Very charming and friendly caterer, but big on promises and short on delivery. Without warning the caterer/chef DID NOT ATTEND the event (without a fallback plan) and left it to his under-manned staff. He later explained to me there was a family emergency, we understand it are sympathetic to that however business is business and he should’ve had a fallback for such contingencies, he did not – – and our event suffered as a consequence. The caterer insisted on payment in advance and now I understand why… A sample of problems in no particular order: Some of the agreed-upon menu items WERE NOT SERVED. The staff were confused. They were more than 30 minutes late in serving dinner which delayed our overall event from beginning on time. They were not prepared to serve alternative menu items that were agreed-upon in advance. We received multiple complaints comments and concerns about dinner… The wait time, the portion size, the temperature of the food, etc. This was very disappointing. Caterer staff placed water bottles reserved for dinner tables out during cocktail hour and told patrons not to drink them, without providing other alternatives for drinking water. An issue that was discussed at length prior to the event. There was an unacceptably long line at the bar as one of the bartenders was wearing a cast which limited his ability to prepare drinks. The bar area was lacking linens and looked unprofessional. I could go on and on but suffice to say we were very disappointed in how the dinner portion of our event was conducted and how this reflected on our overall organization. When I brought all of these issues up including forwarding comments from our patrons left as reviews, the caterer did not refute any of these issues but refused to issue any percentage of a part, insisting only on a future credit or possibly catering a private dinner – – neither of which were very enticing. Buyer beware.

Mr. G was amazing for our company holiday party! Even with last minute changes (last minute guests who were vegetarians) he and his team were so professional and accommodating. People raved about the pasta as well!
Mr. G turned our Thanksgiving into an unforgettable Italian feast! His authentic cuisine experience was creative, delicious, and perfectly executed. Every dish was bursting with flavor, and the warm hospitality made it feel like family. Highly recommend for a unique holiday celebration!
Chef G was amazing! He arrived on time, brought all the ingredients, and immediately got to work. The food was delicious, and he even stayed longer to make sure every guest was served and satisfied. His professionalism and dedication truly stood out. Excellent service — I would definitely hire him again for future events!
Mr. G went so far above and beyond for us. Not only did he accommodate starting over an hour late, but he really made the night special with his food and company. The food was amazing, the chicken marsala really blew us away. Every aspect of his service was impeccable, I have nothing but the highest praise and appreciation.
Simply incredible! Mr. G elevated our celebration to the next level. He turned my friend's 30th into a day we will all remember. Food was cooked to perfection and deliciously seasoned- I felt like I was back in Italy. He did this all on just 3 days notice. Highly recommend Chef G.
Mr. G. is special. His cuisine is top level, and infused with his joie de vivre. He will make your event a night everyone will remember and smile. What more can you ask?
Mr.G’s Hospitality Company was amazing to work with! This was by far the best vendor/catering company I have ever worked with. He is extremely professional and prompt with communication and answering all of your questions! My experience was nothing but smooth from beginning to end. The food was spectacular and I received so many compliments. Particularly the lasagna was a favorite amongst our guests. The appetizers were so good and professionally presented. His team helped with serving our guest to ensure portion control. The thoughtfulness behind every aspect of catering, he thinks of! He prepares the food fresh and has the best team. We walked through menu options and he laid out exactly what I wanted for our guests. He provided vegan options as well and really tailors the menu for you and your guests. He ensures his trust not only as a business professional, but also as an experienced cook! I will be booking him for all my future events and have already referred him to friends and family!
5 star cooking, 5 star team, 5 star personality and 5 star Italian authenticity. Your guests will never forget him or the food he prepares.
What an amazing dinner!!! We are so happy we found Mr.G to experience incredible Italian food and a beautiful night for our valentines event with family
“We had the pleasure of having Chef G cater our child’s birthday party, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! The menu was incredible—perfectly cooked Chicken Marsala, creamy Cacio e Pepe, and the freshest Burrata that delighted both kids and adults. What made it extra special was how Chef went above and beyond by adding a whimsical touch with mermaid-themed cupcakes and a fun, interactive cookie decorating station for the kids. The attention to detail and care in making the party magical were unmatched. Highly recommend Chef G for any occasion!”
