Client Testimonials

“Chef Kevin, and Ana did a great job! We had 7 days notice to cater a ~30 person party for the holiday and he was responsive, speedy, and easy to deal with. All the food was excellent – a selection of hors d’oevres with some very good arancini balls, and two platters with all kinds of dips and sauces which were a real hit with our guests. Will definitely use them again and would recommend!”

Greg

“We booked Chef Kevin last minute for an intimate dinner with close friends. He and his team made sure everything ran smoothly! The food was amazing, the service was spectacular! We wanted to start eating at 7:30 PM, at 7:30 exactly, we were begining to get served! The food was delicious and authentic! While we ate and enjoyed every second, Chef Kevin was preparing dessert, everything was spotless! I will definitely be booking him again! What a great experience! Can’t thank you enough!”

Erika

“Had Kevin over last night for a large dinner party. Team were lovely and very professional. Food was excellent – particularly the pasta and main course of branzino, which was perfectly executed. Kevin was flexible about incorporating some of our own desserts at the last moment and rolled with changes in pacing. Will definitely have them again and look forward to some very creative dinners in the future. Could not be happier.”
