Kitchenina is absolutely terrific. We hired them to do the catering for our wedding and everything about the experience was first rate. Our reception was for 100+ people at our house so space was limited but they understood exactly how to handle everything. Aliki was friendly and professionsal (As was the entire staff). She listened and helped us decide upon the menu and her advice was spot on. She was incredibly helpful without ever being pushy. Kitchenina stayed in touch with us in the weeks and days leading up to the wedding to make sure we were all on the same page. On the big day, the first thing to mention is that everything they served was delicious. They provided fast and courteous servers to pass around appetizers and their bartender kept up with a big crowd with skill and speed. The dinner was ready exactly when it was supposed to be as well as the yummy deserts. Everything ran like a well oiled machine from their arrival and set up through the appetizers, dinner and deserts. They cleaned up quietly and efficiently and were very unobtrusive while doing so. We are very happy with Kitchenina and highly recommend them! You will be glad you hired them and the food at your event will be a big hit. read more

Would give zero stars if that was an option. Pathetic customer service. I had eaten their food at an event and kind of liked it. But their team is way too arrogant to be working in the hospitality industry. I reached out to them and did not want to use their servers, hence they wanted me to remove a few appetisers that would have to be assembled on site (which is understandable). To this, Aliki said we can't share our recipes. Who is even asking for your recipes? This lady is has no patience and is obnoxious. We were expecting some really good company for our event. If the service and food were good, I would've spread the word in all my circle. Very glad it didn't work out because it's their loss. read more

We hired Kitchenina to cater our wedding and we are so glad we chose them. Aliki, Kostas and their staff are nothing short of exceptional - the food is amazing and delicious, their service is outstanding, and overall the experience left us so grateful that we had them on our wedding day. The salmon and pasta were divine and my husband just was so happy with everything. The guests also said the food was great! Aliki and Kostas, thank you for being so kind and helpful throughout the entire process, we are forever grateful! read more

Steak was terrible texture, pasta was sweet and strange. everything seemed like it was cooked the day before. Salad was good Passed appetizers were ok read more

We're so grateful to Kichenina for the incredible work catering my mom's 85th birthday luncheon. Aliki was wonderful to work with, helping me plan a menu and help with logistics for the event, and Chef Kostas and bartender/server Idris were outstanding. The food was amazing! Thank you all so very much. read more

What can I say, but "WOW!!!" Kitchenina catered at our wedding earlier this month, and they were worth every penny. From the get go, Aliki is so welcoming and so responsive to all of the questions I had (and there were a lot, as we decided to do our wedding ourselves with no coordinator). Everyone at our wedding loved the food, which was what was the most important to us. Everything went wonderfully with their professionalism and experience in this industry. My husband's sister is still talking about how delicious the chicken potstickers were and how we need to order more catering from them for other events. I will always recommend them as a caterer to anyone that asks! read more

Kitchenina was exceptional from start to finish and is an easy recommendation for anyone planning an event. The food was a major highlight of our wedding. Multiple guests went out of their way to rave about the tri tip and the chicken, and the Greek salad was one of the best I've had. Portions were generous, flavors were excellent, and everything was served hot and on time. Aliki and her team were professional, organized, and very easy to work with throughout the planning process. Communication was clear, timelines were handled smoothly, and execution on the day of the wedding was seamless. They were calm, efficient, and clearly experienced with large events. We chose Kitchenina for our wedding and would absolutely book them again for future events. If you want high-quality food, reliable service, and a team you can trust on an important day, Kitchenina is a great choice read more

I'm really not the type to complain about food, my friends even joke that I think everything tastes good. But unfortunately, Kitchenina's food was one of the biggest disappointments of our wedding day. We were recommended Kitchenina by a friend and, trusting their suggestion, we decided to skip the tasting (which we now realize was a mistake). The menu sounded wonderful, steak and salmon, but the food quality was extremely poor. The steak was so tough that my husband literally couldn't chew or swallow it, and this wasn't just one bad piece every bite was the same. Practically almost all of our guests told us the same. The salmon, on the other hand, was the opposite: it had no structure at all and fell apart into a mushy, mashed texture. The cocktail hour appetizers were decent but unimpressive they tasted like basic store-bought meatballs rather than something prepared fresh for a wedding. The one positive was Aliki, who was wonderful to work with, very kind, responsive, and professional throughout the planning process. I truly wish the food had matched her level of service. read more

