We just had our wedding with Jeffrey at the helm of our catering services AND bar AND rentals. He made it sooooooo easy to just get all of this done through him. Jeffrey was referred to us by our venue, La Canada Thursday Club. I have to tell you...he was THE BEST amongst all the vendors that I met with/interviewed. He was patient, very helpful, creative, and affordable. He was able to provide us with family style meals (when a bunch of vendors simply couldn't/wouldn't) and connected us with his fantastic rental and bar services. If I could throw more parties, and therefore need more catering and drinks and rentals, I would! Jeffrey is simply the best! read more

I had my second event with Mr. Ardis Catering last night and it couldn't have been better. I had a five course tasting menu paired with wine and Jeff came up with a perfect menu that paired perfectly with all of the wines we were tasting. The quality of food and service is above and beyond. My guests raved about each and every dish. The taste, the presentation, the explanation by the chef, unmatched experience. Felt like I was in my own Michelin star restaurant. Most competitive pricing around. Will absolutely be using them again. Highly recommend. read more

Mr, Ardi's catered my book club last night. We had 11 women. He made us a taco bar complete with all the fixings. Chicken, beef, veggies, amazing guacamole, 2 salsas, cheese, cilantros, soft corn and flower tortillas, beans and rice. We ordered for 10 and had enough for 20. Everything tasted amazing. Thank you so much. read more

Mr. Ardi's catered a delicious taco bar for our book club last night for about 10 people. We were all well-fed and excited about having them cater future book clubs in theme with the book. Thank you! read more

Called Jeff at Mr. Ardi's Catering under total stress to get food for my mother's funeral. Needed platters THE NEXT DAY and was turned down by everyone we called. Jeff and his chef not only saved us but the platters were, full, fresh, delicious and nicely presented. He didn't know us but treated us like longtime repeat clients, which we gladly will now become! Their service was amazing, delivering everything a little early rather than late, even with our last minute fire drill. Can't thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone looking for high quality catering at very fair prices and exceptional service. Support this catering company, you won't regret it! read more

We chose Mr Ardi's Catering for our wedding on October 12,2024 at La Canada Thursday Club and we were really happy with their service before, during and after our wedding. Jeff is easy to work with and they have good food selections you can try at their tasting. My parents also booked their catering for a Christmas party! read more

Honestly 5-stars. We used Jeffrey Ardi for our wedding reception, and he and his team crushed it. We got so many compliments on the food for days and days after our event... Everyone loved it!! The brisket was a true show stopper (definitely recommend for meat eaters), with folks saying it exceeded those made by celebrity chefs. He also made a rosemary chicken that wowed all parties. Another show stopper was butternut squash ravioli cooked in a butter sage sauce. He also made an amazing salad with arugula, pears, and pom seeds. Plus-- out of this world roasted carrots. I tell you and it's true-- every course was amazing (as were the passed appetizers and hot beverages)!!! I also have to give him major points for process. Mr. Ardi really helped us plan our event, from timeline to flow. He just knows weddings (and probably other events) so well that he was able to advise in a really helpful way. Mr. Ardi can also help you figure out plates/flatware/etc. He is also incredibly flexible in terms of the menu-- he's happy to make whatever you want! And he's just a relaxed, fun guy that made the process easy and enjoyable. You just have to give him your final menu/headcount about a week before the event! Lastly, I gotta highly recommend using his games. Beyond the normal cornhole, giant connect four, and giant jenga, he also has a basketball game, putt putt, and ping pong. While I wanted games, I was a little skeptical at how popular they'd be. Well, lemme tell you, all six games were extremely popular with both kids and adults. An add-on that is very worth it, and it eliminates the need for another vendor. I also should add his staff was great. They cleaned up their workspaces, plated our champagne and desserts, passed out apps, and did the job very nicely. We basically didn't even know they were there (in a good way)! So, again, a TRUE 5-star review. If you want people raving about the food at your wedding and having tons of fun with games, Jeff Ardi is your guy. read more

Jeffrey Ardi catered our recent graduation party for our class of 2022 high school twins. We did a Sunday brunch, 11-2, including omelette bar (cooked on site), roasted potatoes, bacon, sausage, waffle station with toppings, fruit salad, green salad, assorted pastries, juices, coffee, sparkling cider, mimosas and bellinis. The crew arrived on time, set up a beautiful display on our grill island, delivered excellent food and service. Many guests commented on the food and asked for his card for future events. 5-stars and already planning our next party to have him cater! read more

