"To All our Wonderful People at Fine Gastronomy,
Thank you, thank you for serving up such wonderful and bountiful foods, beautifully presented, for the elegant and professional service (and especially for the hugs.) Your preparation is done with such pride and flair.......amazing job!
I only heard RAVE reviews on the food and the service for the AC Party and the Brunch, and the leftovers kept us alive the remainder of the days. The walnut flan....the chicken salad....supreme! And the tiny parfaits....in my dreams, I assure you, along with the chocolate mousse.
My very sincere thanks to you for the fine foods so beautifully served. You are a big part of our success!"

"Fine Gastronomy helped us to create a perfect event! The food was impeccable and beautifully presented. The staff was excellent. I enjoyed working with Ana Luiza and Elice. They were very patient, accommodating, and professional. I could not ask for more from a caterer."

"Fine Gastronomy was truly a delight to work with. Ana Luiza and Elice were very accessible and accommodating to our needs. They were honest and straightforward with their opinions, but always expressed themselves in a polite and kind manner. They were both very easy to talk to and made the entire planning experience enjoyable. On the day of the event, they were extremely professional and really went the extra mile. It was Ana Luiza's birthday and she still came to make sure everything went smoothly, if that is not excellent service and dedication, I do not know what is! Their staff was efficient, friendly and they were constantly thinking one step ahead. Fine Gastronomy is certainly a catering company that we will work with again. "

"To speak of the profissional services offered by Ana Luiza Godoy is to speak of talent and quality. The events promoted at the Organization of American States (OAS) building under the patronage of the Brazilian Mission show the competence and dedication of Ana Luiza Godoy in making with consistency an appropriate thematic cuisine for each event, that results in delicious foods, regional and international. The attention to detail is evident in her work, from the elegant table arrangements to the always cordial and efficient staff service. The organization and functionality of the bar grabs special attention."
Lineu de Paula
Counsellor Minister
Permanent Mission of Brazil to the OAS


“Gilberto Freyre said that flavor and knowledge must walk together. So, for the foreigners that wish to know a little bit more about the Brazilian culture or for Brazilians that longs for it, I always recommend the delicacies prepared, with talent and professionalism, by the chef Ana Luiza Godoy. To taste an eggplant pastry pie or Ana’s Codfish dish is worth as much as to read a treatise on Tropicalism or go to a bossa nova show. The Brazilian culture is appetizing in any form.”

“Dear Ana Luiza. On behalf of the Center for Global Development, please accept my deepest appreciation and gratitude for the wonderful culinary delicacies you provided for the dessert reception for our Inaugural Embassy Progressive Dinner at the Ambassador’s beautiful home. You were very flexible and accommodating in adapting to the dietary restrictions of some of our guests and in accompanying us on the site visits and discussions as we planned the event. The fabulous authentic desserts, coffee and liquors certainly helped us end the evening on a wonderful note and added an enormous amount to the success of the event. Once again thank you and your staff for your support of this exciting inaugural event, it was greatly appreciated.”

“Dear Ana Luiza. Our daughter and her fiancé wanted a small wedding, in a natural, outdoor setting, where guests and family members blended in a relaxing atmosphere. We agreed, but wanted to make sure that it did not lack either in flavor or elegance. Fine Gastronomy managed to provide delicious food, presented in an attractive and finely decorated way, with impeccable service. Team members, from owners to cooks and waiters, acted in a seamless, professional way, from our first contacts through the end of the celebration. Our guests were impressed and made sure that we conveyed to the whole team their praise for a thoroughly successful event.”
Marcello and Marilda Averbug


“Dear friends from Fine Gastronomy,
Our wedding was wonderful. It was exactly the way we had imagined... romantic, full of life, among dear friends and family… and with a wonderful Brazilian flavor. Thank you very much for preparing such beautiful and tasty foods, as well as for the organization and the welcoming decorations, beautiful and professional. Thank you for making of our moment something so special.”

"Dear Ana Luiza,
I can't thank you enough for once again putting on such a fabulous event and for all your time and care that went into making our auction such a success. You make everything seems easy and you are truly a pleasure to work with. We recognized that your wonderful service, food and presentation were a big part of the success of our event. The appetizers, lunch menu and desserts were wonderful; we received nothing but compliments. Your very professional staff should also be complimented. They went out of their way to make sure the guests at the party were treated respectfully and like true guests. You can be certain I will recommend you to my friends and our business associates. Thank you!"

You are an excellent Chef! The food presentation is superb. I was very impressed with the table arrangements for my birthday party. Your sophistication and charm added to excellent flavors of typical Brazilian food with worldwide influences. Your staff is very friendly and professional. Every time that I ordered from you I received lots of complements from my guests and I have been completely happy with the results. I would recommend your services to anyone who would like to try delicious dishes from a culinary artist. Thank you.”

“I have been working closely with Ana luiza Godoy and FINE GASTRONOMY for over two years and find her culinary skills and presentations one of the best I have seen (and tasted) lately. She brings a new concept in catering with Fine Gastronomy, starting with her passion for the Brazilian flavors mixed with her knowledge of European and Latin American foods, an impeccable presentation, and a caring personality. She treats her staff, her clients, and everybody around her with great respect and sweetness. Her fairness, charisma, and determination makes us all feel like we are part of a great team. I am very happy to be associated with her.”
