About Denise

When I’m eating at a restaurant and the menu includes polenta, sautéed greens or homemade sausage, I realize I’ve been eating these types of peasant foods all my life. So this is where my story starts…at home, in the kitchen, raised by an Italian mother who loved food and cooking. I loved it too. The food created in our kitchen was always made with the freshest ingredients, with levels of flavor, keeping the food bright and flavorful. I believe in preserving the true flavor of any food by enhancing it and keeping it authentic.

Reviews

Pittsburgh Premier Caterering catered our wedding for 150 guests (both main course and appetizers) and did a fantastic job! The food was amazing and the staff were excellent. Denise was super helpful during the planning stages as well and is great to work with. I would highly recommend!

Daniel

Denise and the team at Pittsburgh Premier Catering are fantastic! We use them for all of our events and have always been blown away by the taste & quality of their food. Thanks for consistently providing us with 5-star quality catering for our events!

Pittsburgh Premier Catering has staged several very different events for my family. One such event followed my father’s funeral. Denise and her staff well met the unique challenges of limited notice, menu planning, food preparation and staging a large fluid reception at my father’s home. From set up to take down, they were sensitive, professional and didn’t miss a beat.

Carol

Our family gathered in Pittsburgh recently for my parents’ 65th wedding anniversary, and we hired Denise of Pittsburgh Premier Catering to prepare a dinner for the event. We loved everything about the meal, from the beautiful appetizer spread, to the delicious family-style meal, to the warm and friendly service. We stayed at the lovely Morning Sun Inn in Pittsburgh, and between the venue and the food, we had a fantastic family celebration. Thanks Denise!

Janet

We arranged to have Premier Catering provide the food for our son’s wedding rehearsal dinner. We found their experience and expertise to be invaluable in helping us choose our menu. Their entire staff proved to be professional and friendly throughout the event. Both the presentation and quality of the food drew rave reviews from our guests. Not surprisingly, we considered our rehearsal dinner to be a “Stunning Success!” With Denise, we felt we were in good hands throughout the entire process.

As an Event Planner who organizes both small and large gatherings, meetings fundraisers and parties, I want the food to be one of the highlights. I want it to be presented in an appealing and beautiful way and I want it to taste wonderful to every guest’s palate. PPC is my first choice, and when the location allows, my only choice to meet my high expectations. Professional but friendly, they help design a part of the architecture of the event that has consistently been a step above the rest.