Everyone highly complimented all the food all the way to the incredibly yummy dessert . I would highly recommend Jeff for any catering needs you may have, he truly has mastered the art of making the most delicious food ever. He also accommodates having individual boxed lunches due to Covid which was truly fantastic. He is very willing to work with you and will create any type of food you may want . Incredibly great to work with. Thank you, Jeff it probably was the best BBQ Food, we ever had and we look forward to using you for our next catering event . read more

Can I just say, the team at Mr. Ardi's Catering is superb and will make sure your event tastes delicious, regardless of how everything else turns out. I can personally vouch for their drinks, seasonal or otherwise, and the service will always make your guests feel comfortable and appreciated. The food is also top-notch. All you have to do is call them up and tell them what you're looking for. Leave the rest up to them. read more

Man, Ardi was such a legit dude. Made great cocktails with fresh cranberries and made for great conversations too. Literally gave me a pretty thorough rundown on crypto currency and even some knowledge on trading stocks. Talked about the value of the American Dollar in the coming years and a whole lot of other shit lol. Anyway, the drinks were great Really hope to try Ardis good one of these days. Nice to see someone that cares that much about making someone happy with his cuisine read more

My fiancé and I were both excited to do a food tasting with Mr. Ardi's Catering and considered hiring him for our event. Unfortunately the food was awful and disappointing. The chicken and salmon recipes were not what I requested and they both had a peculiar odor along with the saffron rice. The chicken and fish did not appear to be fresh and looked like they may have been in the refrigerator for days. I was expecting the food to be hot but got mash potatoes and filet mignon that were barely warm. Jeff claimed that his food was restaurant quality. Apparently, this was not the case. Based on my experience, I do not recommend this company for any event. The food is poor quality, inedible, and not something I would serve to my dog. read more

If I could give 10 stars I would. If you are looking for an Outstanding Cater with Top Notch Customer Service and Excellent Food I highly recommend you contact Jeff at Mr Ardi's Catering. I contacted Jeff Ardi to Cater a Film Shoot the day before we were shooting and asked if he could Cater for Approx 30 people for Breakfast and Lunch. He had less than 24 hrs notice for a 2 day shoot. He put a menu together for both days and had the food delivered and set up without any hesitation. That included Beef, Chicken and Vegetarian dishes. The food was outstanding especially the Brisket Sandwiches. Everyone complimented how good the food was. I can not Thank Jeff enough for helping me out last minute and I mean last minute. read more

I can't express how lucky I was to find Jeff (Mr. Ardi). With a weeks notice, a friend that was to cater my sisters backyard wedding cancelled due to potential exposure to someone with Covid. After I got off the phone with my friend, I did an extensive search and kept coming back to Mr.Ardi's. Knowing it was such short notice, I reached out expecting that they could not accommodate. Jeff (Mr. Ardi) called me back in 10 minutes and we secured his service within 24 hours. Jeff suggested a menu and we loved it (only switched out asparagus with green beans) Now for the wedding. Jeff and his team showed up, observing ALL Covid safety precautions. They served us a delicious meal. Appetizers were fresh and tasty. Dinner was tasty and filling. Everyone during and after the wedding shared how good the food was. I don't think I can recommend a caterer enough. Jeff, you are a miracle worker! read more

Mr. Ardi's catered an event for us and created an amazing taco bar! The food was delicious! Highly recommend! Look forward to having them cater future events! read more

I was recently at an event, exclusively catered by Mr. Ardi's Catering, and I cannot say enough great things about the food, staff and of course, the Chef! The event had over 150 people and started with appetizers - everything from meatballs, chicken skewers and more, to chicken and waffles tasted delicious. A fresh tossed green salad with any add ons you can think of started the meal. The main entrees of tri-tip, salmon, chicken and grilled vegetables were perfectly seasoned, tender and the perfect temperature. I cannot say enough good things about Mr. Ardi's Catering other than I wish there were more stars to rate this #1 caterer! read more