If we had to summarize our experience with having Kitchenina cater our wedding, it would be amazing food, amazing service! We got married at OVY Camp in San Gregorio, CA in May 2023 with a headcount of 165 guests, including 10 children. Kitchenina had catered dozens of weddings there and was highly recommended by the venue, so after we looked at their menu online and found dishes we liked, we contacted them to learn more and check if they were available on our wedding date. Kostas provided a very professional tasting experience at Kitchenina's kitchen in Redwood City. We loved the dishes we tasted, including the chile verde mac and cheese, teriyaki chicken, and coconut curry tofu. We left the tasting with all of our questions about the menu, rentals, and logistics answered. We requested menus and quotes from a few of our venue's other recommended caterers, but Kitchenina's fresh menu appealed to us most and was the most affordable per head. Aliki and Kostas explained that they buy ingredients in bulk because they cater a high volume of meals for large tech companies in the Bay Area and pass on the savings from buying in bulk to their customers. In the month before the wedding, Aliki scheduled a meeting with us and our day-of coordinator to go over all the details, including headcount, logistics, and rentals. Aliki helped us add rentals and had us specify the color of the napkins and tablecloths. She also went over all of our questions about dietary restrictions of guests. Many dishes are gluten free, dairy free, or onion and garlic free without compromising on flavor! Day of, the set up and service went very smoothly, thanks to the professionalism of the bartenders, servers, and chef. The servers kept the buffet line flowing, while the bartenders moved guests quickly through the line for drinks. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming, creating a positive atmosphere for our guests. The team put together a beautiful dessert table that guests loved. Partway through dancing, the servers put out our late night snack of spanakopita and flatbread. At the end of the night the staff worked with our coordinator to pack up all of our decor and the leftover food. They left the space incredibly clean and tidy, which was especially helpful because we had guests staying on site and using the space for activities the next day. We would absolutely recommend Kitchenina to any couple planning a wedding in the Bay Area. Throughout the whole process, Aliki and Kostas were professional, warm and friendly, quick to respond, accommodating of our needs, and knowledgeable about everything we would need to make our event a success. They are pros in this business and it shows in everything they do. Their past experience catering at our DIY venue made the process even more smooth because they could tell us exactly what to expect. Thank you for making our special day so special, Aliki, Kostas, and team! read more

Kitchenina catered our wedding earlier this month, and they knocked it out of the park! The food was delicious, and the service was spectacular. We got compliments all night on how delicious the food was. It was also easy to put together a selection (we served dinner buffet style) that had plenty of vegetarian/vegan and gluten-free options. We saw several guests go back for seconds, including one of our vegan guests. Even before the event, Kostas and Aliki were incredibly helpful. They helped us settle on our menu and gave us other pointers and tips to make our day go smoothly. In addition to the meal, they also set up our dessert table (we rented dessert stands from them). We would highly recommend them for any and all events. read more

Kitchenina was the caterer for my wife and my wedding and they were absolutely fantastic! Food - Absolutely amazing. We met with the chef a few months before our wedding and was able to try out some potential apps and entrees and it was a hard task because everything was just so darn good! My absolute favorite was the bacon jam steak. After the wedding, I had many family members come up to me and tell me how delicious the food was. Professionalism and service - Awesome! Aliki (the business owner) was in constant contact with us throughout the wedding planning process. We knew all the details months before the wedding and it really made us feel good to know that the catering was going to be handled with accuracy and efficiency. If you are looking for fantastic catering and professional service, go with Kitchenina! -Jeremy and Mackenzie read more

