Idit Oz catered our wedding in 2023, and numerous succeeding events at our church. Her food is always amazing, and she is a terrific hostess and coordinator. We have come to know members of her staff, who are unfailingly professional and friendly, and really contribute to the good vibes of any occasion. Idit and her team are the first people we think of now for any reception, party, memorial, etc. read more

I coordinate weddings, end of life and other celebrations at a well established church in San Francisco. Oz Catering is a dream to work with, not just for their professionalism and excellent food and service, but because of the sincere interest that they show for every client....whether a grieving family or a blushing bride! It does not go unnoticed. I can always count on a successful, personalized event when I use Idit and her team. They were my " go to" for my own daughter's wedding! read more

We worked with Oz Catering for my client's memorial service for her mother. Idit and her team went above and beyond for the memorial and helped with more than we could have expected. My client was so thankful for how much Idit did to make the memorial as smooth as possible for her and took everything off her plate. We would absolutely recommend Idit and her team for any of your catering needs. read more

Idit and her team catered our wedding this Summer. We had about 150 person outdoor wedding and everything from start to finish was flawless. Everyone said hands down it was the best wedding dinner, appetizers, cocktails and wine they've ever had. We were on a bit of a tight budget and Idit was so thoughtful in preparing a menu that fit our budget. Some might have called me a bridezilla however with Idit managing the most important aspects of the day I could coil my claws. Everything was truly spectacular and I would recommend Oz Catering for any event, big or small. They are a team of very talented professionals. Thank you guys for making our wedding day so special and memorable. Love, Vern & Nick read more

WE used Oz for an event and they were just great. The food was wonderful and they had enough people to serve and kept the food coming. WE guess at the number of guests and we were right on with the number and so was OZ, there was plenty with just a bit to take home. Odit was great to work with, I will use them again. read more

It doesn't get much better than working with Idit for my catering needs. In my book, they check all the boxes. They are easy to work with, on time and the food they make is 5 Star! This past week, I had a last minute catering need and Oz Catering delivered! I told them what it was for and shared a bit about what I was looking for. They sent me a menu that was beyond my expectations. On the day of the event, the trays were presented beautifully and everything was delicious! Thank you for your work Oz Catering! read more

Idit did an amazing job catering our son's Bar Mitzvah. She was such a pleasure to work with, and created a menu that we all loved. The food was delicious, and beautifully presented. My son and his friends especially loved the "milk shake shots" for dessert! read more

Professional, friendly, responsive, delicious, creative, versatile, calm, flexible, considerate, prepared, honest; Idit Oz and Oz Catering made what could of been a much more difficult event, go smoothly and let me focus on my 80+ guests who were there to grieve and share the loss of my step-mother with me. Her communications with me were always promptly returned and we had the menu's and possible serving arrangements decided weeks before although she was flexible up to the last minute when I asked for an extra staff person and gave my final counts. Idit was a pleasure to work with and her staff was on time and considerate of all the emotions going through the guests. What made her the best was that I didn't have to worry about anything to do with the food, the drinks, the cutlery, plates, and glasses, the setting up of the linens and by doing all of that for me I could then focus on the final touches, the embellishments to honor my step-mom and the guests when they arrived. She really is the wizard of catering and she does it all with a certain calm and collectiveness that is reassuring and rare in these high pressure jobs. The food was both delicious and beautifully presented. We had local cheese platters that had more different kinds of cheese than I had ever seen on one plate garnished with red and green grapes. There were charcuterie platters garnished with 3 different kinds of olives, cornichons, pepperonchinis, and marinated popper peppers. We had the Delicious Hummus & babaganoush platters with 2 different kinds of pita. We had these amazing little nicoise salad bites with seared ahi and served on top of half mini potatoes. There were white truffles Aranchini, topped with a dollop of black truffle aioli that was AWESOME. There were simple skewers of perfectly tender chicken to dip in a pepper dipping sauce. Homemade chocolate truffles that melted in my mouth accompanied by coffee and a splash of cream. Needless to say the food was very good and the staff that served the passed items were very gracious and especially considerate considering the mellow but upbeat tone of this event honoring the life and memory of my step-mother. read more

See all

Idit and her team catered a luncheon for our son's B'nei Mitzvah. Idit was easy to work with, listened to our ideas, and put together an amazing menu. We emailed back and forth many times throughout the process and she was always responsive and thorough. The food at the luncheon was beautifully presented and DELICIOUS! Our guests loved the food, especially the burekas, and many asked the name of our caterer after the luncheon. Idit took care of all of the little details so I didn't have to worry about them. She was a pleasure to work with. I would highly recommend Oz Catering for any of your catering needs. read more

Excellent food and plenty of it. Idit is easy to deal with and very pleasant, as is her staff. She made the event classy.

