We had LPG cater our wedding and let me tell you value cannot explain enough. We could’ve easily paid 20,000 for received. Much appreciated Joseph.

Joe was a joy to work with. We hired LPG for our museum wedding and they above and beyond delivered. During our tasting Joe made it super clear he doesn’t up charge for the typical things that caterers do like cutlery, booze, or entree selections. We received a clear fee and Joe stuck to that, which I really appreciated. The bar was perfect, the antipasto table super beautiful, table settings were thoughtful and perfectly styled and best of all - the food was super delicious. Joe created a unique menu that fit our styles and best of all he was flexible when inevitably things changed. I didn’t snap any pics of our beautiful food, because i was too busy enjoying it! Joe operates on a “we’ll make it work attitude” and I absolutely love people like that. Thank you, Joe, for helping to create one of the best nights of my life.

I had Joe and team cater my 55 person Christmas party. It went off perfectly. The food was amazing and the team professional. My guests had nothing but praise for Joe and his team.
It was a chilly night so joe made sure that there were outdoor heaters near the bar and cocktail tables for my guests. Not only were guests well fed but they were comfortable too. Throughput the evening everyone was well attended to. After the party, Joe’s team cleaned up and left it like it had never happened.
I cater two parties every year and I can say this is one of the best catering experiences i have ever had. The food and service were memorable and definitely made an impression on my guests. We will be back with La Panzano for our next event!

We hired Joseph and his staff for my daughter’s graduation and going away party. Hiring a catering service was a last minute decision for us, yet Joseph came through for us and had everything handled with great professionalism. The food was delicious and fresh and Ben and Tuesday were absolutely magnificent. They did the setup, served and cleaned everything, making the evening easy and stress free for us and allowing us to focus on our guests and family. Thank you all🙏🏼

I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Joseph! He completely saved an event I had been planning when our previous caterer contracted covid. Not only did he make himself available to start working on a multi meal plan right away, he helped me with other aspects of the planning too.
For the entire week leading up to the event Joseph was so communicative and such a pleasure to work with. Our job was not necessarily an easy one, yet his flexibility and confidence made me feel like our guests would be completely taken care of.
Once on site, Joseph and Ben were so on top of all aspects of food service for all three meals we contracted them for - I didn’t have to worry about anything catering related which was such a relief.
And now onto the food…wow! Breakfast was so delicious and perfectly presented. Dinner was an absolute dream - everything we had hoped for in our menu. And our final grab and go breakfast was perfect for our departing guests.
I would, without a doubt, hire Joseph again. And I will not hesitate to recommend him to anyone in need of a fun, flexible, helpful and amazing chef!
