    I've tried finding mozz and mortadella as good as what they sell here in Italy, and I failed. No…read moreone beats Mike's when it beats to purveying the very best salumeria and cheese, among other provisions. The prepared dishes also hit different. The famous eggplant parm is phenomenal. I don't even like eggplant and I'm in love with this dish. All of the sandwiches hit too. The Italian sushi is interesting, but eat it fresh as the arugula doesn't stand up to refrigeration too well. My perfect foodie day is going to Mike's, buying some mortadella and a ball of homemade mozzarella, then popping into Madonia's next door to get a loaf and some fresh hand-filled cannoli.

    After seeing an Instagram post about its Italian sushi, I decided to take a trip up to Bronx Little…read moreItaly. There's a line at this small aisle. I finally was served by Chef David Greco himself. He beat Bobby Flay in Eggplant throw down. You can see the picture of him on the show. Dave is super friendly and engaging. The Italian sushi is definitely very innovative. Soft prosciutto is rolled in sushi style with filling of arugula, cheese, and sun dried tomatoes. There are two kinds of dipping: balsamic and pesto. Both of them are complimenting the sushi. Eggplant parmigiana is definitely a must try. It's like a lasagna made of layers of thin fried eggplant. You can make mozzarella pull. So delicious, not surprised that he beat Bobby Flay.

    We had the pleasure of having Scott, Chef Vita, and their staff cater our wedding. They were an…read moreexcellent part of our dream team! From the beginning of the process, Scott was responsive and worked with our schedule for the tasting. We were able to make a selection from many dishes and after trying their food we were sold! Especially the NY strip steak with bleu cheese! We received so many compliments on the food and many of our guests even went to compliment the kitchen team themselves! The Balinese chicken turned out to be my favorite, but they were all amazing! They made way more than enough food for everyone and brought containers for our guest and us to take the leftovers home. We love not wasting food! With our budget, we were thinking we could only get a decent caterer, but we lucked out with LDV. They are without a doubt one of the best in the business! They catered to our needs and even made suggestions on how to reduce cost. In our case we brought our own drinks for their bartender to serve, which helped reduce cost. This turned out amazing and our bartender, Mark, helped make it a smooth and tipsy night for our guests! Last but not the least, their service was top-notch. They helped with the buffet so people there would be no crowd and made sure everyone got their food in a timely manner and even made plates for my husband and I so we didn't need to take the time! We were ecstatic with the service and it was one of the smoothest parts of the entire wedding. 5-stars all-around.

Here's why we jumped at the chance to work with Scott and team: - no problem or request was too much - every email or phone call was returned - they kept every commitment: timing, cost, and of course, the food. Now let's get to the food. Word one: abundance. So much variety, all fresh, some surprises (gourmet jerky with a perfect French mustard) perfectly displayed despite the limitations of the space. The passed hors doevres were prepared on site and were delicious, beautifully served, and ample. For reference, this was a wedding cocktail reception for 30 people, Mid day, I would absolutely hire Scott and LDV for a similar event and I would not hesitate to have a full dinner catered under his watchful eye. Note: Scott's staff were professional, poised, and friendly.

The garlic rice is absolutely worth the extra $3, no question. And all of the pickled veggies across dishes were standouts (bright, flavorful, and balanced everything really well). The chicken bao was probably my favorite bite. It was packed with meat and layered with pickled veggies, would probably order a full plate of those (wish I had taken a better picture). The lechon isn't the traditional rolled style--it's more like softer chicharrones with two large sheets of crispy skin. Not traditional, but honestly delicious and very satisfying texture-wise. Not pictured but took the ube flan and regular flan home and it was delicious. Not sure what they add to the caramel but it felt slightly richer than usual. Super good.

    I had a wonderful meal here with my kids. At first I thought I was at the Bronx and even though…read morethey're at the edge, they are most definitely located in New York. Parking was. A little bit of a challenge being on the street and I really didn't feel like parking a distance so after a few circles, I was able to park my car a few doors down. Maybe best to plan ahead at busy times. I came wjth my three kids and we ordered Lumpia Shanghai which was gone in an instant. We then settled for Adobo, Sinigang, Sisig and Fried Chicken. The whiff of the food definitely brings you back to the motherland. The spices and even the way it's cooked. Everything is authentic! Had I had a bigger appetite, I would have had a slice of the ube cake on the counter. Also, can't forget the calamansi juice! So refreshing! Everyone is extremely friendly and beyond respectful. The next time I come back, I'm looking forward to eating Kamayan style.

She answered every question promptly and had great suggestions. The day of the event the catering trucks showed up early. Steve and his crew set up with unbelievable speed. Everything looked so beautiful. Everything looked so professionally done with amazing little touches like flower garnishes, and fancy gold chafing dishes. Hot foods were served hot, cold foods were served cold. They even had a proper carving station with heat lamps. It all looked so amazing and tasted even better. All staff was in uniform, and they were very cheerful and polite. They went above and beyond the entire day to help me and my entire family to make sure everything worked out beautifully. People were raving about how delicious the food was even days later. We had neighbors telling us. The smell from the food truck were making them crazy! I especially have to give a special call out to the flank steak with the chimichurri sauce. At the end of the event, they packed up quickly and quietly, and I hardly even knew they were here. They wrapped up all the leftovers beautifully and left everything neat as a pin. I can't say enough good things about these people. Please don't hesitate to use them for your next party or event. I know who I will be using in the future if I have the need for a caterer.