Idit and her team recently catered a luncheon for 40 for me. Great food, great team, and so easy to work with. Pros in every way!

This review is LONG overdue. We booked Idit's services through Oz catering for our July 1st, 2017 wedding and we cannot say enough about how happy we are. We still smile to think of how beautiful the day was, and Idit's delicious, healthy food had everything to do with it. From the initial phone conversation, Idit was friendly, professional and straight to the point. We had spoken to many caterers by this point, and instantly, Idit's demeanor and personality showed through. She wasn't snooty like some of the other caterers and didn't scoff at our modest budget. Idit's gift is in developing exciting and balanced menus that pack the punch when it comes to flavor. She was able to formulate a menu that satisfied our love for local, simple, healthy, flavorful dishes inspired by world travel while also balancing the needs of our guests. Our guestlist consisted of 1/2 strict vegan/vegetarian diners and 1/2 adamant meat-eaters. The challenge that we gave Idit wasn't an easy one, but my how she delivered! Folks are still talking about the quality of the food and the how perfectly it fit us as a couple and the occasion. Many people reflected that it was the best wedding food they had every had, my parents included. The smiles, laughter and joy that Oz Catering brought to our wedding can't be matched. Her staff was attentive, kind, fun and flexible. From the start of the day to the end of the night, they wouldn't let us lift a finger. It was the finest service I have received in any dining experience in the Bay Area. I recommend Oz Catering and Idit Oz to any person looking for the perfect balance of delicious and exciting dishes and that 5 star service that goes above and beyond. read more

Excellent. Exceeded our expectations in every way. I typically keep my reviews brief, but for someone planning a special occasion - like a wedding - I think details are helpful. I've worked in catering on and off for over 10 years. We hired Idit (Oz Catering) for our wedding, based on a recommendation. As someone who has worked in the business and seen tons of mediocre catering jobs, I was VERY nervous about finding a caterer that would meet my high standards for both food and service. Idit delivered exceptionally on both accounts. Our experience with Idit was a pleasure from the beginning. She is a consummate professional with a warm and caring human touch. The initial planning process was painless, the follow ups timely and the final product obviously prepared and delivered with great knowledge and attention. I NEVER WORRIED while working with Idit. We developed a happy hour reception and three course dinner menu with Idit. Our choices included the tastiest appetizers I have ever had anywhere, dinner items grilled fresh on the spot and juicy, flavorful chicken(often hard to come by). Idit cooks like someone who loves food. She does not shy away from flavor. Her ingredients are fresh and the options endless. Our guests RAVED about every dish from start to finish. I have heard many, many "best food at a wedding ever" comments from family and friends. In addition to the meal, Idit provided the staff for food and bar service. Her staff were friendly and professional. They worked hard and seemed to enjoy themselves while doing it. As a last, important note, we found the VALUE of Oz Catering top notch. The abundance of food provided, the quality of both the meal and service and the flexability shown (Idit accomodated our special requests regarding dinner and dessert service) made working with Oz Catering a true pleasure. And it was very affordable. I would HIGHLY recommend Oz Catering if you are planning an event anywhere around or near the Bay Area. I cannot wait for the next opportunity to personally recommend and use Idit's services again. Great food, great service, great value. The best. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Idit. Your contribution to our perfect wedding connot be overstated. You are FANTASTIC at what you do! We were so lucky to find you. read more

We hired Idit for our wedding and she and her staff were professional and easy to work with. The food was fantastic- which is something you rarely hear about wedding food. We wholeheartedly recommend her and will use her for future events. read more

