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

I'm not somebody who gives 5 stars for much, but Nick made my sister's bachelorette so special! We…read morerented a house in Paso Robles for her bachelorette weekend and since she's such a foodie, I knew I had to do something special for dinner. Nick was so easy to communicate with and modified his menu for our special requests and needs. He and his wife arrived and did everything while I was busy decorating the home. If they weren't so kind, self sufficient, and absolutely AMAZING at making gourmet food, the night would never have been as special as it was. If you gain anything from this review, know that you will be getting: 1-delicious quality food 2-a chef with experience who is very easy to work with 3-a night you'll remember forever I will defiantly be thinking of Nick for any future trips to Paso Robles

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.

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. I was worried there would be lines at the buffet but he continuously had fresh pizza coming out of the oven. He was also nice enough to make a special "mr. & mrs." pizza for us. 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. You can't go wrong with Trattoria DiLuca!

I am not exaggerating when I give Michele 5 stars! She is an AMAZING chef, and I so appreciate her…read moreattention to using only the freshest, (mostly) local ingredients. She cooks from her heart, and prepares food that is good for our hearts! Her prices are totally affordable and attached to very high quality meals. She has always provided prompt, professional service. I have not only used her for personal chef/catering jobs, but also managed to talk her into giving a presentation on preparing healthy lunches for the workplace, particularly when you are strapped for time. (This was for the employees at Diablo Canyon Power Plant.) I now refer her to our vacationing guests who stay with us at Dancing Deer Farm in Templeton. Well, actually, I pass on her info to everyone I know who needs some help in the kitchen! Michele is truly marvelous! If you care about the ingredients that go into your food, and the intention behind the meal(s) being prepared, Michele is your go-to-girl. (Particularly good for vegetarian, vegan, and healing foods.)

She arranged a menu that accommodated 8 different diets and revised it a number of times until I felt comfortable and confident about the meals being served at lunch and dinner. Our meals were prepared on time, even with my last minute requests, whether it was adding/removing certain ingredients for strict diets or changing lunch and dinner times when our agenda was adjusted. Michele and her team were also very professional, prompt, and flexible. On top of excellent service, the food was so delicious - everything was local, organic, and fresh, just as promised. I highly recommend hiring Michele for your next event. Ask her about her chocolate avocado mousse. :)
