Sorry I've not gotten to you quicker. But, my retirement reception
food was superb. Lots of comments on the food, the presentation--it
was just all around outstanding and lived up to my expectations. I
appreciate you all working with Trish so well to put it together and
get things the way I wanted them.
Lotsa luck in the future. Got any internships open?
See you.
Thanks again profusely.

Darcy,
It was fantastic! Everyone raved about the food. My expectations
were exceeded. I will never throw another party without Chef Mario.
Thank you so much for the excellent food and service.

"I have to say THANK YOU for the absolute delicious and healthy meals!! My girlfriend, Sharon, has given me your meals twice now since I have been sick and what a GIFT your food is!! I absolutely rave about the quality and scrumptiousness of the food.
THANK YOU THANK YOU! "
Cari
"Oh, for heaven's sake, your food is AWESOME! And lovely presentation, excellent delivery -- everyone is raving. THANK YOU SO MUCH! FOR EVERYTHING! The snapper is incredible, the veggie stacks have such good texture and depth of flavor, all the details are perfect. I'm eating the flourless chocolate delight right now... and it's delightful... Y'ALL ROCK!
I'm looking forward to our next meal together! "

"I found you by doing a search on the internet for this area. Many chefs would only cook in the person's house. My friend/work associate didn't need to deal with that. With other places we had to sign up for a time and go put the meals together ourselves. That wasn't appealing. Chef Mario offered the perfect service for our needs - he cooks the meals in his own kitchen AND delivers them! That's awesome! Thank you for the service. What I was looking for is exactly what you offer."

"Joel and I wanted to thank you both immediately for all the kindness and support you have shown us. Being able to get the whole deposit back from ya'll will help us to get all the family we desperately wanted to have at our wedding out to New Mexico. We couldn't have done it without you! Without that our wedding might not have been possible. That alone is so much to thank you for but then you cooked all this wonderful food for us. Now we can just spend our time being together before Joel leave on Jan. 4. We won't have to worry about cooking and going out to eat we can just stay in and break bread together as we won't be able to do for at least 8 months. You have warmed our hearts and fed our stomachs. I will tell everyone I know this wonderful story and how you contributed. Thank you! We are grateful for such wonderful friends and chefs!"
All our love and thanks,
Sara and Joel

"You will NOT go wrong with Chef Mario & his team. We are very difficult to please, & they have consistently gone above our expectations for food quality, flavors, display, etc. He's catered everything for us from small lunches for 10 to large functions for 200 & comes through brilliantly. In fact, several people have told me that eating Mario's food is like eating gourmet after having fast food for 2 weeks. I can not say enough great things about Mario & team...they are prompt (usually early), listen to feedback & act on it, have a wonderful passion for food & for what they do, are professional, are nice & pleasant, etc. Plus, if I want something special, like a Cuban menu, they come up with something & people always rave.
As for pricing, I give him a budget (like $15pp) & he comes up with the menu. I am a control freak, so with everyone else I need to know what they prepare ahead of time, but Mario knows us & our expectations so well that I trust him now...they can send me the menu for the week on Monday & very rarely do I ask them to make changes (we have training classes that are 2.5 weeks long, which is why I get a weekly menu specific to our classes).
Chef Mario is hands-down the best caterer in the area, in my opinion. Everyone loves his food, from my picky 2 year old to our picky employees. He's the best!"

"The Thai Spicy Beef Noodles are astoundingly good! My lips tingle. I appreciate that you have not moderated the spice for our bland American palates. Great mix of veggies and beef. I swear, if you change that recipe, I'm cancelling my order!"
Susan McNish
"I forgot to tell you thank you before you left last weekend. Thank you so much for the wonderful atmosphere created by yourself and your team. Everyone has been praising the food since the party and it was a great success! We will definitely use you for our next event! Thanks again"

"I want to thank you all so very much for the wonderful food and especially for being so accommodating and coming to our rescue providing the linens and flatware. We were a bit in a panic, but you saved the day and we appreciate it!
I also want to commend you on the great attitude and helpfulness of the staff and Mario. It is such a pleasure doing business with you and the cheerful responses we always receive is so refreshing.
THANK YOU!"

"Dear Chef Mario,
Thank you for your donation to the Food Bank of Central & Eastern North Carolina of the groceries for Kids Caf» and the demonstrations on 2-17-05 and 2-21-05.Ü We were delighted to receive such a thoughtful, practical gift. The Food Bank is fortunate to have a caring community member, and your generosity is truly appreciated. The rest of the staff has really gotten a kick out of the pictures of you and the kids!

"I wanted to drop you a line to tell you how much everyone at my party loved
your food. Everything was delicious, beautifully presented, and there
was so much of it! I have to admit that I wasn't too crazy about the idea
of Tomato Basil Mozzarella Cheesecake, and I even asked about
exchanging that item for something else. You set me straight, but neither
your nor her explanation/description did it justice. Everyone raved about
it, and it was the first thing to go!
Again, thank you very much for helping me out with my party. I was more
than satisfied (impressed actually) with the food, the presentation, your
service, and the price! If I have another party before moving to Miami
(by year-end), you'll definitely hear from me (a more than satisfied
customer). I will also tell my friends about you.
By the way, Wendy knew of your business because a while ago she had surgery
that kept her bed-ridden for a few weeks. A bunch of her friends bought
her prepared meals from you and she has always raved about the food. Now
I know why.....the food was as delicious to eat, as it was beautiful to
behold. Thanks again."
Joe Gonzalez
“Great menu this time! Very healthy and foods the kids will enjoy."
Connie Degler
"I do like the packaging because I use one for lunch! The servings are a good size, too – not too large!"
Julia Fielding
"For people like us, who are used to eating out as much as 6 nights a week, and who don’t want to hunker down over a booklet to check points, you could really make a difference"

We’re just loving the variety and the extras and you are so thoughtful and gracious to us!! Many, many thanks for the delicious goodies and the super variety!"
Marian Taylor
"You guys rock! Every other Tuesday is a day to look forward to now, with a bunch of good food in the fridge. You guys outdid yourselves this week! "
Scott Jernigan
“Everything that I have tried has been delicious! I have particularly enjoyed the salmon and the chicken saltimbocca. I love the balsamic dressing. You should mass produce it! It is simply delicious.”
Julie Green
"Everything is flawless!! I’ve been sharing the meals with my office mates, and we’re all thrilled!! Thank you so much!"
Cecily
"I have really enjoyed the ginger chicken and the surprisingly meatloaf was wonderful as I never knew meatloaf could taste so good. †I am pleased that I found no celery and if it was in anything, I did not find it. †I really love your service and I appreciate all of your hard work. "
