Introduction: This catering service is personalized and customized to the needs of the customer. The menu is not from a list of menu choices locked in and set in stone. The caterer meets with the customer and gathers special details to capture the desired theme and mood of the event through food and presentation. I have a great time in the kitchen with my professional yet very fun kitchen friends. Can't help but think that the joy we feel in the kitchen somehow gets transferred into the food we prepare!

Gabriella catered my bridal shower and did a wonderful job. I wanted a casual outdoor shower with traditional italian cuisine. The food was simple and delicious with beautiful presentation. Her staff was professional and timely and a joy to work with. I'm sure to be working with her again soon!

I have traveled with Gebby and know that she knows alot about food of many different countries. She is passionate about her profession and her focus is on the appearance as well as the flavors and dishes she is so knowledgeable about. Her patient and fun loving personality are some of her best traits.

Dotty - thank you so much for your lovely review. Fondly remembering the trip to Italy. Artichoke and Art adventures! Venetian fish and vegetable markets. Chatting with shop and restaurant owners in Firenze. An art and culinary adventure! What fun!

I hired Gabriella to cook for my 94 year old grandmother during a time when nobody else was available to make her meals. I believe that Gabby came to my grandmother's home, prepared 20 meals and sides, packaged and froze them. My grandmother really enjoyed the food and Gabby's company while she cooked in her home. Given my grandmother's diminished appetite and the generous portions, she split each of those meals and the 20 dinners wound up being more like 40 dinners. Gabby really listened to everyone when we discussed menu options, she was very professional about itemizing her expenses and, overall, was really easy and pleasant to work with.

David - you must know that Mrs. Faye was an absolute joy to cook for and spend time with. I was so happy to provide her with healthy and flavorful meals, especially given her special dietary requirements. Best regards to you and your family, and many thanks for this lovely review!

Gabriella was wonderful and the food and her demeanor could not have been better! As a parish priest we meet all kinds of caterers and chefs, she is top of her game! No hesitation in this recommendation!

Fr. Jim. I think cooking in the kitchen for you and your congregants celebrating the first anniversary of your church was as much fun for me as it was for you! Thanks so much for your review. Hope to see you again someday soon!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    Pricing for an event varies greatly depending on the customer's requests. In catering, there are simple and more complicated recipes to prepare. The product and the amount of time involved in preparing the food affects cost. Also to be considered are the following: paper and plastic vs. china, silverware and glassware. Linens. Table and chair rentals. Cost for labor: servers, bartenders and cooks.

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    For the most part I cater events for parties of 8-150 people attending. My food specialty is Italian and Mediterranean. For smaller events I will do plated meals. For larger parties, buffets with beautifully scaped tables are offered. The client's theme and "mood" is a major part of the pre-event discussion and that is carried out in the presentation of the event. I also provide kitchen assistant services. If you enjoy food preparation or purchase prepared foods elsewhere but want someone else to prepare and plate foods, tend to the kitchen, food and clean up, I can help while you enjoy your guests.