Kitchenina was our caterer for our intimate wedding of about 50 people and we are so happy with our decision on choosing them! WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND KITCHENINA for their delicious food and level of professionalism! They are a family run business and we loved that their son was helping out at our wedding, he was so sweet and charming! From the very first phone call to schedule our tasting, it was very evident that Aliki was very reliable and super easy to work with. She is also very fast to respond to emails, which we highly appreciated. At the tasting, we had the pleasure of meeting Kostas and we were just blown away with all the delicious food. We were supposed to pick 3 of the 4 appetizers, but ended up getting all 4 because we just could not decide! You can tell that they use only high quality ingredients for their dishes. Everything tasted so fresh and perfectly seasoned. Our favorite dishes from the wedding was the salad with beets and goat cheese (multiple guests have mentioned to us how much they loved the salad and kept on getting more!) the angus beef tri-tip, sesame ginger salmon, and OMG.. the asparagus lemon risotto-- SO GOOD! One thing I truly appreciated was that Aliki was very kind and comforting since she told us that she understands that this was probably the first time we ever worked with a caterer and she was always so helpful throughout our whole planning process. LOOK NO FURTHER FOR YOUR CATERING NEEDS! Kitchenina will be your best decision! read more

I had a fantastic catering experience with Kitchenina for my open house. First of all, Aliki, was a pleasure to talk to and indispensable in planning the logistics. This was my first time hosting an event like this and she made it very easy and straightforward. The appetizers that she suggested were perfect (see below). Blackberry mint burrata crostini Spanakopitas Veggie spring rolls with a sweet chili dipping sauce Chicken potstickers with a Teriyaki sauce Cocktail shrimp Beef meatballs with Chimichurri sauce My favorites were the crostinis and the meatballs! I was pleasantly surprised to have some leftovers to sneak home with me at the end of the night. The server, Madelyn (sp?), was an absolute gem. She went out of her way to make sure every guest was well taken care of and had perfect timing on bringing out each appetizer. Definitely worth it!! read more

They catered my wedding in 2022. The food was sooo delicious and several of my guests had unusual allergies and they handled them all so wonderfully! I am celiac and the entire menu was gluten free. They were amazingly carful and there were plenty of leftovers. I loved them. If I ever have another big event I will totally use them again. They make delicious food and are sweet people to work with, too! read more

In my experience, wedding food is one of the most forgettable aspects of the event. Not this wedding food!!! Our experience with Aliki, Kostas, and the whole Kitchenina team was anything but forgettable. When guests go out of their way to tell you how much they loved the food you know they mean it. The kind woman managing the floor and general flow of service was Camille, and she was absolutely brilliant. She was so kind and accommodating, even when we made a mistake on the seating chart she handled that situation with grace and efficiency. Kitchenina is so fortunate to have Camille on their team. Every item on the menu was superb. The biggest hits were the definitely the Verde Mac and Cheese and the Chicken Satay, but everything was just wonderful including the Tri Tip and California salad. Guests are encouraged to come up for seconds or more. At the end of the night everything they cooked for you is packaged up to take home. Sadly, the Verde Mac and Cheese was so good there were no leftovers but we see that as a a wonderful sign! As the bride and groom we had a great view of people going to receive seconds and there wasn't a plate returning to it's seat without that mac and cheese, with the exception of our Vegan guests of course. Kitchenina was so accommodating to our three Vegan guests. They were able to make Coconut Tofu Curry and all who had it absolutely raved about it. I wish Kitchenina had a restaurant so we can eat from them again. The Kitchenina team is so professional and helpful as they help you plan your special day. The team they send on the day of the event is on point and everything moves along as it should. Our outdoor ceremony space was also used as our dining area. The Kitchenina team set up all tables and made our ceremony space a dining hall in the blink of an eye. They really were so efficient in all aspects of the day. We could not have done it without them! read more

