We called Olivia after speaking with many caterers about about approach, cuisine and budget, and we were honestly getting a bit defeated. My first conversation with Olivia was so incredibly refreshing in that I told her we are trying to decide between tacos or barbeque and she responded with a very effortless, "why choose?". This immediately put me at ease as we started to brainstorm together. All other caterers were now subpar. She crafted a beautiful menu for us that included mini (single-bite) sized tacos as part of the hors d'oeuvres and an upscale barbeque with hometown roots for the entree. Our guests have not stopped RAVING about our food (strong accolades for the BBQ still rolling in from our Texas and Tennessee-native guests, so you know it was great!). We received a truly personalized experience with Olivia. She even stepped in to work with us directly when we had questions and get saleswoman was unavailable! From the first conversation through the tasting and our wedding, Olivia was one of our top vendors. Her saleswoman, Christina, was excellent at offering advice and ideas as well as suggestions from other events they'd catered (either at 501 or otherwise). On staff, Olivia also has a food design team member who created the most instagram-worthy displays! Definitely an added bonus. Would 10/10 use and recommend Olivia!

I'm a novice to cooking and I'm so glad to have started in a supportive environment like this. According to the instructor, there are multiple classes throughout the day and includes cuisines ranging from European to Asian.

Coming here was a surprise for my birthday, and it was probably the best birthday gift I've ever…read morereceived, EVER. To start, the location is a short walk away from 34th St Penn Station. We arrived a bit early and they allowed us to sit at their bar while we waited for the rest of the guests (which by the way, they have a fantastic wine selection). We had a full class of 20, and it was wonderful because everyone was there for a good time. We were led by Jen who was a fantastic host and got all of us rolling (bad dad joke) in no time. Considering the size of our class, and the fact that none of us had experience, I thought the flow of the class was welcoming and very easy to follow. There are two other chefs there that help to guide you along the way, with their own witty personalities that brought smiles to all of our faces. With this class, you're really making pasta from scratch. We started with just flower and eggs, and they walked us through turning it into the proper dough. While we let the pasta rest, we split up to do other prep work. Some of us made a pesto sauce, while others made the ragu. We ended up making bruschetta which was DELICIOUS. Once we all finished that, we got back to the pasta and began making the actual noodles. This all is part of why I loved the experience. Initially, we thought we were only making our own servings, but we found out that everyone was cooking for each other. It was a wonderful feeling seeing that we all literally made our dinner from scratch. I liked the fact that we had made two types of sauces for the pasta, so that there was variety for everyone. The pasta itself was PHENOMENAL. This was the first time I ever tried home made pasta and it changed my perspective on good Italian food. It was so light and flavorful. The pesto and ragu sauces were also spectacular. I didn't have a favorite as they were equally good. The amount we made was also VERY generous, and we had a lot of leftover pasta, which they encouraged us to take home. After dinner we ended up sharing some brownies and ice cream to celebrate three birthdays that evening. We sang happily and indulged in the desert which was wonderful. One thing to mention is that they do photos and videos of the entire event, and I love that because it allows you to focus and really savor the moment, as opposed to trying to get the perfect shot for your social media. They send an email afterwards with quality footage which should grant you plenty of options for your social media needs. The photos and videos in this review were taken by them, and there was even more to choose from. Overall, Bite Unite NYC was one of the best experiences I've ever had anywhere. I couldn't shut up about it afterwards, and I even ended up buying my own pasta maker. Not to sound weird or anything, but it literally changed my life. And honestly that's thanks to the incredible staff, location, quality of the ingredients, and the set up overall. I have zero complaints about Bite Unite NYC, and if you have any interest in attending a class, it comes highly recommended by yours truly. I'll definitely be returning for their other class offerings.

I'm so glad I decided to go with him because everything was perfect every step of the way! Truly it was hit out of the park - I mentioned to Chef Ryan in beginning emails that I can't have gluten or dairy. There was no hesitation on ensuring that the meal would still be delicious + that he knows his way around alternatives easily. The curries that were used in the amuse-bouche along with the curried carrots were my favorite part of the entire evening (I love me some good curry) followed by the coconut milk crème brûlée. Nothing was spared at all the evening of our anniversary! Everything was perfect. Jackie, Chef Ryan's wife, was super sweet + made sure we were happy + comfortable the entire time, conversing with them was seamless + they were both so friendly + kind, it was so enjoyable to have them in our home. Every dish was layered, with a depth that I cannot replicate myself in my dishes. His expertise was worth everything we paid + more! We LOVED their services + assure you that you will, too! I can't wait to have them cater our wedding dinner with an infused menu ;-)

As the host, I did not lift a finger. They prepped, cooked, served and cleaned. I would recommend them to anyone and hope I have an occasion to book them again!
