Lawrence S. says, “Gio catered a private dinner on Christmas Day for my family of 20 persons. I thought it would be tough to get a great personal Chef for Christmas Day, but Chef Gio returned my inquiry right away and we had a contract the same day. I live in Naples on the west coast of Florida and Chef Gio came all the way from the east coast of Florida to cater to my group. He was excellent in every way. On time. Excellent menu. Professional set up and clean up and a fine young chef in all respects. I would highly recommend Chef Gio for any of your special event catering needs.”