I needed a caterer to provide breakfast and lunch for 35 people for a 3 day workshop that was being held in our Northridge, CA office for quite a few of our executives and Sr. staff at HARMAN International. I am located in Stamford, CT and asked for recommendations from assistant's in Northridge who could not provide any local caterer's so my husband went on Yelp and found Mr. Ardi's and I'm so glad he did. In speaking with Jeff (owner) on the phone, he understood the requirements and needs of this audience. He came up with a menu that was very impressive for the 3 days and always answered the phone when I called. He came to the office the day before the event to get an idea of set up and was on time every morning and afternoon. His food and set us was amazing/pleasing and the executives were VERY happy with every meal! Flavor and love is put into every meal. Even his scrambled eggs are cooked to perfection!! His Mac & Cheese was soooo good as well as his mouth-watering brisket, just so much flavor. Lasagna and butternut squash ravioli is worth mentioning as well as his chicken and ribeye souvlaki was out of this world. His meals were so good that I had the assistant's in Northridge try his food including his delicious soups so that they would use him for future events. I wish he was here in the Stamford area because I would use him for all for our events!! Please do not hesitate to hire Jeff for your special occasion. l guarantee that you will not be disappointed!! Though our needs were on the high end, he will work with you on any budget, menu and venue, no job is too big or too small. Give him a call!!! read more

We've used Jeff Ardi to cater a handful events at our company headquarter since December 2018. Our event sizes are ranging from 40 people to over 200 people. Jeff came through every time with the various delicious menu selections & awesome professional service. We received great compliments about the food. He was very responsive & willing to work with you to make it happen. I highly recommend you to give Jeff & his team a try. You won't be disappointed. Thank you, Jeff & your team! read more

I had Mr. Ardi's Catering do all the food for a weekend Basketball Referee conference. The food was fantastic, and I received so many compliments on the catering. Service is great, set up was all done for us. Nothing could be easier. Jeff is a dream to work with and provides superior food. A must hire for any event!! read more

Jeff Ardi is hands down the best catering service I've had the pleasure of working with. Had the opportunity to get to work with him on multiple film sets and have never had a better lunch. His meals are a clear indication that he is a trained chef with years of experience. Not to mention all of his accommodations for dietary restrictions, allergies, and even being COVID compliant. Doesn't matter the size of the event, or how many hungry mouths you need to feed, Jeff and his team will make it the best meal you've ever had. read more

Jeff and his team catered my wedding a couple weeks ago on 4-12-14 and all we can say is that my guest and my husband and I couldn't be happier! The appetizers I heard from our guest were great, we choose the crab cakes, coconut shrimp, stuffed mushrooms and bruschetta. For our entrees we choose the Chicken Marsala and Chipotle Honey Pork Loin with mashed potatoes and green beans, which also included a dinner salad and bread rolls and it was mmm mmm good! Jeff was so easy to communicate with and was such a pleasure and so professional out of ALL the venders I dealt with, you are doing yourself a favor by choosing him to cater any event! Thank you Jeff for a successful and STRESS FREE catering of our wedding especially for a woman who was 5 1/2 months pregnant our growing family can't thank you enough!

We Just yesterday had an event in our design firm, and I found Mr. Ardi online. I saw his reviews and his site and thought that we should try them out.

Our daughter has been at the Warner Bros. Childcare Center since she was 2 years old. On Friday, she will graduate from the Kinder Prep class. I wanted to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Ardi's Catering so very much for providing such high-quality meals to the Center. Our daughter loves your food! Over the past 3 years, she has learned to eat and enjoy delicious healthy foods because of your careful menu planning. She has been exposed to foods we never thought she would even like to try - like grilled salmon and couscous!! Today's world is filled with so much hate and negativity. Complaining has become an elevated art form. Therefore, we thought it was important to recognize you and your staff for doing the very important job of feeding our daughter and the other children at the Center. I'm not sure how often parents write to you guys, so we wanted to make sure you were gratefully recognized for your work. Please be sure to share this review with all of the chefs, line cooks, prep cooks, menu planners, nutritionists, and other employees at your company - everyone deserves to be thanked! To say we will miss your food is an understatement! As a mom, I have no idea how I'm going to follow your wonderful cooking! Packing lunch box food for kindergarten simply cannot hold a candle to your meals! I know you're a catering company, but if you ever offer meals for families, we will be among the first to sign up! read more

Jeff Ardi catered the complete buffet style dinner for my son's December 8 wedding. The food was absolutely delicious, including the vegetarian options. His completely polite servers were ready to assist guests as they approached the buffet table. I would definitely recommend Mr. Ardi and his team for anyone's milestone event/party. Mr. Ardi thank you for an absolutely abundant & delicious meal ! #alzatewedding2018 read more

I look forward to working with you again. read more

I was impressed by all of the excellent Yelp reviews, so I emailed "Mr. Ardi" to inquire about his catering services for a party that I'm planning. He emailed me back within 24 hours with some information I had requested, and asked me for a few details in order to provide me with more accurate information. I responded within a few days, and when I didn't hear back after a couple of days, I sent a follow-up email. It has now been 10 days since his initial email, and I have yet to receive a response. I am not holding my breath and can only assume he does not want my business. Not to worry, Mr. Ardi - you won't be getting it. read more

