Before she left our area we stocked up on "anika food" via freezing and canning her creations. It was a sad day when we finally ate that last jar of carrot ginger soup.

Anika and her cooking are great!!…read more I really cannot say enough good things about our experience with Anika and her amazing food. If you are a busy professional or family who is trying to stay fit and eat healthy, but lack the time or creativity to come up with fun and tasty meals, I would highly encourage you to reach out to Anika. Anika was able to work with some tricky dietary restrictions and make outstanding meals, each and every time. Value wise, the time she saved us in the kitchen, at the grocery store, cleaning up, etc., was worth more than what her very reasonable fees are. All in all, if you have ever considered hiring a private chef for yourself or for your busy family, look no further than Anika!

Chef Gina helped create a special dinner for a 10-person bachelorette party this past weekend and…read moreit was EXCELLENT! I am an event planner so was prepared to help set the table and help with any service items, but Gina brought an asst. with her and they took care of everything making the evening so smooth and special with their service and the food (they do this quite often, so have a very good system!). The food was outstanding! 10/10! Hours later, sitting around the fire, people were still bringing up how amazing the food was and what an impressive night we had with Chef Gina. Chef Gina herself was quick and easy to communicate with, was open to my suggestions on the menu and happily accommodated our groups' dietary restrictions, and then was a joy in-person to talk to and work with. I think our group will be thinking about and reminiscing on that dinner for a while. I would highly recommend Chef Gina without any reservations, and I hope she and I have a chance to collaborate again!

Bravo Catering absolutely crushed it. From start to finish the experience was seamless and the food…read morewas unreal. They catered a surprise birthday party for my girlfriend and truly helped make the night unforgettable. They are an Italian caterer and everything was made fresh on site which made such a difference. The pizzas came out hot and perfectly cooked all night long, the meatballs were incredible (crowd favorite), and the fresh penne pasta with marinara was a huge hit. The bruschetta and salads were fresh, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. Giuseppe was an amazing chef. You could tell he genuinely cared about the food and the experience and it showed in every bite. Raquel was a fantastic coordinator who kept everything running smoothly and was so friendly and easy to work with. The entire staff was professional, welcoming, and brought great energy to the event. The desserts were outstanding. An incredible assortment of Italian pasticceria that was the perfect way to end the night. They also do pop up events, and you can find their schedule on Instagram. Definitely check them out. Will absolutely use them again in the future and highly recommend Bravo Catering for any event.

There are no shortage of great things to say about Chef Josh. We've used him twice now for…read moredifferent celebrations and he has knocked it out of the park each time. In fact, after his latest visit we all agreed we needed to start bringing him in quarterly. Chef's cooking style is best described as transformative. He takes ingredients you'd never dream of being the star of the dish and makes it the most delicious thing you've ever tasted. Our last dinner we reqested to be completely vegetarian and he did not disappoint. Even the non-vegetarian at the dinner was blown away and left being the perfect amount of full. My husband avoids certain veggies in our day to day (texture) and the way Chef Josh cooks - well we've never left a plate bare, I can tell you that much. And when Chef Josh isn't looking.. we may have licked our plates clean. Pickling, crisping, pureeing, caramelizing - everything he puts in front of you "WOWs". Besides the food he serves, which is well worth the money, Josh's service is unparalleled. He is prompt, friendly and wonderful to chat with. He brings everything in and does all clean up as if he was never even there. Whether it's a date night, an intimate gathering or a group to impress - I would recommend hiring Chef Josh 110%. If you're even considering a private chef, look no further because there truly is no better!

We had Josh serve us for my wife's 60th birthday! Josh did an incredible job and exceeding our…read moreexpectations. This was the first time we have ever used an in house chef for a dinner party. Josh made the entire process seamless and handled all of the details. He arrived on time and left our house cleaner than before he arrived. We had 3 amazing appetizers, a wonderful white fish dish, phenomenal beet salad and over the top steak and gnocchi main course. Josh topped off the evening with a pear fruit and cake desert. Josh was very personable and was very interactive throughout the entire evening. Thank you very much for making my wife's birthday a memorable evening. I highly recommend Josh is you are looking a personal chef.

I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Chef Ron pulled off an amazing menu for a group of 14 adults with a wide range of dietary needs…read more (We had a few shellfish allergies, gluten free, vegan, vegetarian, and pregnant menu needs.) This was for my husband's 40th birthday dinner. I was so excited for each course that I forgot to take many photos. The food was outstanding in taste and presentation. For example, my husband likes spicy food but the rest of us don't like the same extreme level of spicy. I in particular am a huge wimp when it comes to spicy food. But Chef Ron took this information and made a spicy dish that we all could enjoy and it didn't burn my tastebuds off. The vegan and vegetarian guest were especially appreciative that the dishes they were served were not just side dishes, but rather proper whole dishes very similar to what everyone else was eating with some brilliant alterations. All the guests had a great time and raved about the quality of the food, cooking, and presentation, but the way I know for a fact that they weren't just being polite in their words, was that after every single course the plates were practically licked clean. When I reached out to Chef Ron for this special birthday dinner I was looking for something that was restaurant quality and fun and wasn't stressful. Chef Ron checked all those boxes and then some. He was extremely easy to work with on the menu and was beyond professional and fun during his explanations of the dishes. I will be looking for another reason to hire him in the future.

Chef Lucio created a beautiful heirloom tomato salad, a beautifully plated Argentinian board of meet that included various cuts & sausages that were accompanied by sides of chimichurri and Cabernet salt (which was AMAZING).

He incorporated amazing flavors to dishes that I've had before but his touch elevated it. If you are in need of a private chef, definitely hire Chef Lucio!

I was entertained by Chef Daniel. He was born and raised in Italy in the Lazio region. I had talked…read morewith him a bit while he prepared a 36" Paella from scratch in the back yard of a dear friend's promotion ceremony. Although I have heard of Paellas being made by personal chefs or other 'specialty' catering companies, I thought it extremely challenging for Daniel to make it for a client, especially since there was going to be a Chef (me) attending the celebration. He even questioned me as to my credentials . . . I did the same with him. I think it's slightly a Chef thing. I figured Daniel caught on to me at that point when I was very curious as to his final product since Paella is one of the most technically difficult dishes to pull off. Since I had participated in a similar Paella party at one of my camping adventures in our RV, I knew the sequence that Daniel was following. He executed perfectly. I think Daniel also provided a bit of charcuterie as an appetizer, but it was the Paella that stole the show. Daniel even brought me a plastic fork (culinary school all over again) to test the creation as the rice was cooking to sample the flavor, consistency and doneness. BTW, Daniel even had a nice crusty bottom on that paella. Super nice guy. My five stars represents my hope for this company, although this was certainly not a five-star meal; it was however, a skillfully executed dinner party with Chef Daniel at the helm.