This is the first time I've ever reviewed a business a second time. Idit and her staff recently catered our wedding. The food was absolutely superb. Working with her on making choices for the menu was a snap, and we didn't have to worry about a thing on the wedding day. We think of the weddings we've been to and rarely remember the food. It's been almost 3 months since our wedding, and several people commented specifically on how delicious the food was. We cannot thank her enough. She made our special day care free and extra special. read more

Idit catered a meeting of 30 for us last night, and everyone LOVED their meal. If you have a chance - try her roasted carrots. Also if you know someone who thinks they don't like quinoa, they should sample hers and they will fall in love with the possibilities of that mighty seed (our version had roasted fennel and edamame.) I'm only touching on a couple of the items that Idit served for our buffet dinner, but everything was wonderful. It was also a pleasure to work with Idit - clear, direct communication, wonderful energy, no surprises. You know, the things you hope for in a catering partner but rarely seem to get. P.S. Ok, I can't resist telling you the whole story: Other items served were a roasted chicken with sumac, zaatar & lemon, baby greens & watercress salad with many beautiful & tasty elements and a really nice orange blossom vinaigrette, for dessert a coconut, vanilla & orange blossom cake which by the way was gluten free. Yum! read more

I got married last January, and I take my food very seriously. With 200+ guests, I wanted to make sure to have a caterer who could feed all those people without sacrificing quality at a price point I could afford. Idit completed that in spades. Appetizers? Amazing. Hot, beautiful, and fresh for everyone, and a little plate just for me and my bride. The dinner tasted almost exactly as it did at the tasting, not dried out at all from being at the buffet, just as Idit had promised us. She took care of all the rentals, set up, clean up.... I was not worried once during the evening about the food or service, and I am a man who worries. I especially appreciated how I could see Idit during the night, checking on all her stations, checking on the two of us... Very professional and impressive. I would suggest her to anyone with a wedding, large or small. It was fantastic. read more

I have been to several events catered by Idit Oz, and she has really impressed me each time. Her dishes aren't just the standard kinds of items you'd find at many catered meals. She comes up with very yummy creations that you probably won't see anywhere else. I know for a fact that many are her own authentic recipes. Even the items that may kind of look familiar have some little tastey twist. You won't be bored, and you will enjoy. A couple of the events were outdoors in remote locations. You wouldn't know you were way out in the middle of the woods from the food, though. First-class dining regardless. read more

Last night we had a catered event by Oz Catering. The food was excellent, the service was great and I would be happy to attend any event catered by this company. read more

Idit was so amazing & her Team was spectacular as well! I would choose nobody but this team to cater any event in the future! They were a pleasure to work with an thery took care of everything!!!!!!!!!!!! She sold us on her sampling dishes & EVERYTHING that they make is UNBELIEVABLE! Oz Catering catered for our wedding on 8/31/13 & everything went off better than I ever could have imagined. From the first taste that we had of the Oz Catering samplings, my husband & I were sold! They have such AMAZING food & Idit made the whole process seamless! I was a bit of a difficult bride & had many specifics that we needed handled by the catering company, they took care of all of it! There was an issue with the rental company on the items that we ordered & Idit took care of everything afterwards & made sure that any missing items were accounted for. She managed the entire process very professionally and I will defintely be calling her to cater our next big event! Our guests couldn't stop talking about the great appetizers and DELICIOUS meals! Not to mention the bartenders on Idit's Team who did these crazy stunts with all the drinks & really made it an experience just getting a drink from the bar. Everyone was so accomodating & really made an effort to make sure that the guests were taken care of. Thanks so much Oz Catering, you truly made our wedding REMARCABLE & MEMORABLE because of your great service & truly unique experience. All of the dishes were memorable & items that I would gladly pay top $$$ for in a great restaurant. They are so easy to work with & Idit was so accomodating in talking with me multiple times & meeting me onsite to discuss logistics of the event. If anyone is on the fence about deciding to choose Oz Catering and another company, feel free to reach out to me with any questions, as I would recommend OZ Catering over & over agin. Thanks so much for all of your help & truly making our wedding magnificent. We can't express enough thanks Idit & team! Love, Erin & Kevin Resch read more

