Ramni Levy Catering and Events

For a long time I thought ‘just let it go’ but about a year after I met Ramni for discussing about catering my wedding, it’s time to just let others know that Ramni seems to be shady.
Besides that he has very strong opinions about how he would arrange a wedding (in other words: he doesn’t listen at all or understands a thing you are telling him and doesn’t add his skills to your ideas, but wants to take over the whole day), he was talking a lot about his ‘great and special’ ideas but never showed us anything he could make. Most disappointing was that when we mentioned we’d like to have a special dessert instead of a wedding cake after the ceremony, he suggested petit fours… how original is that???
We wanted to see what Ramni could suggest with a tight budget, but he wasn’t creative at all or trying to come up with interesting suggestions. He basicly said: «if you just give 5000 dollars, I’ll make it work. But it will be better if you have 6000 dollars». And even when I asked him to show us the options that he could cater and prizes with it so we could compare options, he just said: ‘that’s not how I work’.
The weirdest thing was that when we told Ramni we found someone else (who was amazing for a way better prize!), he e-​mailed back and name dropped some big company that he would cater that day anyway… flash back to primary school.

Ramni is an unethical scam artist that stoops so low as to steal money from children (literally). I was a mere 16-​year old high school student when I worked for him as a waitress at his former business, Bistro 1650 in the Richmond district. He stole money out of my paycheck under my nose (when I was making less than $ 6 an hour) and I heard from the judge he had mistreated several others.
He made a run for it and never paid the almost $ 1500 the State of California courts agreed he owed me including stolen wages and penalties. Stealing money from a kid! Shame on this guy.
You can check out the Superior Court website (
), look up his name «Levy, Ramni» and see a large number of lawsuits involving this guy.
Looks like he’s at it again with a new business. Don’t patronize this guy (and definitely don’t work for him!) and if you do, pay close attention to your wallet and the quality of food he produces.

Ramni caters lunch for my office 3 times a week and is excellent! He has been working with us for a couple months now and has yet to repeat a dish. His meals are healthy, fun, and delicious. His creativity shines in every dish and his skill takes center stage. He is a master of so many styles, techniques, and global flavors. For an office of many tastes, he manages to appeal to us all and impress us daily. As a business entity, he is professional, organized, punctual ALWAYS and considerate. He plates meals superbly and even unloads my dishwasher. When I was faced with planning a corporate event, Ramni took on my extra needs and came through for me with delicious appetizers (his Knishes and crab cakes are amazing!!!). Beyond his fantastic food, great service, and willingness to take on additional events, Ramni is also personable, charming, and a delight to work with. I would highly recommend Ramni Levy for anyone’s catering needs, big and small.

I went to an art show event last week and Ramni was the caterer. Wow! His culinary creations are outstanding. Petite twice baked potatoes with a dab of sour cream and golden caviar, all first class. He also served wonderful empanadas in both sweet and savory varieties, yum! Fresh stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes and a wonderful selection of choice wines to accompany the food. They were all selected from the Sonoma Valley region, delicious wine. He also served scrumptious and rich chocolate layer cake as well as chocolate dipped strawberries. Need I say more?
If you happen to get word that Ramni Levy is catering a party, go! The food will be outstanding.

Heard of Ramni and asked him to provide potato salad & cole slaw for an employee picnic I catered last week. Ramni did an outstanding job, within my budget. He was agreeable and easy to work with & I’d hire him again in a hot New York second! Wish I had more work so I could see him really shine! Dependable, on time and affordable.