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing an unforgettable dining experience for my wife’s birthday, thanks to the exceptional skills of Mr. G. This was our first time hiring a professional chef so we were not exactly sure what to expect. Mr. G put us at ease by being flexible with our requests and taking steps to ensure that we would be happy with our event. Mr. G arrived promptly and had all of his required utensils, dishes, and cooking essentials ready. After introductions, he began preparing the food and throughout the entire cooking process, he maintained a clean area while creating beautiful and delectable dishes. I could tell he paid close attention to presentation as well. The evening began with a delicate Salmon Tartare Canapé appetizer that was a perfect balance of freshness and flavor, expertly prepared. The Angus Meatballs (one of his specialty dishes) that followed were rich and savory. For the main course, Mr. G delivered a fresh handmade pasta Cacio è Pepe with black truffle and pecorino cheese that was nothing short of extraordinary. The pasta was perfectly al dente; every bite felt like a luxurious experience. To finish the meal, we had Panna Cotta for dessert. It was silky smooth, just the right amount of sweetness, and topped with a delicate berry compote that provided the perfect contrast. It was the perfect ending to a meal that left us in awe. Mr. G truly went above and beyond to create an unforgettable celebration. His attention to detail, passion for Italian cuisine, and charming demeanor made this a truly special evening. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend him for any occasion. His culinary artistry is an experience not to be missed. Thank you Mr. G, for making my wife’s birthday so memorable. We’ll definitely be hiring you again!
We had a small, intimate wedding, and it was the first time for us and our guests to experience a personal chef—it was truly amazing. The food was delicious, beautifully presented, and the entire process was seamless. As a busy bride, I appreciated being able to handle everything via text. The only hiccup was that I had informed the chef we couldn’t have additional servers due to our Airbnb’s 25-person limit so I was going to use 2 of my guests who would be helping. On the wedding day, he brought three extra team members, which resulted in an additional charge from the host of the Airbnb. However, I didn’t take down a star because the servers were incredibly professional and elevated the experience—they were professionally dressed, had a great attitude, and made my guests feel like VIPs. The chef even came out to check on everything, adding a personal touch. Overall, having him and his team there made our day even more special.
I hired Mr. G for a birthday dinner for my friends and I was truly blown away with the level of service his team and he provided for my guests and I. The food and attention to detail was amazing! I will be using his services again and I will recommend him to everyone because the experience was TOP NOTCH! Thank you Mr. G!
Wonderful experience! Mr. G drove down to San Diego to cook for us and everything he served was perfection. We greatly appreciated Mr. G engaging with our babbling bachelorette party as he cooked our meal. Looking forward to another opportunity to hire him!
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing catering services from this company, and it was truly a delightful and personable experience. The 4-course meal that was served was not only delicious but also prepared with great attention to detail. The fresh pasta, chicken, and salmon dishes served as the main courses were all outstanding and left a lasting impression. What truly set this catering experience apart was the wonderful staff who were not only attentive and professional but also incredibly personable. They went above and beyond to ensure that every guest felt welcomed and attended to, making the event truly memorable. Their willingness to assist with anything and everything truly added a special touch to the overall experience. I highly recommend this catering company for anyone looking for a top-notch dining experience with a personal touch. From the quality of the food to the exceptional service provided by the staff, this company exceeded all expectations and made our event truly unforgettable. Sadly I don’t have many pictures but trust that the food is impeccable !
Mr. G was very nice and easy to work with. His team was very responsive to our needs and kind to all our guests. The food was amazing and I'd highly recommend him.
Working with Mr. G was incredible, he is a joy to work with and his food made my 30th birthday incredibly special. He is reliable, prompt and exceptionally talented. My guests could not stop talking about how exceptional the dinner was, and what a 5 star experience Chef G brought to us. I am excited to work with him in the future.
Mr. G gave us a delicious meal and an incredible experience. This was our first time with a personal chef who came to our home. It was the best Italian food I've ever had. The chicken marsala melted in our mouths. The appetizers took us to a different planet. Mr G was so nice and friendly and super funny with his stories. We are already planning our next event!
Mr. G did a phenomenal job of catering for our party. He cooked everything on-site and was a true professional. We had around 50 guests and Mr. G had everything covered by himself. I was so impressed with the quality, taste and experience. Everyone at the party was raving about his food and how delicious it was. People were going back for seconds and thirds. I highly recommend having him cater for your events! You won't get a better experience anywhere else.
