Love Creatful Catering Los Angeles

Crateful Catering Los Angeles is one of those Rare catering company of our city that exudes Greatness.

As we know, everything start at the top and the owner, Emanuele Ponzo, is the quintessential professional. He is extremely helpful, accommodating, act fast and execute with perfection and he is on top of that so much fun to work with. Humor always help.
We did not give Emanuele Ponzo a lot of time to come up with ideas and time to organize it but his creativity, his speed of coming up with great solutions made our event like we planned it for month!

Ponzo’s food choices, presentation and service was at the level of any Oscar night parties! His team was so wonderful and they make you feel like a Rock Star. You feel so well taking care of, that you will never want to use any other company but Crateful Catering Los Angeles.
Emanuele Ponzo delivers like a true Master at his craft.

Thank you so much for making our event such a magical evening and a memorable experience.

Amazing Food and Amazing Service!

Where to start? Emanuele catered my fabulous wedding at the Houdini Estate here in Los Angeles. He and his entire team at Crateful Catering were AMAZING! First of all, I'm an Italian American - so it was important for me to have authentic Italian food. They knocked it out of the park with a number of Italian dishes including a fabulous Cacio e Pepe. That said, we also had a mix of appetizers, a charcuterie table, sliders and even a taco bar - so it was a really well-rounded presentation that gave our guests a number of options. Emanuele personally took the time to attend our pre-event walkthrough. He was also very responsive including answering after hours calls/texts when I needed to reach him - which is great because I'm usually busy with my companies during the day. He was available to talk when I was, which if you know anything about planning a wedding, you know that it can be stressful at times if you can't reach your vendors. I never had that problem with Emanuele. At one point we even had a little issue with the venue in terms of some contractual/layout items pertaining to the catering kitchen - and Emanuele was able to personally call in some favors with the venue owner to make a few things happen for us. In all, if you're looking for a standup guy, with a great company, to provide excellent customer service and even better food - particularly if you want anything Italian - don't hesitate to go with Emanuele Ponzo and Crateful Catering. Li raccomando vivamente! Five stars!!
