★★★★★“Chef Anthony was incredible. The best way to kick off the bachelorette! All of the food was incredible and he was so professional.”
★★★★★“Chef Anthony was incredible! He was communicative throughout the process, his expertise was thoughtful and reassuring, and he was punctual and professional. Best of all - his food was superb. He helped make a special occasion that much more special. 5 stars and we’ll definitely be booking again!”
★★★★★“Anthony was great! He was super communicative and accommodated some changing party details like total count and a dietary restrictions. He had everything he needed and left the kitchen cleaner than it was before! Overall, he put on a great dinner for my sister's bachelorette. Every meal was delicious! The dessert was wowza. You may have had vanilla icecream -- but I guarantee you it's not as good as his :0 He left us the leftover icecream to to enjoy for the rest of the trip! If you are hoping to put on a nice at-home dinner in Portland, I 10/10 recommend!”
★★★★★“Incredible!!! Not only was the food the center piece of our weekend, but Anthony was so personable and enjoyable to have as part of our special day! (micro wedding). I will 100% be hiring him for events in the future!”
★★★★★“I hired Chef Anthony for a surprise 50th birthday dinner for my wife and her best friends. Chef Anthony is easy to work with and very responsive. He helped guide me through the menu with suggestions and made the entire process easy. Needless to say, my wife and her friends were blown away by the dinner. They raved about the food and couldn't say enough about how personable and fun Chef Anthony is. He created an unforgettable experience for my wife and we are truly grateful.”
★★★★★“Chef Anthony Licari was phenomenal. Both food and plating was fantastic. He was incredibly flexible, quickly customizing things for a picky toddler to ensure everybody was taken care of. Everything presented came with a thorough explanation of ingredients and inspiration. He was extremely personable and attentive and did not leave a single detail out of mind. Truly an amazing dinner! 10/10 recommend”
