Perfect Parties is about our staff
....dedicated to customer care, impeccable service, elegant presentation and exquisite food.

Twenty-two years ago a friend suggested that I cook for others, and so we began in my home, just my mother and I. We cooked as we had learned to cook in my grandmother’s kitchen: everything was fresh, everything was made from scratch. The pasta was made by hand and cut by hand, the soups were made from our own stocks, the desserts were made from scratch. Everything was produced in the time-honored tradition passed on from generation to generation.

Quality was and still is our foremost priority.

Slowly, we grew, adding kitchen and service staff to help us until my little home business called out for commercial space. We settled at 885 Boston Post Road in a little section of a little building. Along with our catering we added Gourmet-to-Go, a retail operation serving baked goods, fabulous soups and sandwiches, and a few dinners all to go. Soon we took on additional space (from one postage-stamp-sized space to two) and added tables for those who wanted to eat in. Next we added Sunday Brunch, quickly followed by a r estaurant serving lunch and dinner.

Our little building in Madison is bursting!!!!

It has become a Mecca for food lovers - a travel stop for those making the New York to Boston trip. Our modest success has only intensified our dedication to serving quality food. The professionalism of our staff has reached new heights. We are known throughout New England for our delicious foods and our attention to details.

"It was Perfect. and coming from a perfectionist, that is an amazing statement. The food could not have been better. The appetizers were the best I have ever tasted anywhere...and...the duck was a triumph. Your personal touch and your patience were especially appreciated. You inspired full confidence and fulfilled all my expectations.

You and your staff were simply wonderful...always helpful, always sensitive and wonderfully efficient."
MJ, Guilford, Ct. after her daughter's wedding in Guilford

"...you and your team were an extraordinary class act---totally professional... Everyone remarked that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding, the cake was out of the world...and the service impeccable.
I was struck by two things: You had the happiest and most relaxed crew I have ever seen and you operated
with an absolute minimum of requests or pressure on us.
The greatest art is to pull something off and have it appear to be effortless."
