I can't recommend Davide enough! I reached out to him to provide signature cocktails for my birthday party. Before the event, he did a thorough job understanding my taste and designed a menu of high-end cocktails to appeal to me and my guests. Davide was very responsive in the days leading up to the event. Of course, during the party guests raved about the cocktails and Davide conducted himself in a friendly and professional manner.

I was absolutely blown away by the level of detail and thought Davide put into the bartending experience for our event. He truly went above and beyond, even picking up the alcohol for us since my team wasn’t able to be on site. That level of support made a huge difference.
He created a beautiful and thoughtful display for our whiskey tasting that showcased the history of the spirits, and he even provided a tasting sheet for attendees to fill out during the experience which was such a fun touch.
His setup was stunning, his execution was seamless, and his professionalism is unmatched. This is what you get when you work with someone who is truly PASSIONATE about what they do.
We will absolutely be using Davide again in the future. He is your guy!!!

Stir & Stone's reply
Hi Christina,
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! It was such a pleasure to curate the whiskey tasting for your event.
I’m particularly glad to hear that the tasting sheets and the history of the spirits added that extra layer of fun and engagement for your guests I truly believe that understanding the story behind what’s in the glass makes the experience that much better. It was no trouble at all to help with the logistics; I always want to make sure the process is as stress-free as possible for my clients.
Thank you for recognizing the passion I put into my work. I can’t wait to collaborate with you again for your next event!
Warmly,
Davide| Stir & Stone

He was consistently accessible throughout the coordination process, remarkably flexible, and deeply attuned to our needs.

When a last-minute change arose, he responded with impressive adaptability and creativity; effortlessly and with ease elevating the moment and delivering the best drinks in the Bay Area!
His work reflects a rare combination of precision, artistry, and hospitality. I would highly recommend Davide for any corporate, organizational, or fundraising event seeking an exceptional and refined experience.

We recently hired Davide to bartend my husband’s 40th birthday party. He was absolutely incredible from start to finish. He was very responsive and a great communicator. He helped to plan and coordinate ahead of time, and was amazing on the day of. Everyone loved him and he made our event so special! I would hire him again in a second and highly recommend.

We hired Davide for a wedding reception of 50 people in the Marina after a friend recommended him as the best bar curator in the area. He truly exceeded expectations! I wanted four handcrafted cocktails with fresh fruit, and Davide made it happen flawlessly. He provided three distinct menu options, decoration tips, and even connected us with a local clear ice company for those perfect oversized cubes.
We met pre-event for a tasting, and on the big day, he was incredibly punctual. What we loved most was his autonomy; he followed the 'game plan' we created so perfectly that we didn't have to guide him once. His energy, vibe, and craftsmanship made our reception unique. Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the drinks and his professionalism. If you need a bartender in the city, Davide is THE BEST!
