“Lauren DeLisa catered a very important 40th birthday party for my husband. Adults and children loved her menu! It's two days after the party and I'm still receiving rave reviews about how "awesome" her food was. Thank you for making the party a huge hit, Lauren! You are the best!!" -Sue Hayes
Dear Lauren –Thank you for doing a truly outstanding job to cater our Community Luncheon . Once again, it’s pure pleasure to work with you on an event with your sparkling attitude, high standards and work ethic. -Kye Cohen, ShopRite of Manchester and East Hartford
"Everyone keeps raving about the food and the service was great. I will admit that not having used La Piastra in the past we were a bit nervous, however your organization exceeded our expectations in every way...And John deserves a special thanks for his efforts during the serving time. We had a large number of employees that showed up all at once creating lines on both sides of the table. Consequently, John was in high demand as he carved the meats for each employee. During this time he remained calm and handled the line with confidence and ease." -Pamela Sloane, Advanced Behavioral Health, Inc
