“Chef Tony is outstanding! I had a Galentine's Brunch party yesterday with 12 guests. All of the food was so delicious. All the guests raved about the food. He and his wife, Deena, worked diligently and all of their efforts paid off. They cleaned up everything, were very professional and respectful working in my home. Very personable, I enjoyed talking to him about his career and his future plans. We had quite a menu, going from appetizers to eggs Benedict and ending with a roasted tenderloin with all kinds of dishes in between. Again, every dish was cooked perfectly! Can't wait for the next party! Thank you Chef!”

“Fabulous meal cooked by Tony and Deena. There were 12 of us for a surprise birthday meal with a seafood theme. Lovely to have the prep happen in our kitchen, and even better to have the kitchen spotless when they left. Tony was amazingly flexible during the planning process (even as our group doubled in size in the days leading up) as well as in using what we had in the kitchen for plating/serving. Highly recommend!!!”
“Personal Chef Tony provided FANTASTIC service and the quality of the food was AMAZING. He catered our wedding reception which was held at a private residence with about 125 people in attendance. Tony met with us before the event to run through the details. He had wonderful professional insight, was thorough in his questions to ensure the his services flowed smoothly throughout the evening, Tony was also very patient with many questions and lots of feedback. We had a lineup of crab cakes, bacon wrapped shrimp, empenadas, bruscheta, mini mahi tacos, crab stuffed mushroom caps, lobster bites, key lime/mocha expresso shooters. It was all delicious! At the event our guests raved over the food and Tony's staff were all very professional. Tony's team even supported orchestrating a sunset champagne toast. I would strongly suggest that anybody planning an event in the area seek out Tony's services, you will not be disappointed.”
“I wish I could give Chef Tony and Deanna 10 stars. I've hired many private chef's over the years, and today's food was THE best. They even left the kitchen and dining room cleaner and better than before. Tony catered to my desire for Organic food. I'll definitely be using them again.”
“Chef Tony prepared and catered a meal for my father's 75th birthday in the kitchen of the AirBnB where we were staying. He was professional and responsive in booking his services and helpful in selecting a menu for the event. The food was wonderful in both flavor and presentation. In the end, he left the kitchen cleaner than he found it. Overall it was an amazing experience. He and his assistant were a joy to work with.”
“WOW! From professionalism to presentation to food that simply *MADE MY MOUTH (and my stomach!) HAPPY* I just cannot say enough about the experience of a 7-course dinner in our home. Fabulous.”
“Tony is so easy to work with. Have used him several times now and have been very pleased with the quality of his food and his professionalism. He has been extremely accommodating to our special dietary needs. His pricing is on point. So glad we found him. Absolutely recommend his services!”
“My wife and I could not have hoped for a better caterer for our wedding. Tony was always very quick to reply to our emails with detailed answers and recommendations. My wife and I did nearly all of the wedding planning ourselves, so our plans were constantly changing. We greatly appreciate how flexible Tony was in accommodating our changing plans and ideas. Tony arrived early to our reception venue and was very well prepared. He set up everything he needed quickly and served our guests very well. Some of the dishes were finished off at the venue kitchen to keep the dish as fresh as possible. The effort Tony puts into every dish is incredible. You can really see and taste how far he goes to create great dishes. Everyone at our reception was telling us how delicious the food was and how great the presentation was. I recommend Tony's Catering to anyone that loves delicious food and needs excellent service for their event.”
“We had Chef Tony cater our daughters wedding in N. Merritt Island on short notice. No time for a tasting prior to the event left us a bit concerned. When the appetizers were served and watching the guests enjoy the food, I had to taste for myself. Chef Tony's food is the best I have ever had at any catered event! Everything was seasoned to perfection and needed no added seasonings. Thank you Chef Tony for adding to a perfect day. You and your staff were fantastic!”
“Great experience hosting a dinner party with Chef Tony and sous chef Dina. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented and our guests swooned over the sumptuous tastes. Well worth the price!”
“I used Chef Tony's Catering for my wedding and all the guests told me it was not only the best food they had eaten at a wedding but one of the best meals they had ever had. His staff was also great and they handled everything. I would highly recommend Vero Beach Private Chef. I just wish I could add more stars. I had never heard of a private chef or catering to match before and it was a great experience.”
“This chef created an amazing menu for my parents anniversary within an hour of my phone call. Food and service were just perfect, everything tasted so good and was prepared with so much detailed work. Super plus - he left my kitchen spotless like if we never ever cooked anything. Highly highly recommend. Will for sure call him again for my next event!”
“If you are looking for someone to cater your event, Tony, with Personal Chef Catering is your guy. Not only is Tony very responsive, but his professionalism when dealing with his customers is top notch. Tony catered my wedding in February 2018 in NMI. Everything from the beautifully decorated buffet set-up, friendly and professional staff, hors d'oeuvres, and main course buffet were nothing but the best and highest quality I could have ever hoped for to share with our family on our special day. The meatballs were the crowd favorite, the stuffed mushrooms were my personal favorite, and the shrimp cocktail was impressive. The dinner buffet included a Caesar salad, a vegetable medley, mashed potatoes and gravy, chicken Marsala, and prime rib. Everything was delicious, but I have to point out that the prime rib was seasoned perfectly and the vegetable medley consisted of fresh cut - not your everyday vegetables. I 100% recommend him for your event and will continue to use him in the future.”