Kitchenina is seriously the best!! Let me first start off by saying they want to make business with them as easy as possible. From the very first point of contact - finding their information online and looking through their website, everything you would want is right there. Including information about what they can make (including ingredients) to the services they provide. And when you contact them, they actually respond quickly and with important information. Aliki is the first point of contact and she is very professional. From each conversation both on the phone and email - she always puts your needs and your concerns first. Secondly, she will help with advice as needed to help in any way to help your event move smoothly. Constantine is the head chef and he really knows his stuff. They offer a very professional tasting where you can sample a limited menu. At the tasting, you can discuss options on how to make the menu better, flavor profiles, and individual ideas to make the dishes fit your personality and style. And I have to mention that their menu is AMAZING! There are so many dishes that sound great, it made us want more than we needed to serve! Everything is organic, farm to table, healthy and even gluten/vegan friendly options with modifications available per request. If you have a special request, I bet you they can accommodate. When the day came around for our big event, they exceeded our expectations - and our guests! This was the first time they had worked with our Venue, and they were able to step in and make the event seamless! Months later, our guests still rave about their food and service! The staff they hire remembered which guests had tried what appetizers, consistently fed each guest, and stepped in where any help was needed so nothing was amiss. Many guests had been to events at our Venue before and had the Venue's food - which is not good. When they had Kitchenina's food (not knowing they were not associated with the venue) they were very pleasantly surprised! Constantine and his crew made sure that every guest got as much food as they could eat; and they made sure the bride and groom got enough to eat during photos, cocktail hour, dinner, and even help to cut the cake - free of charge. All in all, Kitchenina's small family business provides excellent food and service at a reasonable cost. We are so happy to have found them and truly think our wedding day would not have been the same without them. Every guest raved about their food and service - not one negative review! read more

Alright y'all, this is a long appreciation post for Head Chef Kostas and Aliki, as well as all of Kitchenina. First and Foremost, our wedding day would not have been complete without Kitchenina's amazing and scrumptialicious (idk if this is a word lol) food. From the appetizers to the main course, the food was beyond stupendous and out of this world. I am not even overexaggerating. When Jubilee and I first met Kostas at our first tasting, we fell in love with his cooking. Aliki - if I could duplicate your husband I would do it in a heartbeat because Kostas can cook!!! You know love and passion are real when it comes out of their food. When we were at the tasting, the food was literally bursting with flavors and LOVE. Did I mention "love"? I'm gonna say this a whole lot in the review. Any who - I stayed in communication with Aliki and also voiced my opinions on what we would like but also asked what would go good with what. I'm not much of a foodie and know much about pairing, but I am forever grateful for Aliki and Kostas for having patience with us and also pouring out their knowledge of food and what goes best with what. Kitchenina was the first food vendor we saw out of the three that we were supposed to try out and we both said YES TO KITCHENINA! The hospitality and quality of food and service that Kitchenina provides, again, is beyond amazing! Even the week leading up to our wedding, we had a bit of a hiccup on our end but Aliki and Kostas were both very understanding and showed a lot of compassion/empathy. The day of the wedding - look y'all - Kostas greeted the both of us after our ceremony and during cocktail hour - no one was supposed to be in the reception area, I felt like Kostas brought so much comfort and peace of mind when he came to greet us. Look y'all HUGS are so important and let me tell you, Kostas came with a warming hug and reassured us everything will be okay. Kostas asked us if there was anything we needed. Kostas and the staff of Kitchenina's hospitality is to live for and witness. I appreciate y'all so much and cannot thank y'all enough for the wonders and beauty that came with having y'all serve y'all amazing and wonderful food! Guests were nonstop raving about the appetizers - most would not stop eating the appetizers and when it came time for the main course, folks still went in for more. We had leftovers and when we took it home with us - I was beyond satisfied. Here's a picture of myself with my brideTribe after eating meatballs and samosas provided by Kostas and Kitchenina as a whole. That smile did not just come out of nowhere. It came from the love that was in the meatballs and samosas. Everything was perfect and wonderful and loving and beautiful! If I could rewind back the hands of time - I would just to experience Kitchenina all over again at our wedding. ALSO KOSTAS CUT OUR WEDDING CAKE WITH NO EXTRA CHARGE. MANNNN MY GUY CAME IN CLUTCH BECAUSE IT COSTS A LOT MORE MONEY FOR CAKE CUTTING TOO HAHA. All in all - we love you both Aliki and Kostas, plus all of Kitchenina's staff. Y'all are the most caring, loving and sweetest people ever!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! FROM THE FAITALAS!!! P.S. WE WILL UPDATE OUR REVIEW ONCE WE RECEIVE OUR FINAL PHOTOS FROM OUR PHOTOGRAPHER AND VIDEOS FROM OUR VIDEOGRAPHER!! read more

