service without the piece feeling unwieldy on the table.

Key practical points for operators:

• 18/10 stainless steel resists corrosion and discolouration in commercial dishwasher cycles
• 5mm gauge provides a confident feel without adding unnecessary weight
• Rounded handle design is straightforward to hand-polish and rack consistently
• Sold in dozens, making stock management and ordering straightforward
• Contemporary profile suits a broad range of table settings and service styles

The Ezzo fork is most at home in restaurants and hotel dining rooms looking for reliable, well-finished cutlery at a sensible price point. It is a practical choice for operators who need to maintain consistent covers without the maintenance burden of silver-plated or coated alternatives. If your operation runs very high covers or particularly rigorous kitchen conditions, it is worth discussing whether a heavier-gauge option would better suit your volumes.

If you are unsure whether the Ezzo range fits your service style or you are putting together a full cutlery set, our team is happy to talk it through with you.

The Chef & Sommelier Lazzo teaspoon is a mid-weight piece from a well-regarded French cutlery range, made from 18/10 stainless steel with a teardrop-shaped handle that tapers towards the neck. It has a clean, fluid profile that sits comfortably in a table setting without drawing attention to itself — which is generally what well-chosen cutlery should do.

In service, the 18/10 steel composition resists staining and retains its finish well through repeated commercial dishwasher cycles. The gauge gives the piece enough substance to feel considered in the hand without tipping into unnecessarily heavy territory. It is the sort of cutlery that works consistently across a range of dining styles, from casual bistro to more formal restaurant covers.

For front-of-house teams, the practical advantages are straightforward:

• Resists tarnishing and pitting through regular machine washing
• Consistent weight and finish supports a polished table presentation
• Teardrop handle shape is comfortable to hold and easy to polish
• Sold in packs of 12, making stock management and replacement straightforward

As with any cutlery purchase for a commercial operation, it is worth thinking about overall pattern continuity — mixing handle profiles across a table rarely reads well. The Lazzo range extends across multiple pieces, so building a consistent cover is achievable within the same collection.

This teaspoon is well suited to restaurants, hotels, cafés, and contract catering operations looking for reliable, presentable cutlery at a practical price point. Operators running higher covers or requiring heavier-gauge pieces may find a more substantial specification within the broader range worth considering.

If you are putting together a full cover or matching to existing Lazzo pieces already in use, the team is happy to help you work through the quantities and pattern combinations.

The Chef & Sommelier Ezzo teaspoon is part of a flatware range built around a distinctive rounded handle profile and softly curved form. Made from 18/10 stainless steel, it offers the corrosion resistance and surface durability that commercial operations need from cutlery that goes through a dishwasher several times a day.

In a busy café or restaurant environment, teaspoons are among the highest-turnover pieces of cutlery on any cover. The Ezzo's 18/10 composition helps it resist the pitting and dulling that lower-grade steel is prone to under repeated commercial wash cycles, which matters when you're relying on consistent presentation across every service.

• 18/10 stainless steel construction resists corrosion and surface dulling
• Rounded handle profile suits both casual dining and more considered table settings
• Sold in packs of 12, practical for topping up existing stocks or outfitting new covers
• Dishwasher safe and suited to the demands of high-frequency commercial use

The Ezzo range is well suited to restaurants, hotels, and café operations looking for flatware that sits comfortably between everyday practicality and a more considered aesthetic. It works particularly well where the table setting carries some weight in the overall guest experience. For higher-volume sites running very large cover counts, it's worth considering whether a full dozen or multiple packs will meet your par stock requirements without running short during peak service.

If you're building out a full flatware selection or matching the Ezzo teaspoon to other pieces in the range, we're happy to talk through what quantities and combinations tend to work well in practice.
