“I Maccheroni catered a private dinner party at my house recently. Our chef and wait staff were both professional and very friendly as they both went above and beyond to prepare and serve a delicious 3 course meal. They helped set the table, arrange furniture and set the ambiance for the evening. Every dish served throughout the evening was delicious. The arancini, ravioli and homemade pastas with crab and bottarga were my favourite dishes. It was such a wonderful night and I can not wait to host another dinner at my home with I Maccheroni.”

Marcello, what can we say - thank you so, so much for everything you did to make Saturday so fantastic!!! As you hopefully could tell from the standing ovation (!) the guests absolutely loved everything. We have had multiple comments saying that it is the best food they have ever eaten at a function. What a result!! Jon and I are so appreciative of everything - from our very first tasting to the perfect coordination of you and Camilla on the day. We cannot wait to continue eating your delicious food at I Maccheroni when we're back from our honeymoon in May. Thank you again, from the bottom of our hearts.

Just to reiterate what Janelle has said - thanks so much for all your help for our wedding. People have been raving about how good your food was, and a lot of people did say that it was the best food they've ever had at a wedding! You were the only caterer we spoke to who was prepared to work at the Fitters Workshop, and despite this you made it look easy! You and your staff's calm and confident approach made you guys a pleasure to deal with, and took a lot of the stress out of the day for us. All the best and thanks again.