Kitchenina - our first picture together after ceremony - happy asf because we just grubbed on some juicy meatballs paired with delicious samosas ! - Caterers Near Me

Wanted to circle back and say, "Thank You". Everything was absolutely delicious! My guests were raving about the food. Also, I really appreciate that you were able to take my order in a short period of time and adjust due to my headcount change. The delivery was on time, serving utensils were a bonus and the delivery person was very professional. I felt like a winning hostess. Thank you so much! Carla read more

Awful. Hot food came cold, crackers just thrown on a plate, cheese thrown on a plate. Zero utensils. Dipping sauce that didn't even go with the food. Every single label was not one thing ordered. Guests didn't know what they were eating. You should be ashamed. I took one bite of a cold empanada. Disgusting. read more

We hired Kitchenina for a beautiful summer party at our house and were super happy about the choice: From the first contact with Aliki until the end of the party, it was a very smooth experience. All our guests loved the mostly vegetarian finger food bites and were thrilled about the main courses, salmon and beef. Camille was our waitress, she set everything up at our home, gracefully and calm. She did a great job serving our guests, attentive and smiling. At the end she stayed till everything looked again speckless. They were fast to respond, amazing hosts, and caring people. If you have a party where you wish to concentrate on your guests, offer healthy and delicious food and habe no worries, I can highly recommend Kitchenina! read more

Aliki & Kostas accommodated our schedule and invited us to their home for a tasting. Aliki & Kostas were extremely hospitable and kind. The tasting portions was very generous. The tasting felt more like a meal with friends than it did a formal tasting. We were super impressed with how delicious and tasty the food was. Both recommended alternative options and informed us how they could change the ingredients for our guests' dietary restrictions. With their experience and flexibility, they offered to make us a plate to eat in the kitchen with them since on the day of can get busy for the bride and groom to sit down and enjoy the meal. Something we never seen or would of thought of BUT was the BEST suggestion and lifesaver during our wedding day. We didn't die of starvation and we got to try each item we selected for our reception dinner. Kitchenina was helpful and flexible. We did add and take items away from our orders up until the week before the wedding but Aliki made it happen. This made it less stressful knowing that they were flexible with changes. There was some hiccups, as with anything but Kitchenina came through and corrected the hiccups. On the day of our wedding during our photoshoot, Alikie ran out to our photoshoot area with a plate of hors d'oeuvres to make sure we got some food in us. Super thoughtful and sweet. After our photoshoot, we met Aliki & Kostas in the kitchen who made and kept a plate of food warm for us and our photographer. Aliki, Kostas & their staff made sure we had something to drink and if everything was okay. We even had time to take a selfie with them. Later, we found out that Aliki & Kostas whipped up a plate for one of our guest who had a dietary restriction we weren't aware of. We were impressed and grateful that they were able to improvise a last-minute plate. They didn't bother us or need to check in with us to see if was okay nor did they charge us extra, they just did it. Their staff was very friendly and always had a smile on their faces. The demeanor of the staff was very welcoming and approachable. For the bar, we didn't realize we had a bottle of liquor that was not on our drink menu but the bartender was creative and used it to make a sweet tea lemonade cocktail that was a hit with our guests. All in all, we are extremely satisfied with the food and service that Kitchenina provided for our important day. Thank you! read more

Thank you so much for helping make our Celebration of Life an enjoyable event. Aliki explained all of the details over the phone, and within a couple of hours I had received a quote. The Chef also reached out to me the morning of our event to confirm the timing of how we wanted the food to be served, which was awesome! Everything worked out wonderfully, and we had so many compliments from the guests on the delicious food. Both servers were very well-timed, friendly and professional. Thanks again! read more

