MaryAnn Piccioni
The staff from Chef Mike's were wonderful to work with! JoAnn helped me figure out a menu that reflected the theme we were looking at. She was patient with my questions and educated me so much when it came to planning an event. On the day of the event, Jessica and Chef Jason couldn't have been more professional and helpful! They went above and beyond what I expected and made the day so special! And the food was exceptional! The guests loved everything they made. I will definitely keep them in mind the next time I am planning an event. Thank you!
