We are foodies. We love delicious food from everywhere. We rarely ""fine dine"", but do go out to eat the best of foods. I've lived in LA all my life and have eaten at all the best restaurants. We found Cannoli Kings through Citysearch. We were enthralled with the variety of foods displayed on his fun website. We met Chef Michael Parise after interviewing with several other caterers and knew on the spot he was the one to cater our commitment ceremony. My partner always sleeps on issues before deciding, but this time he was immediately sure. Michael cares very much about what he does. He has an amazing range of knowledge about food, what the trends are, so much about different kinds of food, and conveyed to us that we'd be in great hands. He's helped us with many of our needs, linens, tables, chairs, lighting rentals, layout, parking, etc. We just had a tasting evening and he absolutely knocked our socks off. The food was incredible, paired with perfect wines, professional service. The apple bacon-wrapped scallops, crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms (the best I've ever tasted). The shrimp scampi pasta and Pinot Grigio were unbelievable. The Caribbean-flavored salmon simply melts. The veal rollatini paired with a Chianti of his choice made for an outstanding entree. You will also get the best cannolis on the face of the planet. They are crisp, rich, smooth, a piece of heaven, and never lumpy. The staff we met are superb, and we know we're in the best of hands. I can't tell you how stress-relieving it is to work with Michael. He loves what he does and it's going to be a great, enjoyable evening filled with exceptional food, drink, service and comfort.
Pros: Professional, knowledgable, flexible, friendly