I cannot say enough good things about Kitchenina. From the planning to the prepping to the clean up, this company is perfection. The food was fantastic. I could not have asked for a better addition to our Christmas party. The most professional team I've ever had. And the guests loved them. Aliki has a wonderful way with people, they just gravitate to her kindness. I will ask Kitchenina to cater every even I host now. read more

I've worked with Aliki & her team for a couple of my wedding clients. Her attention to detail & professionalism is above & beyond. Then to top it off she has amazing food! My fiancé is such a picky eater & loved everything served at the last wedding we coordinated. You can't go wrong with anything on the menu. Her staff is always super helpful & polite. I'd recommend them to anyone! Can't wait to work with Aliki and her team for our wedding! read more

We just had Kitchenina cater our holiday party and they were excellent. Very professional, organized & pleasant. The guests kept complementing us on how great the food was. Also, during the party, the servers were asking me many times what can they do to help, which I appreciated. I had them refill the guests' wine glasses, if any looked empty & they were very happy to do that. They left the kitchen clean as well. They were amazing. I highly recommend them. read more

Amazing value, kind and flexible staff, and delicious food! We booked our wedding with Aliki and her team in 2020 and had to move our wedding due to COVID. Aliki worked with us to move to a new date and we didn't lose any money in this transfer. She was also very accommodating and patient as we changed our mind back and forth between different buffet and plated and adding and removing extras. We did our tasting at their kitchen in a church/school room and it felt very welcoming and custom. We're happy to support their small business but also knew we were getting an experienced team who knew what they were doing with wedding catering. Everything turned out great! Our guests loved the food, we ended up choosing buffet style with tri-tip and chicken marsala, the seeds and greens salad, asparagus rice, rolls, and green beans with goat cheese. We missed the cocktail hour while we were taking pictures but guests said everything was great. The staff was so professional and everything went seamlessly. I would highly recommend Aliki and her team to anyone! We had a great experience. read more

Kitchenina is absolutely amazing! Their food is delicious, allergen conscious and reasonably priced. We loved that we were able to taste the food before signing the contract (a requirement from them - but it makes sense). Aliki was very responsive to our phone calls and emails during the 5-6 months before our wedding day. We especially appreciated her "real talk" advice about what and how much to order, and she never tried to oversell us something we didn't need (such as extra appetizers). The service on the day of the event was flawless. Our guests raved about the food and the presentation. Everything was perfect. We highly recommend Kitchenina! read more

OMG please book Kitchenina for your next event or wedding! We booked in December of 2020 and had our tasting in June of 2021. The tasting was so wonderful and Kosta's the chef was very nice. We loved everything that we tasted. Aliki, who I believe is his wife was the one we were in contact with during the whole planning process and she was there to answer any questions we had. Our wedding in October went very well and everyone loved the food. Kosta's came over to us during the dinner reception to make sure everything was to our liking. We would hire them again for any catering service! Thank you both! read more

TLDR: Aliki, Kostas, and the entire Kitchenina crew were incredible to work with. They were communicative, efficient, and alleviated so much stress before and during the day, and most importantly, the food was amazing!!! We started working with Aliki and Kostas almost a year before our wedding. We didn't love any of the vendors on our venue's preferred list so we went looking for better and found Kitchenina. Our first experience with them was a tasting that was basically a 5 course meal. We got to try multiple appetizers, side dishes, entrees, and a salad. Needless to say, it was delicious. I keep asking Kostas if he will bottle the sauce he used for the salmon so I can buy it. On the day of our wedding their team was amazing. They transformed an empty museum exhibit hall into our reception dinner in less than 2 hours, setting up 19 tables, 2 buffets, 2 bars, and a sweetheart table. All 190 guests had been served and finished eating in less than an hour. We never had to worry about a single thing on the day, if anything came up, we never noticed and they didn't tell us haha. The food was so good we were excited to eat the leftovers for the next week! We also were purchasing our own alcohol for the reception and Aliki let us ask her bar manager tons of questions so we could make sure we had enough variety and quantity in our alcohol and mixers. We cannot recommend Kitchenina enough, they were amazing to work with, incredibly kind, and remarkably talented. read more

