Lil Leto Catering exceeded our expectations with its creative Italian-American dishes that brought a perfect mix of unique flavors and crowd-pleasing favorites. Mike was fantastic ...
to work with—easy-going, responsive, and professional. We had a wonderful tasting experience, and the food on the big day lived up to the hype!
Our wedding guests couldn’t stop raving about the appetizers and entrees, especially the arancini and Midwestern toast. Food is a big part of us as a couple, so splurging on high-quality meals was worth every penny for us! The pricing is extremely fair for the quality of food and service that you get, though.
A note for venues without kitchens: you’ll need to rent equipment and silverware on your own (not included in the cost), but the team is super helpful in guiding you through it. Highly recommend Lil Leto Catering for anyone looking to impress with a memorable menu!
Mike and his team are absolute professionals. They were a joy to work with and were super accommodating. It doesn't hurt that the food and pricing was great as well. We will defini...
tely be enlisting them in the future!
We have used a lot of different vendors for different parties and Michael has been the one who has stood out the most by far. His team and himself are so kind, the food is amazing,...
he is flexible and personable. We genuinely enjoy him as a person alone! He did our brother in laws wedding and ours. We did a meal for dinner and a late taco snack, he nailed both. The whole team was super efficient, there was no stress added. If we could give more stars, we definitely would.♡♡♡

ng we needed. The appetizers were absolutely amazing, they found my husband and I and offered us a plate in between taking our pictures. The dinner was so delicious and presented so well! We had decided on halibut or filet mignon. All the guests were raving about how good the food was. They even walked around and gave seconds to anyone that wanted more. Everything was cooked fresh in my parents kitchen as we had a small wedding held there. The staff cleaned up everything and you had no idea that a whole team of chefs are cooking all evening. Even almost a month after the wedding, I am still craving that food. Way better than what you’d get at a restaurant or a regular catering company. I highly recommend Michael for any of your events!!
Unreal. Weeks later and we are still raving about them to our friends, family and wedding couples! As a wedding photographer for the last 6 years we have easily photographed close ...
to 300 weddings and Lil Leto has been the most incredible catering experience we have EVER had during that time (and we were only vendors, can you imagine as guests?) we have been recommending them to everyone we know and are already trying to figure out the next time we can hire them for our own event!!
Michael and his team went above and beyond to make Kelly & Ty's wedding the most delicious, memorable, organized and fun celebration! As a wedding planner it was such an honor to h...
ave them as part of the wedding professional team. I cannot express in words how highly I recommend Lil' Leto catering for your special day - if you desire the highest quality food and catering service look no further! They artfully design your meal course with love and amazing flavor.
Thank you for helping me create a truly unforgettable wedding day. Cheers!

Being the bride, I was locked up in my bedroom before the ceremony and could the chefs in the kitchen talking, laughing, and singing. It was awesome!

The staff literally found my husband and down a dirt road into a field to deliver us appetizers while we were taking pictures. AMAZING FOOD and AMAZING SERVICE. I will without a doubt be using them again for any catering needs we have in the future! Oh and forgot to mention they are very fairly priced!!

t my wedding. They were a joy to work with, and took it in stride when some last minute stuff came up surrounding my guests' food allergies, dietary preferences, and the functionality of my kitchen. The whole team pitched in like it was nothing, and we are so grateful. My guests left full and happy. I would recommend them to absolutely anyone!
Mike & the whole team at Lil' Leto catering were AMAZING!!! He worked closely with us to create a menu. Many guests said it was the best food they ever had at a wedding. Appetizers...

I worked alongside Michael and his crew this weekend for a wedding in Prescott, AZ. The couple’s dream was to have an intimate ceremony followed by a lavish, multiple course dinner...
party with 40 of their closest family and friends. Not only did he make their dream come true, he went above and beyond! Lil’ Leto Catering was professional, on time, clean and some of the nicest people my family has ever met. Now, what you all came here for... the FOOD. Absolutely incredible. 10/10!! Following all of the bride and grooms requests, he nailed each course. I didn’t think it could get much better than the sliders and pâté served as appetizers, but it did. The home made focaccia bread melted in your mouth. I wish I had saved more room so I could have multiple servings of the main course, steak and salmon. Everything came served with a smile and a new friend. I can not wait to recommend this catering service to my future couples!
Michael & his team did an amazing job catering for our small wedding in Cave Creek, AZ. We had approximately 50 people and everyone LOVED all the food. From the fried risotto balls...
to the salmon & beef tenderloin for dinner, everyone had amazing things to say about everything. Michael and his staff were very professional and accommodating to our guests and made sure everyone was taken care of. We are from out of town, so didn’t do a tasting, but based on reviews, I knew the food would be excellent, it did not disappoint. Everything was AMAZING! I would definitely have them cater for us again if we are ever in the area. Thanks again Lil’ Leto Catering! :)

Oh, and they left the kitchen spotless! I can’t say enough great things about our experience working with them. Thanks Michael!

t show up for the reception, but that allowed for many to go for 2nd, 3rds, & 4ths.
The main reason we chose Michael as our caterer is that he cooks all the food on site, not like his competitors who keep their food in warmers. And, he and his staff are super friendly and warm!
I made a suggestion to have risotto instead of rice, and it definitely completed the meal. He is a professional creator in the kitchen. Just mouth-watering food.
We are so grateful he catered our wedding!!!!
We hired Michael and his team the week of our wedding. Due to COVID19 our 150 guest party was reduced to 16 guests. The venue was at our home. Michael arrived while we were at t...
he church to start cooking. Shortly after we arrived, appetizers were being served.
The food was absolutely delicious! The best compliment was from the groom's Lebanese father, who called Michael a true chef! Everyone raved about each plate, with the lollipop lamb chops taking the spotlight. Once the cake came out, Tina so graciously decorated it with the flowers from our maid of honor bouquet. It was perfect! In addition, the team cleaned up, which really saved us time and effort in the days to come.
We are so thankful and grateful to Lil' Leto Catering. Their warm nature and amazing talents were a wonderful addition to our special day!! We will hire them again and again!
Goodness... where should I begin? With Covid's ups and downs and uncertainties, my brother and his wife decided on a very intimate, family wedding. Although we could not celebrate ...
with all our loved ones and friends, Lil' Leto became exactly that! Being Lebanese - we know GREAT food, good company and a damn good party! Lil' Leto was all that and then some! We licked our fingertips, begged for more and demanded a permanent residence in the Lil' Leto Catering family!! With their variety of any cultural food your little heart could desire, YOU WON'T WANT ANYONE ELSE painting your memories with such colorful flavors!
From the moment we met Chef Michael for our tasting we knew he had to be our wedding caterer. I told him my vision and he was able to bring it to fruition! We had to postpone our...
wedding due to COVID, and he was so understanding and flexible. With a change in date, time, venue, and guest count, he and his team rose to the occasion and provided us with the most amazing culinary experience. The food was amazing and our guests are still talking about it! Michael went above and beyond all expectations, and I will forever be grateful to him and his team for helping to make our dream a reality!
