OMG - was this a great find!!!!! To bring this truly authentic, and incredibly tasty experience to my home was one of the best decisions I made for this party. The set up and (and then set up again) and clean up was phenomenally well orchestrated, the food was incredible, and I looked like the ‘master hostess’.!!! With a last-minute change of plans, what started as a party for 20 (mostly young) women ended up as a seamless gathering for 40.of all ages - and Chef Maria still made it happen with a “Don’t worry, we will take care of you” (in her comforting Italian accent!). This is only the first of - what will be - many more events on the horizon for Chef Maria - (not just with me…. But my friends too!!) My ONLY regret was not being able to show you more pix of the food and setup, but here is a few of my very happy guests. Grazie, Chef Maria, sei davvero la migliore!

Details: Bridal or baby shower • Lunch • Dessert • Yes, full service • Yes, full kitchen • Fewer than 20 guests • Standard (basic ingredients)
