Booked for Anniversary

Mario was excellent right from the first message. He was responsive and was always able to guide me through the steps of choosing a menu and ensuring that the evening was well prepared for. He arrived on time and quickly got to work preparing a fabulous meal. It was totally worth the money and I will be looking to book Mario again in the future for.

Excellent food and service. Matt is a very likeable and his attention to detail was very good. After the meal we could not tell that he had been and used our kitchen to create such a fabulous meal. Antipasti sharing board, Beef fillet, oxtail croquette, textures of onion, confit carrot and red wine jus followed by Chocolate and amaretto torte, cherry compote, crème fraiche. All so good.

Wow! Wow! Wow! Ian and his wife were just fantastic!! The food was brilliant and the service was flawless!
