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.

OMG - was this a great find!!!!! To bring this truly authentic, and incredibly tasty experience to my home was one of the best decisions I made for this party. The set up and (and then set up again) and clean up was phenomenally well orchestrated, the food was incredible, and I looked like the ‘master hostess’.!!! With a last-minute change of plans, what started as a party for 20 (mostly young) women ended up as a seamless gathering for 40.of all ages - and Chef Maria still made it happen with a “Don’t worry, we will take care of you” (in her comforting Italian accent!). This is only the first of - what will be - many more events on the horizon for Chef Maria - (not just with me…. But my friends too!!) My ONLY regret was not being able to show you more pix of the food and setup, but here is a few of my very happy guests. Grazie, Chef Maria, sei davvero la migliore!

Details: Bridal or baby shower • Lunch • Dessert • Yes, full service • Yes, full kitchen • Fewer than 20 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)

Maria was amazing!!! If I were able to check all five items, I would have. Starting with our first text all through the planning, dinner and clean up, it was more than I could have hoped. The food was beyond amazing and Maria is accommodating, kind and as professional as they come. She made our special evening, even more special. Can’t wait to have her again.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • Italian • Vegetarian or vegan • Gluten free or celiac • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.
