Hired on Thumbtack

Diego & Sara helped me plan a menu, were quick to respond and flexible. On day of, they arrived on time & did their magic while we entertained our guests. I had to have some platters but most of the food came in small cups. The food was absolutely perfectly delicious & everyone loved it! They even accommodated for a few dietary restrictions ... that goes a long way to help everyone feel special! We used their bartender services too (we provided all supplies) and the drinks came out delicious every time!! I would highly recommend them ! (This was a leap of faith for me as I never catered a party in my own backyard & didn’t meet them prior) They were also really pleasant to be around, very polite and positive !

Details: Birthday or anniversary party • Dinner • Alcoholic drinks • American - formal • Italian • French • Family style • No, drop off only • Home • Yes, full kitchen • Fewer than 20 guests • Serving and warming equipment • Premium (high end ingredients)

Hired on Thumbtack

My family wanted to do something special for my parent's 40th wedding anniversary. I found Chef on thumbtack and hired him to prepare the meal in my parent's Iowa City home. From start to finish Chef was the ultimate professional. He promptly responded to my first email inquiry and immediately set up a phone appointment so we could discuss what we were looking for. Based off of that first conversation he emailed me a menu with numerous meal ideas for our sit down dinner. The process was stress free and Chef assured me all we would need to do was show up- which was true! We chose 4 appetizers, a salad course, a pasta course, an entree, and a dessert. We dressed for dinner, poured some champagne and Chef began serving us the appetizers while we sat in our living room. The appetizers were absolutely phenomenal. After we were finished, we moved into the dining room for the rest of our courses. The food was absolutely incredible and the best meal my family has ever had. In addition, the relaxed and fun atmosphere Chef created was simply incomparable to any meal we have ever eaten out. We were not only impressed with the food, but also by the level of service the Chef delivered. He and his staff cleaned, cleared plates, and did dishes in addition to the preparation of the meal. I cannot say enough good things about this experience. As my dad said to me the following day: "that was a perfect evening!" He and my mother are already talking about hiring him again to cook a meal for them and their friends. Thank you, thank you for one of the most memorable evenings my family has shared!

Details: Special occasion (birthday, anniversary, etc.) • 6 - 10 guests • Dinner • Dessert • Cocktail hour / hors d'oeuvres • Premium (high end ingredients) • Dessert • American - formal • Italian • Meal prepared onsite • Only once • My home, venue, etc.

Hired on Thumbtack

My husband and I have only done take-out from restaurants since the pandemic started. We wanted a special experience for our anniversary, so we decided to hire a personal chef for a dinner on our deck. We found Diego on thumbtack and are so glad we did. He sent us an appetizing menu of options from which to select for each course. The food was wonderful and even more amazing than our pictures show. Our favorite was the rigatoni, but everything was very delicious. So happy with our experience, and we felt safe the whole time as he was taking appropriate covid precautions. We will definitely hire Diego again!
