“Lifesaver! My boyfriend's favorite dessert is banana cream pie and it was his birthday the next day and I did not have the time or desire to make it myself. Started searching online for a place I could order one. I checked out the website and was thrilled to see it on the list! I was able to text Stephanie to ask about ordering one the next day, and she said she could make it happen. It was so easy (I loved being able to just text her and sort it out), the pie was delicious, I could cross one more thing off my list, and the bf was THRILLED. Wins all around! Absolutely using Stephanie again for the next special event. :)“
“I always stop at Avi's truck at the Civic Center Market. His blintzes, latkes, hamantaschen, and macaroons are as good as any I've had. His sandwiches are the bargain of the market, and so fresh and delicious. Everything is good and the whole experience is unique and special.“
“Hiring Classic Culinaire for our wedding last September was one of our best decisions. They made the whole catering process seamless from the tasting to planning the logistics to the actual wedding. Not only was their food fantastic, but the team is amazing. They are caring, attentive, and we are so grateful to them. Throughout our wedding, the team made sure everyone had what they needed at all times. Our guests are still talking about the food and service to this day. They were a highlight of our wedding day! I want to give a special recognition to Rachael, the operations event manager. We appreciate her for her experience, knowledge, professionalism, and flexibility. She helped our vision come true and we appreciate her so much. We also want to thank Chef Chad for creating the best vegan chocolate chip cookies. All in all, we cannot recommend Classic Culinaire enough and cannot wait to have more events to have their delicious food and service!“
“We used Ray's Catering for a buffet lunch after our daughter's memorial service. The memorial service was held at the Bill and Adele Jonas Center on the College of Marin campus. We knew from the moment we spoke with Dan, Ray's was the caterer we wanted to use. There was nothing we had to worry about and allowed us to focus on the event itself.There are several reasons we chose Ray's. They have the alcohol license to purchase and serve which is required by venues - no extra time or work required from us. There were many options to choose from for food options within our budget. We expressed a food item our daughter particularly liked and Dan was more than enthusiastic in providing this as an option for the buffet.Ray's has a working relationship with the Jonas Center and is very familiar with the building, requirements of the venue, capacity limitations, and in particular room layout based on needs.Leading up to the event, Dan was in communication with us, Melinda (the Jonas Center event manager), food/alcohol decisions, planning of event timing, table count w/tablecloth ordering, and final costs. Day of event, they arrived on time and quickly set up. Everything was organized, well-presented, and clean. Ray's catering staff was friendly, checking in on our needs while at the same time staying behind the scenes. The years of catering experience, knowledge of the venue layout, and what works best for the event, allowed us to focus on the memorial service and not have any worries, which is what anyone who is having an event wants. After the event, items were packaged up allowing us to take them home and enjoy. They cleaned up to the requirements of the venue again allowing us not to have to worry.The years of experience in the catering business allowed us to focus on the event. We highly recommend Ray's Catering for your event.“
“Still luvin Tagliaferri's Deli in Novato, CA. I dropped on by a couple of weeks ago. I stepped in mid afternoon, it was not busy so I did not need to pull a number. The staff greeted me from the get go. The sandwich was fantastic as usual. I ordered the menu board #1 sandwich. I wanted it on a sweet French roll but they ran out. So I got it in on ciabatta instead. The sandwich was delicious. It had a nice serving size of deli meats served on quality bread. Hubs and I split the sandwich. We also ordered a meatball, olives in the deli case, and some cookies. The meatball and olives are by the pound. The meatball was tasty and tipping the scales. It was hefty sized, heavy, and dense. I broke the prongs of three plastic forks tackling into the meatball. Besides the deli, they sell Italian dry good items and frozen house made lasagna, raviolis,tortellinis, pizza, and sauces. They also have a cold case of nonalcoholic drinks, perfect to pair with your sandwich. You can even choose to dine there, they have a few inside and outdoor tables.“
“If you like good Italian food, this is the place to go. The food is homemade, with love. You can literally taste the love in their food. I have only done Togo orders. I ordered their meatball sandwich, AMAZINGLY YUMMY! I also have had the anti pasta salad, olives, salami, mozzarella with a balsamic dressing, really good. Everything on the menu sounds delicious. They get pretty busy, so plan accordingly. Whenever I'm in Novato this is where I order from. Make sure you have napkins/utensils before you leave, they don't put them in your Togo order for you.“
“I had the pleasure of meeting Stefanie who worked a Celebration of Life at my facility and she did a really good job of set up and clean up. Also the food looked amazing and I know the family that hired the caterer were very pleased. Preferred Sonoma Caterers are welcome here anytime.“
“We found Paella del Reyes through our wedding planner when we were looking to do large scale paella for our rehearsal dinner at Triple S Ranch. Thomas and his team did an amazing job and def wowed our guests. Everything tasted amazing, their setup was beautiful and it made the whole event such a fun, relaxing vibe. 10/10 would use them again for a large dinner party if I ever host an event in the Napa Valley again.“
“Just got a half Caesar with chicken, the creamy pesto pasta salad and A bag of chips for $10.50. I had my almost 3yr old with me and they gave us extra treats for him and said "the kids our future" they seriously made my day can't wait to go back again soon because it was a great experience and delicious food!“
