Truly Great! Best caterers we ever hired.

Cannoli Kings Catering completely think outside the box when it comes to food and service! Very professional, showed up before time and never watched the clock. They made everyone feel comfortable and Chef Michael Parise is just incredible to deal with. His baked mac and brie was the bomb and the Caribbean sweet salmon is my new craving. I am so happy we finally found a company in Los Angeles that we actually cant' wait to use again. We highly Recommend Cannoli Kings for your events. Thanks... Jes

• Pros: Baked Mac and Brie with Grueyer and White Truffles
• Cons: They cannot live with us

We had the pleasure of using Cannoli Kings for our wedding in March. Chef Michael Parise was actually in town and came to our wedding! The food was superb and the service was executed perfectly. My Wife and I highly recommend Chef Parise's, Cannoli kings. From beginning to end it was perfect. We are looking forward to our one year anniversary, catered by... Cannoli kings! Thank you.

• Pros: Chef Parise showed up!
• Cons: NONE

Delicious

I tried their coke and rum cannoli at a tasting event; AMAZING! The flavor was spot on, and the cream was unusually light and fluffy. I would definitely order from these guys.

Bar none, simply the best in all of Los Angeles

We are foodies. We love delicious food from everywhere. We rarely "fine dine", but do go out to eat the best of foods. I've lived in LA all my life and have eaten at all the best restaurants. We found Cannoli Kings through Citysearch. We were enthralled with the variety of foods displayed on his fun website. We met Chef Michael Parise after interviewing with several other caterers and knew on the spot he was the one to cater our commitment ceremony. My partner always sleeps on issues before deciding, but this time he was immediately sure. Michael cares very much about what he does. He has an amazing range of knowledge about food, what the trends are, so much about different kinds of food, and conveyed to us that we'd be in great hands. He's helped us with many of our needs, linens, tables, chairs, lighting rentals, layout, parking, etc. We just had a tasting evening and he absolutely knocked our socks off. The food was incredible, paired with perfect wines, professional service. The apple bacon-wrapped scallops, crab cakes, stuffed mushrooms (the best I've ever tasted). The shrimp scampi pasta and Pinot Grigio were unbelievable. The Caribbean-flavored salmon simply melts. The veal rollatini paired with a Chianti of his choice made for an outstanding entree. You will also get the best cannolis on the face of the planet. They are crisp, rich, smooth, a piece of heaven, and never lumpy. The staff we met are superb, and we know we're in the best of hands. I can't tell you how stress-relieving it is to work with Michael. He loves what he does and it's going to be a great, enjoyable evening filled with exceptional food, drink, service and comfort.

BAR NONE, SIMPLY THE BEST IN LOS ANGELES

• Pros: Professional, knowledgable, flexible, friendly
• Cons: none

More then just canoli's

by llyonize at Citysearch

Recently tried their Baked Mac and Brie with Gruyere at a catered lunch we had a work - this stuff was awesome - also had the Farfalle ala checca with tomatoes and fresh basil - basically I had a carb lunch - what could be better right? To finish it off of course I had a canoli which was pretty damn good....

Probably the best Cannoli I've Ever Had (and I've Had a Lot)

by robritz at Citysearch

Recently went to an event catered by cannoli kings and had their Classic Amaretto Cannoli which was pretty darn incredible. they said they do like 300+ types of cannolis but i'm sort of a purest in these matters and opted for the classic dipped in chocolate. yum. the rest of the catered food was also top notch including a pesto-crust lamb chop and a very very evil (yet very very yummy) baked mac and cheese that had figs in it.

• Pros: Great cannolis. Really good ingredients.

Los Angeles-based catering company offers top-notch service and a menu of more than 100 gourmet dishes.

In Short
With a menu that could "go on for days," some might bring up the issue of quality over quantity, but for this L.A. catering company, their extensive offerings only enhance an already solid reputation for home-style cooking and flavor. Owner and executive chef Michael "Wheels" Parise (also a headlining comedian) started his catering service in 2003 and has since worked for A-list stars as well as regular folk from Los Angeles to San Diego. Dishes range from American comfort food like charcoal-grilled hamburgers and old-fashioned potato salad to international delicacies like Muscovy duck with mango chutney and Nicoise salad. Other options include take-away party platters, skewers and barbecue. Desserts are highlighted by the signature cannolis (there are 37 varieties!) with cookies, brownies and watermelon-pineapple upside down cake rounding out the menu.

Amazing Cannolis and More

by wilby120 at Citysearch

The Cannoli Kinds recently catered a birthday lunch I attended in LA. I really the enjoyed the food and thought the owner was very professional and personable. My favorite dish was the chickpea salad, but all salads were great. I didn't eat much pasta, but everyone else was pleased with those dishes as well. Afterwards there was an assortment of desserts which were delicious. Of course my favorite was the cannoli :) I would defintiely recommend them if you are in need of a caterer.

I can't wait till they cater my Baby Shower!!

by mccallbenn at Citysearch

I met with Chef Michael and got to sample many of his dishes at a corporate function I arranged (and they catered). WOW! YUMMY! And I really liked the professionalism of the whole set-up... from the display of the food to the server to the Chef's assistant. Each part was exceptional, in my humble opinion. Cannoli Kings certainly seemed to go way above and beyond any of our expectation. So much so that I've hired them to cater my very own baby shower! Now the Chef and I are developing a menu especially for the occasion... full of finger foods for the little ones and unique takes on traditional comfort foods. Chef Michael even offered a perfect solution for my problem with location for the gathering! I HIGHLY recommend Cannoli Kings Catering and Chef Michael!

Great experience!

by famousblueraincoat at Citysearch

The Cannoli Kings recently catered an office event I attended in LA. They were very professional and the food was great! I particularly enjoyed the Mediterranean chickpea salad with fresh heirloom tomatoes. It was wonderful! My favorite by far! Many people really raved over the macaroni and cheese, which I thought was good, too. The pasta dishes were all nice. The cannolis were good as well. I think they can make all sorts of different versions, but the basic Amaretto did it for me. Yummers!