We were married in our backyard and had dinner and the reception at another venue. Just before the wedding the wind came up, and Idit and her crew had to make adjustments on the fly. They did an excellent job of adjusting. The hors d'oeuvres were delicious as was the plated dinner. Idit was easy to work with. Her staff was very professional and friendly as well as flexible. We recommend her highly. Nancy and Dennis read more

Idit is an 'intense listener' . She takes in the client's information and returns by exceeding expectations. Her chocolate Kahlua treats are tasty. read more

Idit did an absolutely amazing job catering our wedding. The food was fabulous, and all our guests raved about it! She is truly an artist of cuisine. And SUCH a pleasure to work with! Idit went beyond just planning our menu and delivering delicious food... she helped us envision and plan our event with the creativity and insight of a seasoned professional. From our first meeting to the end of our wedding reception, Idit was a joy and pleasure to work with! And she has the gift of grace under pressure. After months of planning an outdoor ceremony, it actually rained on our wedding day, and Idit navigated the chaos of the weather with confidence and good cheer. She had a great staff with her and together they created a fantastic and memorable experience for us and all of our guests. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. And I was actually able to relax and enjoy our wedding with complete confidence, knowing that Idit had everything taken care of. Thank you, Idit, for working your magic on our special day! You truly are the Wizard of Catering! read more

Excellent service and excellent food. I will be adding them to my short list of go-to caterers.

Idit recently catered our wedding, and she and her staff were absolutely phenomenal! The planning process was very pleasant - Idit answered emails promptly, met us punctually at agreed upon times/locations, and was very professional, but also warm and friendly. The wedding day Idit arrived right on time, and with the help of her staff everything fell perfectly into place - rentals set up, decorations placed on tables perfectly. Cocktail/appetizers were excellent. Received tons of compliments from our guests. And during dinner the staff was really great, making sure I always had a glass of water, champagne or whatever. And the dinner, we had a buffet with several different entrees and sides, was really delicious and unique. Again, tons of compliments from our guests -especially on the salmon! I would wholeheartedly recommend Idit to anyone. I hope to have the opportunity to work with her again in the future. read more

We hired Oz Catering for my son's bar mitzvah - 55 guests in our back yard. Idit did an excellent job creating a menu that met the needs of kids, grownups and quite a few vegans! Everyone enjoyed the food and it was beautifully presented. Her staff is top notch and set up the dining area perfectly. They were friendly to all the guests (even unruly kids!) and left the place looking spotless. Idit handles all the details with rentals and preparation, so you are left simply to enjoy the party. I would definitely use Oz Catering again! read more

Oz Catering is absolutely a phenomenal group of people to work with. We had Idit and her staff cater our wedding in October and my 92 guests and I can't stop raving about both the food and the service. From beginning to end, Idit is incredibly talented and professional. We were so confident that things were in capable hands and we felt so comfortable (and calmed down!) in conversations with her. Her food is truly delicious, "the best wedding meal I've had" according to many of my guests and myself. She helped us with all the details including rentals and flexible where we had specific needs. On top that, she has the most amazing, friendly, professional staff I have ever experienced. Servers were so personable and checked in with me multiple times to make sure that I had enough to eat, bartenders made sure my dad had a drink waiting for him after his speech, servers were smiling and I felt more attended to than I ever expected. That kind of attitude helped make the whole room feel bright, family focused and full of love - which is exactly what we were hoping for! read more

Idit catered a luncheon for our son's bar mitzvah (shared w/another family) for about 250 people. She was a pleasure to work with both on the menu and at the event. Idit and her staff set up both the room and the buffet beautifully and on schedule. The dishes she prepared were superb and high quality, and many guests commented on how wonderful everything tasted. There was plenty of food, replenished frequently, and there were enough leftovers for brunch the next day. We have been to some other parties catered by Idit that were also very well done. Her dishes are creative, prices are very competitive, and you can relax before and during your event knowing she has everything handled. We highly recommend Oz Catering! read more