We were absolutely pleased and impressed with Kitchenina, and couldn't be happier that we decided to go with them for our catering. They were extremely accommodating to our guests with dietary restrictions, and one guest with a strong gluten sensitivity even said she had never felt more accomodated for in her life. The staff was super friendly, kind, warm, calm, and professional, and they handled the whole thing like clockwork. I really appreciated all the help and guidance, including their help with the timing of breaks for food service, and their help setting up for the cake cutting (worth noting, the cake was from a completely different vendor). Overall I just had a great experience with the staff. And the food! Oh my goodness, the food. It was one of the best meals I can ever remember having, and -definitely- get the Spanakopita if you're thinking about it. I was totally blown away, and couldn't stop eating them. The food was amazing, and the selection is intense, with great photographs of all the dishes on their website. Everything defintiely tasted as good as it looked on there too. For costs, they are very reasonably priced, and I felt like I was getting quality equivalent to one or two steps up on the cost scale. Definitely a very affordable upper-middle tier caterer. (with upper tier defined as service appropriate for the queen of England, aka, way too expensive for most of us.) Overall, I was beyond pleased with them, and because I doubt I will throw many more huge parties like this in the future, I want to tell everyone I know about Kitchenina, and how amazing they are. Five stars, excellent value for cost, amazing food, great staff and service, just all around amazing job. I highly recommend them! read more

We were very happy with our catering from Kitchenina for our 130 person wedding! The tasting was excellent and Aliki was very responsive for the months leading up to the wedding. I had a strict budget, and Aliki was very patient with forming the menu with me. I had multiple questions and changes that I requested for the food, silverware and utensils and all sorts of things randomly throughout the past 6 months, and she always responded very kindly and thoroughly to my requests for quotes. I truly appreciated that she always kept my budget and special requests in mind. On the wedding day, our servers Steve and Alessandra helped with our buffet style meal and were very professional and courteous. I had only expected them to stay to cut the cake, but they stayed longer to help clean up our tables, which was not something I had expected them to do. We had no other staff and was just going to have to clean up everything ourselves, so I felt very grateful to have them help us. After the wedding, all our guests had very positive things to say about the food. They loved the tri tip and the garlic butter chicken. The pear and Gorgonzola salad was amazing, and most people went for second rounds. Even though many people had two plates of food, we still had extra to take home. I highly recommend Kitchenina, as both their food and service are outstanding. My experience with them was definitely one of the highlights for me both during the wedding planning process and the wedding itself. If you want a pleasant and stress-free caterer, Kitchenina is the way to go! read more

Aliki, Kostas and team did a phenomenal job catering our wedding (~125 guests) this past weekend. The food was delicious and their staff was super friendly. Many of our guests stopped us throughout the evening to tell us how great the food was and how wonderful the catering team was. They were a warm presence. Aliki and Kostas were there with us every step of the way to answer questions and help us dial in our order, and also gave us great advice for how to serve the food to ensure it turned out perfectly... and it did. I highly recommend working with Kitchenina. They are a dream team! read more

We had backyard wedding on October 1st and Aliki and Kostas were absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend Kitchenina highly enough! The food was amazing, the staff was so friendly and on top of everything and most importantly Aliki and Kostas are fantastic people. It is so nice to work with a true family business and with people who care as much for their customers as they do. Aliki was so helpful in the lead up to the wedding and was willing to work with us on everything. When we were stressed in the last minutes she calmed us down and assured us that everything would work out and she would be there to solve any problems on the fly, should they occur. And she did exactly that. Everything went perfectly and I have no doubt Aliki played a huge part in that. Again the food was amazing, we had multiple guests approach us during and after the wedding saying they had never had such good food at a wedding! And on top of that the servers during the wedding made sure that our entire wedding party was able to try all of the appetizers and even ran us drinks. The staff went above and beyond to make sure we got to enjoy everything our guests did. At dinner Aliki prepared us heaping plates packed with everything and brought them to our table and we actually had time to enjoy our meal. To sum it up definitely go with Kitchenina for your wedding they are the best! read more

