Mario Caffe

Great food, very personable, highly professional

Chef Mario gave us a fantastic experience for our birthday dinner.

The food was delicious and at a standard far higher than we could have ever achieved.

Presentation was also superb.

Mario was punctual and professional and we will definitely avail of his services again.

Mario was fantastic. Professional, personable and the food was delicious

I organised a chef through La Belle Assiette for a dinner party for my birthday. I will definitely be using the chef again. It was easy to book, the website let’s you choose your cuisine, chef and menu easily. The chef was great, food delicious. So lovely to eat at home without shopping, preparation, cooking or clearing up! Highly recommended.

Mario cooked an exception meal for my birthday dinner party; scallops, arichoke soup, rack of lamb with a mushroom & mustard mash side.s Throughout the evening Mario was flexible and even with a last minute notification of a vegetarian option he was able to adjust. I would highly recommend using Mario/La belle Assiette.

Excellent company who found me a great chef- Mario, also considering the type of chef I was looking for, rather than just pushing me onto just anyone. Chef Mario was great- he came very well prepared and produced a fantastic BBQ for my afternoon party. Would definitely use again

Mario was excellent - he was very easy to deal with and the food delicious
Thank you so much for co-ordinating - it was a seamless experience

Fantastic, Mario's food was great. An accommodating chef on Valentine's Day without being too overbearing. The booking process was so easy!

Great chef!

It was a Xmas present for my family as I was in Spain and could not be there. They loved the idea of having a personal chef and Chef Mario did not disappoint. He lived up to every expectation and more. I cannot heap enough praise on the whole experience! I now have enough 'brownie points' to last into next year!

Mario was an incredible centre point to our evening. He talked us through each dish, he worked alongside us to create a menu that was suitable for all the various dietary requirements - and he even created the most incredibly delicious dairy-free cheesecake for dessert. I would not hesitate to book Mario again.

We had another great experience enjoying lovely high quality food served in the comfort of our own home where we could chat with friends in a nice peaceful setting. Although the chef we got was not the chef we originally booked chef mario caffe was very accomodating to our specific requirements on the menu.

My wife and I had a pizza making cooking class with Mario. We really enjoyed the experience. Mario was very friendly and professional. He gave us some great tips and the pizzas were delicious. We would definitely consider booking him again for another class. We are also very happy to recommend him. Guillaume

Absolutely fabulous!! The food was amazing will definitely be using Mario again.

Chef Mario exceeded all of our expectations at my husband's 40th birthday! He was amazing, very personal and it was wonderful to hear how learnt to cook with his grandmothers in Italy ! Everybody loved the food and the dinner party was an absolute success ! Couldn't recommend him enough !

Mario Caffe provided us with an exceptional meal. We would highly recommend him to anyone!

What a lovely evening!!!! Chef Mario was fantastic, and his food was absolutely delicious. I couldn't recommend him higher. The best 30th bday!!!

Chef Mario was fantastic - the food was all delicious, he was very friendly and nothing was too much for him to do. We would highly recommend him!

The dinner ( for 18) was excellent and greatly enjoyed by everyone and
Mario and Nicholas ( chef and assistant ) were great.
I had liaised pre event to make amendments to the menu ( due to a couple of "fussy" eaters)and all were accommodated. Communications were easy and positive. They arrived very well prepared and after brief introductions retreated to the kitchen.
It was a pleasure to be able to relax with our guests instead of having to be cooking. We enjoyed drinks whilst they did the hard work.
I had chosen the "Spring" menu and every element of the dish reflected that with freshness.
The starter of asparagus, duck egg and Parmesan was beautifully presented and delicious. The main was chicken breast in lemon juice on wilted spinach ( with minted new potatoes added as an extra) ). The meat was incredibly tender and moist and the simplicity of the dish enhanced its pleasure. Dessert was described as a lemon cheesecake but it was presented in a glass in deconstructed form. It was pure joy; zingy and creamy with crushed biscuits and fresh raspberries. Even those who don't normally eat desert enthused.
A delicious 3 course menu, served in a friendly, casual but efficient manner. Nicholas also poured drinks throughout the meal again allowing me and Mrs H to focus on our guests.
Not long after they had cleared the dessert I wandered into the kitchen and everything was cleared , tidy or in the dishwasher.
This was the easiest , most pleasurable and best food dinner party we have ever hosted. And it was great value! We would have paid at least as much for 3 courses at our local pub but the huge saving was on drinks. We served at supermarket prices not at restaurant prices.
Huge thanks to all the team. I would commend this experience to anyone.

Very good meal and the chef was great. Very accommodating and pleasant to deal with. Would highly recommend

A wonderful evening with delicious food prepared by Mario. The most amazing tuna carpaccio I have ever tasted. Mario's stories about where his recipes came from and his family history added to the authenticity.

Tuna carpaccio was the best I've ever eaten.

Mario was very professional & tidy, and his food was amazing.

All courses were very good, although the tuna carpaccio was the star with some lovely light and fresh flavours. Mario talked us through each course although didn't reveal his grandmother's secrets which made the tiramisu so good!

The best tuna carpaccio and tiramisu I've ever had. Mario was very professional. Highly recommend.
