I hired Daniella for a birthday dinner for my wife and her friends. Daniella was very responsive and helpful throughout the process. There was one hiccup as we had a nut allergy that was relayed prior but one of our sides had nuts. Daniella did advise the group that were nuts were in the rice before anyone ate. Not the end of the world but just a bummer for one of the 7 guests. Otherwise the group thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Daniella was on time, able to let the ladies enjoy their time while she prepared and cooked the meal. The food was great and I wouldn't hesitate to hire Daniella again.

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • I'm flexible • Dessert • American - casual • American - formal • Italian • Mexican / Latin American • Mediterranean / Middle Eastern • Asian • French • Indian • Dairy intolerant • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We are so happy to have found Chef Daniella! She recently catered a company retreat for us and we couldn’t have been more thrilled with the results. At every meal, the dishes were tasty, with high quality ingredients and beautifully presented. Daniella and her serving team were detail oriented and very professional. She was also extremely helpful with menu planning and accommodated all allergies and dietary restrictions. If you are looking for a chef to cater your event, I highly recommend using Dani Bensimon catering. We will definitely using her services again.
