About

Frato's Personal Chef Catering brings a dedicated chef to your wedding — not temps, not servers who reheat trays, but a trained culinary professional who prepares your food fresh on-site.

What Makes Us Different:

We're the only Chicago-area caterer with an On-Time Guarantee — if we're late to your wedding, you don't pay. Period. After 39 years and thousands of events, we've built our reputation on showing up when it matters most.

Cuisine for Every Couple: Whether you want Italian, Mexican, Mediterranean, Korean BBQ, Indian, or American comfort food — we do it all scratch-made. We also offer Halal (Zabiha-certified) options for couples who need them. Your menu, your way.

Why Couples Choose Us:

  • Personal chef assigned to your event (not random workers)
  • Scratch-made food prepared fresh — never factory-prepped
  • 10% extra food included at no charge (Quantity Guarantee)
  • Dietary accommodations: Halal, Vegetarian, Vegan, Gluten-Free
  • We stand behind our food — schedule a tasting after your quote, and if you're not completely satisfied, your deposit is fully refunded. We're that confident.

As seen on WGN's Chicago's Best, Fox 32, and Daily Herald.

Your wedding day is too important for "good enough." Let's talk.
