I am writing to express my utmost satisfaction and gratitude for the outstanding services provided by Elena and Porchetta Toscana catering. It was a pleasure to work closely with Elena for our Breakfast with Santa event and I wholeheartedly recommend Porchetta Toscana services. She demonstrated a high level of professionalism, reliability, and dedication to excellence and providing great service. Elena was amazing, flexible, and even stood on sight at the event to ensure everything was setup and food was replenished. Thank you for the excellent service and I will definitely be working with Elena again! More...

It was a great experience working with Prchetta Catering. They were responsive, had great ideas, were on time, and were great the day of the party! I will be using them again.

Want some pork crack? I'm soooo addicted to their Porchetta sandwiches . It's like pork crack. I find myself buying two sandwiches . One to eat now and one to eat later. There's something about their pork that's freshly cooked with their bread and arugula and onions that has me spending $20 per sandwich and wanting yet another sandwich to take home with me so I can eat it later. It's like fresh Chicharróns mixed in with fresh pork on your freshly made to order sandwich! It's guilty comfort food at its finest, especially when you get those crackly crunchy fried pork skins in your sandwich. A must try for people who like crispy pork! More...

I wrote this review last summer for the Bark website, where I found this company. Copying it here so more people see it!If I could give Porchetta Toscana a bajillion stars I would . From the first call all the way to the end of the event, Elena was the very best to work with. She is super organized, proactive and responsive but also laid back, funny and warm. She was mindful of our budget and helped us make a lot of decisions while not forcing anything.We had PT cater our wedding reception this past weekend. It was outdoors and during a heat wave! PT made 4 kinds of tacos, fresh on site, for about 130 people. The food was excellent, I got many compliments about it. At our tasting I asked Elena to make a few of her favorite things and we ended up ordering most of her recommendations. Fried shrimp tacos and the elote loco were my personal favorites, but I got compliments about everything. PT also staffed our bar and made a cocktail and non-alcoholic aqua fresca, which were both fantastic. But she also was OK with us buying a lot of the alcohol, drinks and dishes ourselves so we could save a little money. It all came out perfectly, even in the heat. I don't know when we will have another event but when we do, I am going to Elena and her team. More...

Excellent job on all aspects relating to the catering of our party. All the props we needed were available, sun tent, grill, glassware and table linens. Creative food and presentation for a delicious outside brunch. The entire party was well executed by Elena and her entire staff. More...

Their pork was good, but no flavor to it. Â It was coated in grease with crystalized grease chips in it. Â The hot sauce that comes with it was hot, like burn your lips hot. Hobenero maybe. They should have cooked a little of that in the pork to kick it off. Â Too close to greatness, so far away. More...

Elena and her husband were wonderful and very patient to work with. They did an amazing job serving delicious food to 24 people at my moms 90th birthday. They cleared the plates etc quickly and were very friendly and mixed in with the party so well that it made it very relaxing. I think the beef skewers were the favorite but everything was delicious. I would 100% recommend Porchetta Toscana! More...

Elena was wonderful to work with - she responded right away to my request to cater my niece’s bridal shower. We worked out the details and they were very accommodating. The event was to have been at my house, but covid reared its ugly head and I had to switch venues at the last minute. They were very empathetic and went to the new location. Unfortunately, I wasn’t healthy enough to go, but my family has reported back that the food was wonderful! Thank you very much! More...

Elena at Porchetta Toscana did an incredible job catering for 50 people at my boyfriend’s 40th birthday celebration in San Francisco. From the initial communication, she was professional, quick to respond, and was interested in getting to know what we truly most desired for food for the party. In addition to creating an amazing, personalized menu, Elena helped me think of and decide on some nuanced details that made the flow of the party so beautiful. Our guests were all going back for second plates - EVERYTHING was so fresh and delicious! Porchetta Toscana accommodated a variety of palates (meat-forward, vegetarian, gluten free) in the Mediterranean meal they created. I cannot recommend Elena and Porchetta Toscana more highly. Thank you so very much- I will be reaching out again. More...

Elena and Gustavo were fantastic! I would give them 10 stars if I could. Elena is responsible, quick to respond, organized, lovely and fun. Gustavo, the chef, grilled a variety of meat as Elena prepared the delicious taco bar. The work great together and have impressive communication. They came, they fed 40 folks for a great price, they cleaned up an off they went. Awesome. I highly recommend them to you for Italian or Mexican style food at your next event. FUN! More...