Mr. Ardi's Catering has catered two of my events the last two years and each time was wonderful! I was very impressed because one of the events was right around the time of the fires in the area and he called the night before, confirmed the event was still on and assured me his team was ready! I will be using him for years to come! read more

I always love discovering new chefs and catering options for my clients. As an event planner, I always look at the smallest details such as organization, cleanliness and presentation not to mention how the food tastes. Jeff was amazing in all categories and also the nicest person you can ever work with. I give Mr. Ardi's a 5-star ans really highly recommend him. Try the mashed potato bar. It's to die for! Event Pros LA will for sure be working together with Jeff in the near future! read more

We had to cancel our original wedding plans due to COVID and found Mr. Ardi near my uncles house. I reached out and spoke with Jeff Ardi who was supper accommodating the whole time through several guest list reductions until we finally had to postpone due to personal reasons. We may not have had the pleasure of using their service, but I can speak to his professionalism, response time and attention to detail. We hope to use them when we figure out our new wedding date! read more

I hired Jeff Ardi's catering services for my graduation party a few weeks ago. We usually get a tacos for events, but I wanted something different and I was not at all disappointed! I was a bit nervous at first since I had not used his services before nor did I know of anyone that had. I ordered food for 80 people and chose the vegetable lasagna, lemon herb chicken with cream sauce, BBQ Tri Tip, Cesar salad, and grilled veggies. Every single person that mentioned the food raved about it and talked about how good it was. We were all satisfied and there was more than enough food to go around. Jeff is professional and polite, it was easy to place the order, most communication took place via email as I was either working or at school. I would definitely recommend and we will keep him in mind for future events. read more

We had Ardi caterer for our wedding in La Cañada. He was great to work with from day one. All his dishes were delicious from the couscous to the roasted veggie and you cannot forget the brisket!! All our guest loved the food and the service he provided. We highly recommend Ardi to our friends and families future events. Thanks Ardi for making our day that much tastier! read more

I planned a graduation/birthday party and mr Ardi helped make this event memorable. He worked with me every step of the way. The night before I asked about cake cutting as I had forgotten about that detail. He was so cool and helped me not stress or worry about anything. The food was so tasty and was well received by all 200 plus guests. I would go to him again and again and would refer him to anyone looking for professional services from staff to finish. read more

My wife and I asked Jeffery to cater at our wedding at Reptacular Ranch In Sylmar this past July. We met him pre-pandemic and was able to have a tasting within his personal kitchen. He was very down to earth, attentive, and reasonable. During the pandemic we heard that many business were closing or cancelling events which made us very fearful. Jeffery reassured us that he will still be able to cater at our wedding. Our wedding consisted of about 160 guest and sometimes when there are a large group to serve the quality of the food goes down; not Jeffery's! Even though he had to transport the meal from his kitchen to the ranch, the pork loan and chicken were still moist and tender. Our ceremony ended early and without hesitation he was able to get the appetizers out quick enough to appease the hungry guest. I would highly recommend Mr. Ardi's catering to my friends and family, and you need to give him a try if you have a big event. He also caters for CSUN which shows his abilities to deliver. read more

Mr. Ardi's catering is ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE. From the service to the food, this catering company truly cares about the clients they work with. I myself work in a programs and event planning organization here at California State University, Northridge and have worked with Mr. Ardi's catering repeatedly. In my experience working with him and his business, the menu is always up to us and he is able to cook up anything we desire. For example, we serve students who have specific dietary needs (vegetarian, gluten free...etc) and he always has a solution for us. On top of that, he provides generous sized portions for an amazing price. This, accompanied with the flexibility and desire to make our events a hit with his catering, makes working with him worth every penny. Aside from my experience, I have had people from the department I work at ask about the catering and how they can also contact Mr. Ardi for his services. The students that we serve are also excited to see the food that he brings out. They are always asking for second and even third servings. Without the quality of food provided at the price points given, our events would not pack the punch needed to attract the 100's and even 1000's of people that come to enjoy our events and the food. If I still have not sold you on why you should go with Mr. Ardi, let me make it a little more clear. He will not let you down. This is the top catering business in the Valley, he is a staple at California State University, Northridge, as he is serving and dishing out food to various departments all over campus. As far as a personal note on Mr. Ardi, I see myself inquiring for his services for personal events in the future. Please give him a call and experience the satisfaction that many have before! read more
