- "We loved our dinner. Chef Elisabetta showed up at our house at 5:00 with all the fresh ingredients and immediately went to work. My wife and I sat back and waited for our guests to arrive. At 6:30 we were all enjoying wonderful appetizers and at 7:30 we had a delicious meal of perfectly cooked pasta and beef tenderloin. Dessert was a stunning flourless chocolate cake. It couldn't have been easier and Chef Elisabetta is the real deal. She comes from Rome and knows her Italian food. Randy - Private Dinner party for 6

- "Delicious! Chef Elisabetta prepared an amazing Italian meal to celebrate my husband's 50th birthday. The evening was paced well with plenty of time to enjoy the wonderful appetizers (beautifully presented) before sitting down to a fantastic three-course dinner. The risotto was crazy good, the tiramisu dreamy. And there was plenty to go around, no chance of running low on food. It was perfect in every way, wouldn't have changed a thing." Lisa
- "Food presentation is as stylish as chef Elisabetta. We all loved her appetizers, so creative and delicious. She is very thoughtful and brought her own dishes for our dinner so all guests can have matching dishes. The helper was great, made my hosting so much easy." Evelyn
- "Elisabetta is AMAZING! She is kind, helpful, and extraordinarily patient and attentive. After a million back and forth emails of me deciding what to serve for my birthday dinner - she graciously helped me figure out the menu including wine/cocktail pairings for each course. She came on time and well-prepared. She event brought along extra appetizers and desserts (more than we had previously arranged for!). She was especially mindful of some of my guests dietary needs, making sure they could have everything (just modified). She is extremely kind, personable, and professional. I couldn't speak more highly of she and her assistant!" Christiana Private Dinner Party for 18

She was wonderful to work with and extremely responsive (never took longer than 5 minutes to get a response!). She provided her advice and opinion when I needed it and you can tell that she really cares about what she is doing. And the food....it was just delicious. everyone at the cocktail party was raving about the food. And the presentation was so elegant! She is a wonderful person and chef and I look forward to working with her again very soon." Caroline Cocktail Party for 30

- "This was my first experience with having a personal chef/caterer. Elisabetta surpassed our expectations. She was great to work with and after we decided on a menu, she even helped me with wine choices to complement the meal. I can’t begin to describe the food....it was decadent! We even got compliments from a couple of attendees (whom I wouldn’t have expected a comment from) about the meal she prepared. They said: “I truly think that was the best catered meal I have ever had.” I really enjoyed meeting and working with her and hope to do so again very soon! I can’t recommend her highly enough… you won’t be sorry!" Chris

- "If I could give Elisabetta & Team 6 stars I would. Our wedding food catering search was very short lived. We had our first wedding food tasting with Think Italian Events! and that was the first and last food tasting we had. Immediately after meeting her for our wedding food tasting, she won us over. She made our food tasting experience so easy; she never once pushed us or put any pressure on us (like most wedding vendors). Once we quickly finalized them to cater our wedding, she was an absolute pleasure to work with; she is organized, responsive, attentive, detail oriented and so incredibly sweet. She is very good about knowing your likes and dislikes and makes sure that you are 100% happy with your decision. We chose her, not only for her sweet demeanor, but her Italian food is top notch authentic ITALIAN. True Italian that tastes like a home cooked meal, which is hands down one of our favorites. Elisabetta did not make us your typical spaghetti and meatballs, she cooks much more! At the wedding, she served delicious bites for the happy hour portion. For the reception we had Veal Saltimbocca, Roasted Wild Caught Salmon, Eggplant Parmigiana, and so much more. Finally for desserts, we forgoed serving cake and instead had a dessert table serving her homemade desserts - Tiramisu bites, Panna Cotta and more paired with a coffee and tea table. We are so impressed and couldn't have chosen a better caterer for our wedding. The food, service, and everything all around was absolutely amazing. I would recommend Think Italian Events! to anyone who needs catering for any party, event, or wedding. We would even love to have Elisabetta come over and cook a homemade meal! Thank you to Elisabetta and crew - you made our wedding experience more than amazing and memorable. It's been a couple months out and we are still hearing about how delicious the food and dessert was. Now THAT is a compliment :)" Denise Wedding Dinner Party for 125

- "I had a great time learning how to make gnocchi with Elisabetta! I took a 2 person class with my boyfriend and he also loved it. Neither of us really cook that much, but Elisabetta made it so easy, answered all of our questions, and gave us enough direction that we could do everything ourselves. We made two types of gnocchi and also made Tiramisu. Very professional, organized, and considerate. We had a blast. Thanks Elisabetta! I would highly recommend her class." Irene January 31, 2016
