Fantastic experience! Chef's Eric & Annie cooked for our group of 11 who were out in Scottsdale for a bachelor party. The food was out of this world, the prep and clean-up was superb, and their vibes throughout the night were great. Would highly recommend to anyone in the area needing a private chef(s) for any event!

We had the BEST meal with Chefs JC & Eric. Eric was so responsive in planning a custom menu and sticking to our budget. They were wonderful to have in our home, so professional and friendly and the food was amazing! There was more than enough for our party, and they left everything cleaned up and packaged in the refrigerator. We will definitely see them again!

Best overall service and food experience that I can remember! Lil Leto catered my daughter's wedding shower for 35 guests in our home and everything was perfect - Chef Annie and her team provided an amazing experience with exceptional service and fantastic food that exceeded everyone's expectations. Chef Annie was so helpful and thoughtful during the planning and scheduling. She made it such an easy and pleasant experience for us and then executed our event to perfection. We can't wait to find a reason to use Lil Leto again!
