What People Say
Chef Derick was amazing! Absolutely seamless from start to finish. If you’re looking for stress-free, in-home, fine dining experience—Gradito is your new best friend.

We had a fantastic experience with Sean and the team from Gradito. We hired them to serve a collection of small dishes for a party of 30. Communication was fast and easy as we worked through numerous iterations for the event and, most importantly, execution was flawless. The food was absolutely delicious. I highly recommend Gradito for your next event.

I cannot recommend Gradito enough! We decided to work with Sean and Chef Will for our wedding as we wanted our guests to have a one of a kind dining experience that they will enjoy and remember. Our guests could not stop raving about the food and service for days after the wedding and jokingly kept asking if there were any leftovers they could come back for.

Sean and the Gradito team were so responsive and great from start to end. The entire team was a pleasure to work with and during our cocktail party, everyone was enthusiastic and made the night so special. The food was so delicious!

Gradito was so accommodating, ensuring every request for my 30th birthday was met. When it came to the dinner itself, each dish was more mind-blowing than the last. They made my event honestly one of the best days of my life - highly recommend!!
