While they cooked the house smelled divine, when it came to tasting the flavors were beautifully bright and balanced. The octopus ceviche they created was hands down the best ceviche I have ever had. We will be recommending them to everyone we know and definitely hope to use their services in the future. Thank you Viveka and Isaac for creating a cherished memory of our first wedding anniversary

I tried some items from the food truck at Olympic Village during the Made In Tahoe Festival…read more Service was friendly and the menu seemed the most interesting and desirable to me of the food truck options available. I got a Thai Veggie Curry and a Thai Chicken Curry and shared them with another person. Both were excellent, quite tasty, and well prepared. The veggies were so fresh and delicious and still had some crunch to them. The rice was equally delicious and what I appreciated most was the curry was light and the dish wasn't swimming in a soupy mess... it was all nicely coated Everything is sustainable, organic and containers recyclable. All good stuff. The portions were quite adequate and at $14 per meal I thought it was worth it. The only criticism I have is they seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, although not terribly busy. However, regardless I highly recommend their food.

My boyfriend and I became patrons of Chef Michael Barone's other business, Walden's Coffeehouse, a…read morefew months ago and have always been wowed by the food there (which I've also reviewed), particularly the specials that he creates. So when we started planning our wedding, we were thrilled to hear that our favorite local chef also caters... While our wedding is still in planning stages, we decided to have Mangiamo cater a simple family style dinner for our family and friends to be sure of our choice. In short, we are sold! But for the sake of a more thorough review, I will elaborate further. We just wanted the basics... a pasta dish, a salad, and bread. We were served a baked penne with a spicy marinara topped with mozzarella, spring mix salad with cranberries, candied walnuts, feta, and vinaigrette, and crisp pugliese bread with garlic and herb butter spread. The pasta was a total standout from the vast majority of pastas I've been served, ever. The perfect balance of garlic, the subtle sweetness of basil, and bite of chili flake was spot on. Thankfully, Michael brought enough food for all of us to have seconds, or thirds. It was the kind of dinner that you are already full, but you keep eating just because you want to keep tasting it. An excellent chef can take a very simple meal and make it amazing and memorable. Chef Michael Barone does just that. He also anticipated several of our needs and details that I had completely overlooked, so I feel confident that Mangiamo will deliver for us on the big day. We have not only found a caterer, but also a new friend.

I live on the San Francisco mid-Peninsula, and decided I wanted a gourmet catered dinner for our Thanksgiving Day celebration so that I'd have lots of time to spend with Dad--without the challenge of buying, transporting, storing and cooking foods. I'm so glad that I reviewed Yelp and read the wonderful reviews of Mangiamo. Michael has relocated to the Reno, NV area, but still caters events in the San Francisco and San Francisco mid-Peninsula area. Now that I've had the pleasure of meeting Michael and enjoying his handiwork, I will continue to use his catering services for events at/near my mid-Peninsula home as well as any celebratory family meals we'll need as we finalize the Estate in NV. I recommend him to others in either venue--SF mid-Peninsula or Reno area-- wanting a delightful catered meal.

Whipped mashed potatoes with chunks of roasted butternut squash Delicious pan drip gravy Sauteed green beans with toasted almonds Mixed green salad with dried cranberries & crispy candied walnuts--accompanied by homemade pear vinaigrette.

Chef Jonathan puts on a raucous, joke-filled (R-rated), cooking show with audience participation and brings along a wonderful cast of cooking teammates to make for a wonderful event! When we arrived at our friend's home, there were appetizers and drinks out. Chef Jonathan laid the ground rules for the live show, and then the jokes started. I'm sure he would use different one's if kids were present, but if you're over 18, all bets are off! LOL The live show had humor, great smells, drinks handed out, and tastings for the guests. He made food for vegetarians, lactose-free dishes, and all different types of food preferences...truly a remarkable feat. During the show, I learned a few things, laughed a lot, and was VERY entertained. The food was DEEELISH! There was plenty of food for everyone, and a lot of good times were had by all. With the holidays just around the corner, if you want to have a memorable dining experience for your friends and family, DEFINITELY call Reno Recipes to reserve a date!
