Diana catered a wonderful Engagement Party for us. The food was out of this world ( I'm still dreaming of the apricot tart) and she was a delight to work with. She is extremely organized, as is her staff, and helped with all aspects of the party from ordering a violinist to helping with all the centerpieces which we took from our garden.

Superb! Delicious! Easy! Fun! Honest! Worthwhile! Gorgeous! All these things describe Diana's wonderful cuisine, presentation and service. We've used her service twice now. Once for a 150 person housewarming party here, with a bartender, servers and Chef, and once a simple drop off with a chafing dish, and some flatbreads and platters. Both were so well received and satisfying. I have to say, we rally got to enjoy our own party with the bartender and servers! That's a value in itself! We actually had a blast at our OWN PARTY! We are believers now. Her menus of possible dishes are

I hired Diana to cater my 60th birthday party at my house. What a wonderful evening. Delicious food -- catering for 13 with special attention paid to guests with dietary restrictions (e.g., gluten free). She and her assistant arrived about an hour before the guests, got everything arranged and produced a most delicious and elegant dinner. I couldn't have hoped for a better evening. Simply terrific.

OMG do not even think of using another caterer. Not only is she very professional and creative but folks she is so damn nice. I spent 3 months looking for a special caterer in the Santa Barbara area. I do not live in the area (wish I did) but I rented a vacation rental for a very special celebration. She is very responsive to any questions you have no matter how silly. Diana arrived on time and left the kitchen cleaner than she found it. She literally read my mind regarding how I wanted the evening to flow. The food and the presentation could not have been better. The tablescape was very

If I could award ten Yelp stars, instead of just five, I would! Diana Cuttrell and Pete Clements, partners in "Dining With Di", are outstanding. They recently catered our daughter's small wedding supper. People are still raving about the cocktails, the fabulous appetizers, and the dinner itself. The culinary team produced stunningly beautiful and delicious food for a sit-down, candle-light supper on the terrace of a private home in Montecito.
The freshest and best quality ingredients were used. Every dish was nicely garnished. Hot things were hot, cold things were cold. Sauces

We recently had the opportunity to have Diane & Pete (Dining with Di) cater our event for the Alzheimers Association Word Day on September 21. I received so many compliments in regards to the food that I had to ask Di for a stack of business cards to pass out. The food and their professional demeanor was fabulous, and I can not say enough regarding how happy and pleased we were with everything from the presentation of the food, to continuously bringing out fresh appetizers to adjusting to the speaker and then starting the process all over again. They even provided the bartender and brought

With so many catering companies to choose from in SB, I am so happy to be able to narrow the field for others looking for the right one. Dining with Di is amazing in so many ways! Diana Cuttrell has partnered with Pete Clements in what can only be described as the perfect pairing. The rave reviews from people who attended the Evening for the Athletes and Charity Poker Tournament (a benefit for SBHS athletics) at QAD are still coming in! It was our second year to have them and we were delighted once again. Diana and Pete along with their great team created the most beautifully presented and delicious