We called Idit 17 days before our wedding because our other catering arrangements fell through. We arranged location for reception but we did not have place for ceremony, we did not have cake, and we did not have officiator to name a few "left to do things" before the guests arrive. Idit did miracles for us. She knew people at the venue, and vua-lah, magically an extra hall became available for 2 hours; She worked out details on setup, logistics and menu. She referred bakery that delivered a cake that everyone complemented on; she gave a number for rabbi who flawlessly performed the ceremony. And above all was her food. Tomato basil soup in shot glasses for appetizers. Write it down. Its something people will ask for when they come back for 10th anniversary. Wedding supposed to be stressful. Ours was not. Everything was managed by Idit and her staff. It was done professionally, with no hiccups: food was great and the guests had fun. Price was quite competitive as well. We will certainly continue working with Idit when opportunity arises. Highly recommended. read more

All of the reviews here are completely accurate. Idits food is fabulous and so so flavorful. Amazing attention to detail and someone who is so easy to work with and eager to make your event be wonderful. When you are planning a party and have so many things on your mind, it is great to have a caterer that you can count on and know you can leave your guests in great hands. Everyone let me know how much they enjoyed the food. I will definitely have her do my next party. read more

Sign your contract with Idit ASAP so as not to lose out on her tasty treats for your event! Right off the top, Idit is the most friendly, thorough, and reasonable caterer! When I was planning my August '13 wedding reception, I didn't have much time and wasn't interested in "shopping" around. A friend had been to a few Bar/Bat Mitzvahs catered by Idit and gave me her name. After a reading a few of her Yelp reviews, I immediately gave her a call. She warmly invited us over to her home to go over menu planning and pricing. Once we made our decision to go with Oz Catering, and from that point forward, Idit was prompt to reply to any questions, changes, or suggestions I had within 24-hours if not sooner. Idit listened to (and respected) our budget and worked her magic!!! She has such a vast offering of menu items and cuisine fare, and is happy to make adjustments and substitutions as needed. We were looking to have "heavy apps" as our meal, meaning no formal sit-down, and she knew just what we meant. The tasting at her home was mouthwatering good, and she was so generous to allow me to bring my mother and my sister, who is the "foodie" in the family! (Needless to say my father and fiancé were disappointed to have missed it.) When Idit tells you that no one leaves her events hungry, she's CORRECT!!! Trust her every step of the way. In fact, several guests left with to-go containers that she provided! As the bride, I sadly didn't take the time to sample all that I had hoped to eat that day...(Note: If you're hiring Idit for your wedding, make sure to find or assign someone to bring you food throughout your reception!) Aesthetically, her tables and bars were beautiful, this much I remember, and honestly SO MANY of our guests reported (during and in the days/weeks after) how fabulous the food and catering staff were!!! Her displays are inviting and accessible, and the variety of serving pieces are lovely. She will work with you on any themes and "looks" you're going for. Idit even took a considerable amount of time to find and purchase (at her own expense since she could keep them for later use) bamboo bowls for one of our noodle dishes. The staff was exceptionally professional and rumor has it one of her bartenders is the inventor of the Cosmo drink! Many of our guests, upon talking with him, were in awe that we had a beverage celeb in attendance! Our reception took place at a friend's private residence, and that night, the homeowner phoned my parents to say that in all of her years of throwing events with hired caterers, Idit and her staff were the most friendly and took such wonderful care in her kitchen. In fact, she said they left it cleaner than when they arrived. Idit and I have kept in touch in the months following my reception and even met for coffee a few times before my husband and I moved out of state. She gave us Oz Catering coffee tumblers the day before we left for our honeymoon cruise. There we sat on our balcony overlooking Alaska's majestic glaciers, sipping hot coffee for hours thanks to Idit! Love, Jen & Mike Ross read more

Idit Oz food is amazing! Her team is pretty incredible too! We hired Idit several times, and were impressed with her food and great service each time. We definitely will hire her in the future! Highly recommended! read more

We highly recommend Oz Catering to anyone planning a dinner party, small gathering or large symposiums. We had the pleasure of working with Idit as the main caterer for our symposium's networking hour (over 200 people). Idit was very professional and diligent throughout the entire process. She is very responsive and easy to reach by email. She is also very flexible in terms of food options and can customize a range of food options to satisfy everyone's food preferences. Idit setup all the tables and decorations. The food was classy and tasty. We were also happy that Idit took care of all the packing. As others have pointed out her dishes are delicious, and you can relax before and after the event. Great experience overall! Thank you Idit. read more

Oz Catering is fantastic! They were extremely helpful with planning our dinner for our wedding for 73 guests at our house.
