Chef Nico was a pleasure to work with. During the initial consultation, he listened to my vision for elevated appetizers on a budget, and he came back and presented a menu that met both needs. He stayed in contact with me leading up to the event, and the day of the event, he was punctual and set up for the party well in advance. He and his staff member, were very professional and the food tasted amazing and was well-seasoned (as my guests told me throughout the event and afterwards). In addition, because I was talking to guests, taking pictures, and/or dancing the entire time, he fixed me a plate and brought it to me as a reminder that I needed to eat, as well. I thought that was so thoughtful. So yes, I recommend Chef Nico and would hire him again for another event.

Chef Nico provided delicious food with variety and quality. Many who attended the reception commented on how good the food was. Chef Nico was very accommodating of my menu requests. He was easy to work with. He also provided good value for the price. He prepared three different varieties of chicken salad croissants. The one I had was excellent. I would be happy to work with him again.

I hired Chef Nico to cook for a bachelorette party. He helped me to make a custom menu that would best fit our needs. He was great at communicating and answering all my questions. We loved everything he cooked. The ribs fell off the bone they were so tender. The Mac and cheese was so flavorful we were scraping the bottom of the pan to make sure we ate it all. The other meats were delicious as well. His mixed drinks were fantastic. We had so much fun and would definitely recommend Chef Nico to anyone.

Details: Shower (baby, bridal, etc.) • 11 - 20 guests • Dinner • Standard (basic ingredients) • Dessert • American - casual • Italian • Barbecue • Southern • I'm flexible • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

We hired cookwhere( chef nicco and Sam) to do a omelette and waffle station for our daughters 1st birthday party. The food wasn't only amazing their service was as well! Very professional, interactive with our family and friends. And they were great with the budget we gave them. Even threw in more than we asked for with breakfast smoothies which tied on very nicely with the brunch themed party. Hands down excellent service. Hopefully we will see this team again for my sister in laws wedding! Thank you so much Chef Nicco and Chef Sam!
