Arkadiy RubinsteinWhy does a catering website need a blog? It is very simple: to share real achievements and values. I want to highlight the three core pillars that place Culinarissimo at the forefront of quality foodservice in Israel.
Wholesome Culinary Craft & Professional Kitchen Leadership
It may sound surprising, but achieving genuinely high culinary standards requires making quality your uncompromising priority. For us, using pre-packaged store-bought salads, factory sauces, or mass-produced pickles is completely off the table. I cannot imagine serving that to guests. Nothing compares to handcrafted, fresh culinary creations—flavors that cannot be replicated from a factory tub packed with preservatives. Working strictly with fresh ingredients is a demanding commitment, but the only right one. To uphold this discipline every single day, having a true culinary leader and kitchen executive is paramount.
When Chef Leon Zohar joined Culinarissimo, I knew our standards would never be compromised. Leon is an authentic, seasoned head chef with deep operational mastery. In addition to his independent culinary ventures, Leon actively heads the kitchen at a flagship branch of the renowned Benedict restaurant group in Israel, managing live services and rigorous culinary operations every day. This represents an echelon of culinary quality that very few catering companies can offer. Culinarissimo can.
Thanks to sharp operational management, we work with top-tier suppliers under the most favorable market conditions. There is never a need to cut corners on fresh produce or kitchen talent. We build our margins on meticulous process optimization, allowing us to deliver wholesome, exquisite dining experiences while ensuring fair, dignified wages for our staff.
Modern Engineering, Artificial Intelligence & Human-First Service
I began learning web software engineering in the summer of 2004, just before entering 10th grade. By 2010, I launched my first commercial digital project. Back then, there were no shortcuts or polished online bootcamps; everything had to be learned through rigorous self-study, creating a deeply grounded technical foundation. Today, combining that engineering background with over a decade of real-world kitchen and culinary management experience across Israel, creating an advanced tech product in the field of quality foodservice felt like a natural mission.
Booking premium catering in Israel has never been this straightforward. At Culinarissimo, we built transparent, turnkey culinary packages tailored for diverse budgets and formats. Our pricing is 100% upfront before you even customize your menu. Our intelligent menu builder provides chef-curated foundations that you can easily tailor to your exact preferences. We don’t hide behind clunky callback request forms. Our WhatsApp client concierge connects you directly with a dedicated culinary coordinator from your very first message.
Culinarissimo is fully native across three languages: Russian, Hebrew, and English. These are three fully realized linguistic experiences—not automated machine translations—ensuring seamless comfort across WhatsApp and web alike. In 2026, intrusive phone calls have become obsolete. We never harass our clients with high-pressure sales calls. We are not selling high-pressure pitches; we provide refined hospitality solutions so your event unfolds seamlessly.
Furthermore, we intentionally eliminated mandatory user registrations. Every feature and pricing calculator is open to everyone with zero friction. We gather only the bare essential contact information needed to coordinate your event. If you use WhatsApp, we do not even ask for your email address. We never monetize personal data or flood your phone with promotional spam. Our greatest marketing is consistent, flawless service delivery.
Culinarissimo is growing as the most dynamic company in the field of quality foodservice. Artificial intelligence empowers our team to streamline operational workflows and eliminate kitchen bottlenecks, giving our culinary team more dedicated time to focus on craft, flavor, and hospitality. I take immense personal pride in building a service founded on transparent, honorable values.
Exceptional Service as the Non-Negotiable Standard
Anyone familiar with the local landscape knows the state of customer service in Israel can often be frustrating—whether dealing with deliveries, contractors, or banking. It is telling that receiving normal, attentive service is often perceived as an extraordinary pleasant surprise. Our mission is to normalize dependable, high-touch hospitality. Our internal repeat booking metrics already demonstrate that our clients value this difference.
Many traditional caterers simply resell pre-made factory foods, repackaging mass-produced items into disposable trays or relying on heavily processed frozen fryers. All that food ends up tasting and looking identical. I do not consider that authentic hospitality, and I refuse to feed people that way. I am grateful that our clients consciously choose genuine, nutritious food for their celebrations and care about the well-being of their guests.
You cannot be accountable for what you do not control. That is why Culinarissimo manages every detail within our scope end-to-end. Whether it is an intimate family milestone, an executive corporate summit, or a large public celebration, Chef Leon Zohar and our culinary team manage all service timings with surgical precision—allowing you to stay fully present with your guests.
I am proud to share our journey and the value system driving our craft. Choose wholesome, honest, and exquisite food ❤️