I cannot recommend Kitchenina more highly. We hired them to cater our gorgeous wedding at Deer Park Villa and are beyond thrilled with the experience we had. From the prompt and pleasant communication during the year of planning, to the execution of an outstanding and elegant dinner service, we are so thankful we chose Kitchenina. The attentive, professional, warm and talented team provided us a dreamy experience. Our guests are still RAVING about the food! My husband and I were so impressed and I wish I could eat our wedding meal over and over again it was so delicious. The personable warmth of Aliki and everyone at Kitchenina is what will stick with me most (although it's hard to top that tri-tip, Aliki's beautiful personality reigns supreme in my memory of my wedding catering!). Aliki was so kind and not only did we receive a free hour of bar service in choosing Kitchenina (which REALLY helps in the budgeting of a wedding!), but Aliki was also so kind and helpful in providing extra platters and buckets for waters, appetizers, and our desserts (which we brought ourselves and the caterers generously served and beautified!). Choose Kitchenina for your wedding, you will NOT be disappointed. Just outstanding. read more

I will highly recommend kitchenina , including their food and service! I was so anxious before the wedding, but when I went tasting at their house, I feel so secure and relief when i met them, because they are just the nice and wonderful people, the food is delicious and plus "organic" and "fresh". and they are trying to help us with the wedding , even the decoration. on our big day, they are very efficient and nice, they try to help with everything, they even brought their own decoration stuff for my wedding cake table to help me out. they are not only the vendor, i will say they are more like partners to me with the wedding! fantastic catering crew!!!!! read more

We were so glad to hire Aliki and the Kitchenina team for our wedding at a remote location with 100 guests. Not only was the food delicious from appetizers to mains, her staff was professional, caring, and went the extra mile. Our experience working together was so smooth and we also enjoyed the tasting which helped us select entrees and small details like the beautiful tableware they have available. We recommend 100% - especially if you have a wedding in a difficult location - Kitchenina handled ours with exceptional grace and class. We will remember forever! read more

We were beyond thrilled that we hired Kitchenina to cater our wedding. The staff were fantastic, Aliki and Kostas were great to work with and made our wedding better than we could have ever imagined. The bartender Camille was perfect and loved by all our guests. The food was delicious and what my husband loved most was that they were the caterers but they did not stand out at our wedding. They blended in really well with the wedding and really were a great presence there. We plan on hiring them for our future catering needs! read more

Kitchenina is quite wonderful!! From the food tasting, communication, dietary restriction requests, to the actual wedding day catering services, professionalism, staff, and excellent food-- I would give Aliki and Kostas 1000 stars. One week after our wedding, our family and friends were still raving about how delicious and perfectly prepared the food was. Guests commented on the fact that they could go back for seconds. I love how the food felt like a home-cooked meal, making the wedding day even more special while celebrating with family and friends. Considering we had our guests served buffet style, Aliki hand served and delivered our food to our table. The attention to detail was everything and more. Choosing Kitchenina was the best thing that we could do for our magical day!! read more

Kitchenina has been fantastic to work with. We have used their services three times and each time the food was fantastic, service was quick and on time and everyone involved has been friendly and easy to work with. They were able to accommodate multiple dietary restrictions with ease as well. We will continue to call on Kitchenina in the future for our catering needs. A+ !! read more

Aliki of Kitchenina catered a luncheon in our home this past Sunday and we could not have been happier. Everything was beyond perfect: food exquisite and fresh, Aliki's efficiency and delightful personality; organization and attention to every detail enabled guests and hosts to focus on socializing and spending quality time together. Aliki herself is so professional and pleasant to work with. Many of our guests commented to me on how impressed they were with every aspect of the catering. Next time we have an event we will definitely call Kitchenina first. read more
