Introduction: I'm Chef Daniel D'Alessio. As an avid lover of the sights, smells, and tastes of endless possible food combinations, I have decided to make the creation of food my life. Working in such places like the Raven And The Peach in Fairhaven and at Rumson Country Club in Rumson NJ, I immersed myself in French, Italian, Spanish, and Japanese cooking styles. I have over 10 years of experience in fine dining and catering. Marketing myself as a private chef, I will design and create a customized menu for my clients. We handle everything including a romantic evening at home for 2, intimate dinner parties, cocktail parties, weddings and big catered events. We were awarded Thumbtacks #1 Home Caterer and Top Pro in NY and NJ for 2015, 2016, 2017, and recently 2018. It is a great honor and we strive to continue to be the best of the best. Hire us and get a chance to relax at your next party, your in good hands.

    Wedding and Event Catering

    Chef Dan helped out with a reception for our company. He and his team were on time set up quickly, they even stayed a little bit after the scheduled end time to continue serving our guests. The food was excellent and the serving staff were ultra professional. Everything was kept clean throughout the event and all our guests were well attended to. I could not have been happier with Chef Dan and his crew.

    It was a great experience having chef Dan as our caterer. The arrangement of the table and the plates were attractive, aesthetic. Our guests loved the tasty food.

    Wedding and Event Catering

    Chef Dan was absolutely outstanding. He cooked 7 meals for my party of 16 people over the course of 3 days and the food / service was phenomenal. Chef Dan was also flexible, made the entire planning process as easy as possible, and was a pleasure to be around for the weekend. I would recommend him to anybody planning an event that requires good food and good service.

    For two years in a row, Chef Dan has catered our holiday party and both events have been a huge success with no small thanks to Dan's cooking and his partner in crime, Brianna's bartending. Amazing food, excellent service, outstanding value.

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
    Every menu is different, so there is no set pricing. We start our cocktail parties at $60 per head, buffets at $75, and multi-course plated meals start at $125 per person.
  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
    We first speak through thumbtack and then set up a day and time to speak over the phone and discuss the event. I then send a sample menu with pricing over to the client. If they decide to go with me I send out the catering contract to be signed and returned with a deposit for the date.
  • What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
    I have been in the industry for over 10 years. I graduated at the top of my culinary class and have worked in many fine dinning establishments.
