Chef Maria was absolutely amazing. She was prompt with all her equipment,and cleaned up everything before she left. Maria had such a calm demeanor with all the madness of kids running around,and chaos of setting up a party (None of that seemed to faze her). Maria, made my parent’s 50th Anniversary so special. The food was amazing, and she was so considerate of how I wanted the dinner party to run. She even made the kids a special dessert which was so thoughtful. My family and I are looking for any excuse to have another party to have Maria cater for us! Maria was a pleasure to work with,and has such a nice personality. My entire family enjoyed the evening and raved about her when she left.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • I'm flexible • Dessert • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
