Booked for Birthday party

Mario was extremely helpful prior to the event able to accomodate any changes we needed. Very profession, the food was amazing and beautifully cooked. Wide choice of canapes and main courses to choose from around the Italian theme and was able to pick my husbands favourite dishes for his birthday event. I would highly recommend Mario for any event.

Booked for Hen party

We absolutely loved our experience. I was a bit worried about organising everything for our event (a hen do in a rental cottage in the middle of nowhere) but everything was made so easy for us and went without a hitch. Great portions and cooked to perfection, the food was absolutely fantastic and was talked about for days afterwards! Thank you!!
