We had the most amazing experience with Amoraco! We have never hired a personal chef and it was such a great experience. We had a fall bbq with 40 adults and 40 kids. Everyone raved about the food and kindness of our chef and her assistant. I could not have asked for a better experience. We will be hiring her again.

I recently had the pleasure of hiring Amoraco for my birthday party, and I cannot express enough how fantastic the experience was from start to finish. The professionalism and attention to detail were evident in every aspect of their service. Tamara took the time to understand my vision and preferences, tailoring a menu that perfectly suited the occasion. The variety of dishes offered was impressive, and each one was prepared with the utmost care and quality ingredients. On the day of the party, the catering team arrived promptly and set up everything seamlessly. The presentation of the food was exquisite, showcasing their culinary expertise. Guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious appetizers and entrees. Every bite was a delightful burst of flavor, and the portions were generous. What truly set Amoraco apart was their exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and professional, ensuring that every guest felt well taken care of. They went above and beyond to accommodate special requests and dietary restrictions, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, Amoraco exceeded all my expectations and helped make the event a memorable success. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a top-notch catering experience. Five stars all the way

I planned a small dinner party for my husband's 40th birthday and Tamara was amazing to work with. She helped me put the menu together, was very responsive with any questions I had and was able to work with my budget. For the actual event, she was punctual, professional, and also followed COVID guidelines wearing a mask and gloves. Her food was absolutely delicious. We had a seafood bisque, scallop risotto, and rack of lamb. She also helped us find a bartender for the event. I 100% recommend her to anyone who is planning a similar event or needs a private chef. I can't wait to work with her again in the future!

Really solid experience with Tamara and the Amoraco team. Good communication leading up to the event. Day of, they were on time and ready to work. Neither the chefs nor the servers required much direction or management (they seemed to be total pros and knew when to do what and how). The food was great, our guests were happy and the Amoraco team left the event space in lovely shape when they left (quietly and without disturbing the party that was still going on; they cleaned up [very well] and left the remaining food out in a nice way). Overall super. If I have another event, I'm hiring these guys.
