Most recently they curated a fantastic family style meal for my birthday dinner. Each dish was so thought out and full of flavor.

Can't wait for the next event to include The Prancing Chef in!

From the very beginning, his presence brought a sense of ease, confidence, and quiet luxury to every moment. Fresh hand made ingredients created the most savored tastes. Better thab we imagined. Everyone loved the food. Andre seamlessly executed the rehearsal dinner, tended bar and hosted horsdeouvres, drinks and canolli for deserts at our Santa Barbara wedding--each delivered with remarkable precision, intention, and grace. His ability to read the room, adapt in real time, and execute flawlessly (even under unexpected conditions) speaks to a level of professionalism that is truly rare. The unexpectes rain during our wedding reception did not stop his flawless execution. We are grateful to Andrei and I LOVE TO CATER for bringing this Italian flare to our very special wedding day.

They were to provide…read moreappetizers, main course and desert with a server and all necessary items like plates, cutlery, napkins, etc. All in the written contract. I confirmed the timing several days before the event. Andrei showed up (on time) with no server, no plates, etc. Sent him to the store to get these items. He set up all the food at the same time and left. We had to do the serving ourselves. He didn't return until the next morning to pick up his stuff which we had to put out of the way. Only received two of the three main courses we ordered, food was mediocre at best. Very disappointing.

Trattoria di Luca catered appetizers for cocktail hour and a pizza buffet for dinner. It was a huge hit! The food was absolutely delicious. We particularly loved the calabrese and carbonara pizzas.

His staff were also incredibly nice and attentive. Nathan is so much fun to work with. He was also extremely responsive and helpful throughout the planning process.

Alex and his assistant, Kelsey, were prompt. Both were very professional, but friendly. The food was outstanding as everyone in our group of 5 agreed. Alex made a cocktail of the evening for all of us. We had three canapes: smoked salmon crostini, smoked lamb and carrot hummus bruschetta, and an apple and bacon empanada. On to the seated dinner: 1. A cauliflower soup 2. Salad with pears 3. Short rib on a bed of potato and cauliflower with roasted asparagus. A delicious sauce accompanied the entree. 4. A caramel apple bread pudding for dessert. Again, the entire meal was excellent, and as all of us are foodies to varying extents, we would all recommend Alex for your event.
