Best Caterer in PGH

THE.VERY.BEST! The Chef & I Catering are the MVPs in Pittsburgh. Planning a wedding during a pandemic had it's challenges, but The Chef & I, especially Kris & Nikki, made sure to always make me feel like we would pivot if needed. We got married at Soldiers & Sailors and received SO many compliments about the food and portions. We are a 100% Italian family so food is my family's baby and my parents, my fiancé, & I couldn't have been more pleased :)

We had a wonderful experience with The Chef and I! Our guests loved the food and we were told my numerous friends that we had some of the best wedding food they've ever had! We are about an hours away and even with travel, the food was delicious!

Amazing food and staff

We used the Chef & I for our May 2024 wedding at The Grand Estate at Hidden Acres. We cannot say enough how thankful we are for everything they did! They were so easy to work with, from our taste testing to the day of the wedding. Everyone raved about the food. So glad we had some leftovers to enjoy the next day! Thank you again for everything.
