Zesty Gourmet is next-level service. We used them for our wedding and were truly blown away by the quality of food, service, professionalism, family feel, creativity, and attention to detail. I'm a vegan and my husband is not but this was absolutely no big deal for them. They accommodated every dietary restriction with ease. All of the vegan options were absolutely amazing and equally as delicious as all of the non-vegan food. The staff is beyond kind and made our guests feel so at home at our wedding through the dining experience. They brought our family-style Italian-inspired dining dreams to life in ways we didn't think were possible. I would HIGHLY recommend using them for your next event!!

Wow! The Zesty Gourmet team goes above and beyond to deliver the most exceptional food experience during your special day / event. First off, my family and I are a NIGHTMARE when it comes to food restrictions. We have felt many times that we've been too difficult to accommodate throughout the years; however, that was NOT our experience with Zesty Gourmet whatsoever. They didn't bat an eye at our tricky food allergies, but instead made us feel assured and confident that we'd be taken care of. Not only was the food amazing, but the presentation and service were as well. We've had multiple tastings with Zesty after planning two different family weddings with them and cannot recommend them enough. All of our friends and family have raved over their love of the food at both weddings, too. Thank you, Chef John and sous Chef Leanne - we love you and feel like family!

Zesty catered our wedding at The Manor At Airmont and oh my gosh the food was amazing! They made a gorgeous charcuterie board, bao buns, shrimp cocktail, stuffed mushrooms, and mini grilled cheeses for our cocktail hour. For dinner we had salad, sea bass or brisket, and an unbelievable dessert bar. Everything was amazing and many of our guests said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. The only thing we would change would be that we wouldn’t have picked shrimp as I think that’s hard to cook at the perfect temp at such a high volume (it was a little overdone). Otherwise everything was amazing!

I had such an amazing experience with Zesty Gourmet! I planned a small wedding within a few months and Leanne was very helpful and great to work with. We got a tasting experience when we booked and it was wonderful, everything was delicious. Our dinner on our wedding day was also delicious, all my guests made good comments. They were also kind enough to arrange special meals for kids and a vegetarian guest. The staff was so kind and helpful, great attitudes, even helped me put up decor in high places. I would recommend their services for any event, and I’d happily book them for future events I plan!

Zesty Gourmet provided excellent bites for cocktail hour and delicious courses for our wedding reception. We would highly recommend this catering company for any special event! Aside for our big day the menu tasting exceeded my expectations. Guests were able to sample ALL menu options. We still miss their peach cobbler and “lollichops!”

I can't say enough good things about Zesty Gourmet! Leanne and her team are very professional and could not be nicer. They were able to make wonderful meals even with the many restrictions our venue had. The huge charcuterie board was a big talking point at our wedding and how everything they presented was gorgeous!! Leanne worked with us to find a time we could come in for the tasting since we live across the country. Let me just say, that was our favorite part of wedding planning! Everything they make is mouth watering, so it was hard to choose our wedding day menu (a GREAT problem to have!). The bartenders and waiters provided top notch service and they moved very quickly to serve all of our guests. I am so impressed with their team and will be recommending them to everyone! *note: the only picture of the food our photographers took was of the salad, all other pictures are from the tasting*

Zesty Gourmet catered the annual banquet for our volunteer fire company. Leanne and team were very accommodating to our requests and came up with a menu that pleased everyone. Absolutely everything was great and amazing service. From the brisket to the chicken to the peach cobbler, there was a long line of folks waiting to take doggie bags home!

I highly recommend Zesty Gourmet. They catered my husband's 40th birthday party for about 30 people at our home in north Arlington. Leanne and the chef took the time to learn about my vision and my husband's favorite types of food and put together a wonderful menu. The day of the party, the food was displayed beautifully in our dining room, and it was all delicious. The staff were so friendly, professional, and attentive. The bartender memorized everyone's drink orders throughout the night! At the end of the night, the staff even washed out some of our food storage containers so we'd have room to keep the leftovers. I got so many compliments on the food and service. Will definitely use them for my next event!
The food here is incredible. John and Leanne are genius. They catered our wedding and our guests were raving from the passed canapés to the main course Some comments included how fun and delicious the tomato soup shooters were, how someone would "die for this chicken slider" (I ate one like a gremlin hunkered over in my wedding dress ) and how one entree, the maple Dijon chicken, was the most tender chicken my mother in law had ever had. Even our TASTING was an experience complete with paired drinks and we left so full I had to be horizontal to fully digest afterwards. If you didn't think it could get any better, he chefs are incredibly kind!

Leanne was wonderful to work with from the start to the end. She recommended their Charcuterie Table which I wasn’t fond of but so happy she talked me into it - it was beautiful and at least 10 people raved about the prosciutto. The meats were all perfectly shaved thin. We also asked for raw oysters and the chef did an amazing job choosing the right one - people raved about them, too, and asked what type they were all night. The flavors were spot on for everything, the portion size were perfect, and their servers - so professional, kind, polite…. Thank you so much!

Leanne and John did an incredibly spectacular luncheon with less than 48 hours. I found them on line on a Monday late afternoon and they responded immediately, preparing and serving the lunch on Thursday afternoon!!!! Everything was so delicious. I will be using them again for sure and you should too!
