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!

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.

He sent me the teppanyaki menu and pricing. Reserving our date and time was easy, I just paid 50% upfront, and he was extremely flexible with the food options. On the day of the event, Italo and his helper arrived right on time and handled everything. They even offer three different color set-ups to choose from, which made the presentation feel really special. All I had to provide were the drinks and cups. The food itself was fantastic, and the teppanyaki show was so much fun! To top it all off, they finished with a crêpe station for dessert, which was the perfect final touch. I also learned that they do brunch, Italian dinners, and even pasta-making lessons... so many great options for future parties. I will definitely be booking them again. If you're looking for something unique, delicious, and stress-free for your next event, I highly recommend Take Chef Home!

I was attempting to book a chef for a micro wedding and received a proposal from Chef Percia Sanchez through Take a Chef. At first, I was genuinely excited--she appeared flexible and open to menu adjustments, which felt promising. However, that was the only positive part of this experience. I followed up with questions just one day after her last message. At that point, pricing had not been updated, so I wasn't able to move forward with booking. Then... nothing. No response. I waited several days and still didn't hear back. After reaching out to customer support (who had to contact her directly), I was told two days later that she had already booked another client for my date. Not once did she communicate this to me. Even more frustrating--our message thread was deleted, so I couldn't even reference our previous conversation. No update, no courtesy message, no apology. Just silence and a disappearing act. Customer support suggested I look at other proposals, but after this experience, it's hard to trust the reliability or professionalism of this platform. Communication is the bare minimum, and unfortunately, that standard was not met here.

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.

I had one Zoom call with Francesco prior to the event, and he assured me that it would be a unique, dynamic experience and that everything would go well. He is such a warm and welcoming person and I completely trusted him-- which I'm glad I did. The event was chaotic due to the number of people, but they handled it with grace and made everything fun. We had applause break out a few times-- when does that happen with adults? Not often. But they really liked making pasta and I was here for it. Because we had the event outside at Coastal Roots Farm in January, it was a bit chilly. But both Julia at the farm and the whole Cucina Migrante team pivoted well and made the best of the whole experience. I really liked that this felt like an experience and not a class. It felt fun and not forced. AND it was delicious. I think that's what you can expect from this company, so I highly recommend them.

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!

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.