“Chef Tony catered my oldest daughters wedding. I cannot begin to say how happy and pleased we were for having this amazing Chef and his team cater. First and foremost his food was amazing, superior quality. Several guests who attended, whom own restaurants and are chefs themselves, couldn't believe the quality and taste of his food. Getting comments like "I cannot believe this is catered food" or "I couldn't do any better providing food this good". Professional from our first meeting with assistance and suggestions for the event. He provided professional wait staff, and an amazing bartender team to man the open bar. We basically were worry free the entire reception. Thanks to this wonderful man. He was the first person there and the last to leave, inquiring if we needed anything else. I would not hesitate one second to recommend this Chef to help plan and cater any event.”
“Tony has been delivering a weekly meal to us since Feb 2015. Everything is always flavorful, distinctive, and beautifully presented.”
“Top quality food and superb, professional service. Tony and his staff created a wonderful wedding dinner. We highly recommend this caterer!”
“I'm so happy with the work of Chef Tony! His food and catering staff were excellent during my wedding. The food was absolutely fantastic tasting, all the guests loved it, and it stayed nice and hot on the freezing cold day we had! The servers were all so sweet and professional.”
“Hired Tony for a wedding - the food was fantastic. He was not there personally which was a surprise to me but had a team ready to go - serving buffet style starting at 6. We had hired several teens to help with water service, sparkling cider, and clearing of tables since it was a large crowd. Good thing we did, two of his workers had an emergency half way through and left. The teens I hired were supposed to get dinner also - they never did and when I asked I was told they already had packed things up and weren't serving anymore. Part of our service was for Tony to cut the wedding cake. There were 4 different kinds and instead of cutting some of each for the guests to choose, they cut and served only one kind at a time, even after my husband went in and asked them to do a little of each kind. Again, the food was great but I feel like the service was lacking.”
“We are so happy we chose Tony as our personal chef to cater a small dinner party. He made an amazing dinner that our guests thoroughly enjoyed. Our appetizer was a favorite, short rib ravioli with mascarpone and truffle oil. The sea bass entree was cooked to perfection. Tony is extremely professional, prompt and creative. I can't wait for our next dinner!”
“Just got married this last Saturday. Tony commuted to where I needed him and set everything up with no instructions, no rehearsal. He found the place and took everything into his own hands; made my DIY wedding go that much easier! The display of the food was beautiful and everything labeled. The food was amazing! Everyone keeps talking about it. He took what I wanted and made it a 5 star lunch. His prices are just as amazing as his food. You will not regret using him!! My husband and I have agreed we'll use him for any occasion we want catered!!”
“Tony did an excellent job catering our wedding. He was very professional and worked around Hurricane Irma. The food was AMAZING!!! I would definitely recommend him to anyone, and you won't be disappointed. I will absolutely use him again in the future.”
“Words could not express the great food and service Chef Tony performed. The food was in abundance. I was nerves and had a short time span to plan the wedding however his guided me and kepted me calm for my special event. I would hire him for other events and the guess was asking for his information. Thank you for all your great work. By the way your staff was great and friendly”
“Tony catered lunch for 2 days at a class I teach twice annually in Palm Bay. Pir expectations were exceeded in every way. Professional communication, let me adjust headcount up til the day before the event, and showed up in stealth mode such that we didn't even notice the setup process. And the food.... literally amazing. I received compliments from our students that this was the best meal they've ever eaten! These guys are worth twice the price! Do yourself a favor, dont try to save $2 per person. Let these guys handle your group meals and relieve your stress. My only complaint is that I cant take Tony and his crew with me everywhere else I teach my classes! Thank you Chef!!!!”
“Tony's food was sooo delicious and perfect for our family. We had people traveling from all over to be together for the holiday and we wouldn't have been able to enjoy our stay without his meal service. He also was very helpful with a family member's gluten allergy.”
“Chef Tony is amazing! I can't believe how good his food was. I am usually not one to savor food, I am someone who usually eats and moves on, but this was food that made me chew slowly and thank God that I was alive. Amazing! I felt like I was a millionaire eating his cuisine. I recommend Tony to anyone who has a mouth (seriously)”
“I went out of my comfort zone and had Thanksgiving dinner catered by Chef Tony. He cooked it just like our family always has. And there was plenty of leftover turkey which delighted me as I love turkey sandwiches. I'll definitely use him again!!”
“SPECTACULAR!!! If there were 6 stars I would give him that. He catered a party at my condo last evening and it was amazing. The presentation, the quality, The attentiveness of the staff all world class. You would have thought you it was a five star restaurant. Definitely a 5 star event. Can't wait to use him for future events.”
“We had Personal Chef cater a few BBQ buffets for some of our get togethers. Tony was always willing to make adjustments and provide high quality meals for all ages”
