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 :)

Great to work with

Nikki was fabulous to work with and the food was great! We opted for stations, which I was nervous about, but it worked out so well. We got a lot of compliments on the food, especially the carving station ham.

Unique Food and Great Service

The Chef and I were courteous and professional from day 1. An excellent tasting followed by clear expectations about services and pricing. They helped accommodate a smaller wedding than they usual cater for, which was appreciated. There are also numerous gluten-free options which was a bonus to many in our friend and family group.

The food itself was phenomenal (smashed potatoes with flavor from a wedding caterer??). They also had some options I hadn't seen from other vendors before (their tandoori chicken appetizers were what finally sold us on them).

Reception service went off without a hitch, and that was after a cocktail hour with passed apps that guest raved about.

Good price for the quality and service. Would recommend them to anyone.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
