“Italian Guy Catering did a fantastic job for the rehearsal dinner for our son's wedding this weekend. The food was delicious, the staff was wonderful and the owner Paul was so nice to work with. Thank you Italian Guy Catering! We will use you again in the future!“

“Marsail catered our wedding and did an absolute amazing job! The food was delicious and cooked to perfection ??

He was also very very easy to work with and so nice! Would recommend him to anybody who’s planning any kind of event that needs a caterer!“

“This has always been our go-to lunch spot in Chico, for over a decade now! Best salads and healthy reboot dishes in the area! You can’t go wrong with the kale slaw, eat your veggies, power boost, or polenta lasagna! Thank you Bacio’s for all the healthy and local foods you provide!“

“I can’t recommend Special Times Catering enough! From the moment I reached out, Shandi made the entire process so easy and stress-free for me. I started wedding planning later than most and didn’t have time to do a ton of research, but after reading her stellar online reviews and getting wonderful feedback from vendors, friends, and even my own sister (who attended an event catered by Special Times and raved about the food), I knew I was in good hands.

Shandi was incredibly responsive and organized from our first contact. She answered all my questions quickly and explained everything I needed to know—what she’d handle, what I needed to provide, and her timeline for the day. Meeting with her a couple of weeks before my wedding put me completely at ease; she covered every detail and made sure I knew exactly what to expect.

The day of the wedding, everything went off without a hitch. We had appetizers served right after the ceremony (my only regret is not getting to try them, but my guests raved about them!). For dinner, we went with chicken, mashed potatoes, and macaroni and cheese, which were all a huge hit. We opted for mac and cheese to accommodate all the kids we had attending, but it was definitely popular with the adults also. We chose a dessert bar instead of cake, which included brownies, cookies, and chocolate-covered strawberries. Our guests absolutely loved it, and the take-home bags for dessert were a big success.
The drink station was set up perfectly, with water, punch, and iced tea in addition to the open bar, making sure everyone had options. I barely noticed all the behind-the-scenes work because Shandi managed everything so seamlessly—from serving us personally to coordinating the buffet and keeping everything cleaned up. I didn’t have to worry about a thing from start to finish.“

“Meat was flavorful! (Had chicken, al pastor and asada.) Prices were great! A little over $27 for 3 tacos, 2 supreme burritos and a torta. Just wished there was guacamole in the supreme burritos. Overall, would definitely recommend and will be back to support.“

“Thank you for the amazing sandwich board, salad, and brownie bites. It was delicious and perfect for my occasion!“

“Excellent service, beautiful overall experience.“

“My favorite Taco truck. Everything I have tried is wonderful. Tacos, burritos, and nachos are delicious 😋“
