“We recently attended a New Haven high school reunion at Lost In New Haven Museum. The Olde World Pizza Truck was hired to serve 70 people. The food and service was excellent. Everybody in attendance commented how good the experience was. The staff was friendly and professional, serving different pies on a timely basis. The salad and Gelato was a nice added touch. There was plenty of extra pizza for the people to take home. All trash was cleared, no extra work. I highly recommend this company.“

“Having an outside party? THIS is the best food truck to hire! Today, June 21,2025, I’m at my niece’s graduation party & this food truck was amazing! It’s like having a personal restaurant on your lawn. The pizza was fantastic -THE BEST- actually! Frank made me a gluten free pizza with potato, bacon & carmelized onions. Oh my goodness! It has to be the BEST GF pizza I have ever eaten in my life. Super thin, well cooked! I can’t say enough good things about this pizza. He made all types of pizza. Very organized, clean and so delicious! Wonderful people to talk to! Then they have other services like Gelato Giuliana-between the pizza and the gelato-it is the best of New Haven! Then if that wasn’t enough, he made Italian coffee! I have never been so impressed by a food truck in my life as I was today! Wonderful experience! Best Wishes to Frank & his team! Buon Appetito!“

“Our wedding at Amarante's was a dream come true. Truly. The manager Dominic was exceptionally professional. I felt like our wedding was the only one he was working on! I don't know how he does it. Our maître d' of the evening, Darlene, is a superstar! She executed everything with grace and poise -- always checking in to see if we needed anything. All in all, we couldn't have asked for a better experience or more perfect day. Our wedding was months ago, and our guests still talk about the stunning sunset views, the delicious food, and how much fun they had. Thank you for a beautiful memory, Amarante's!“

“I had my wedding at Cascade on 7.3.2025 and it was nothing short of PERFECT! The staff was so helpful and accommodating, the food was delicious, and the drinks the bartender were serving up were so good. Overall, the vibes were immaculate and far exceeded expectations. Thank you to Silvana and her team for helping make my wedding day one that I will never forget :)“

“I just had my wedding here in May, and everything exceeded all my expectations for myself and my guests! The food was incredible, the staff was nice, Brian who ran the show on my big night was super helpful and attentive. The palm trees arrived on time and were stunning! The whole venue really is just beautiful between the beach, landscaping, terrace area where they have flowers and a beautiful view for guests during cocktail hour: i have zero complaints! We traveled 2 hours from home to have our wedding here and we already want to go back for a holiday event!“

“We just used Est Pizza for my daughters graduation party. They did a fantastic job. All the workers were very pleasant, the pizza was delicious. Great amount of variety! The frozen yogurt was the best frozen I ever had. I highly recommend using Est Pizza for you next event.“

“We worked with Karen and her amazing team including her talented head chef Tess for our wedding in Summer 2024, and I literally could not recommend them more highly. We had a complex multi-cultural wedding and we wanted to do something special for our food, so floated the idea of Korean-style rice bowls with delicious mains and tons of vegetables and sauces to Karen. To our delight, she was super energized by the idea and SKBT did everything they possibly could to ensure that our food was absolutely phenomenal and unique, down to the tiniest of details. They also made their own vegan kimchi, which my Korean family complimented highly. Over and over again we heard from our guests how the food was the best they’ve had at a wedding, and one dear friend said, “this isn’t wedding food, this is HUMAN food” which is exactly what we wanted. Karen and SKBT are competent, creative, detail-oriented, and heartful professionals and we were so excited to work with them to give our loved ones the best meal we could with our budget. Thank you Karen and team!“

“Shaken and Stirred did a phenomenal job catering our wedding. They were happy to do some custom items by request and all the items were crowd pleasers. We decided to go with Stations instead of a sit-down dinner. Their presentation was amazing and got you excited to eat before the first bite, which was great. Their staff was attentive and friendly. Their bartenders were a lot of fun and went above and beyond the call of duty. One of the owners was overseeing the event himself and made sure it all came together. Highly recommended.“

“Went there for lunch...we had both specials...broccoli abd mushroom flatbread and clams over linguini...my husband was in heaven with the clams. This is one of if his favorite dishes and this was a top 10 rating. The place was super clean and friendly. We will be back! A 10 rating...5 stars x2!“

I tried a sampler of six (out of the eight available) flavors: • Traditional chocolate chip • Salted caramel • S'mores • Cannoli • Blueberry lemon • Orange creamsicle The other flavors were oatmeal raisin walnut and peanut butter chocolate chip. The six flavors I had were absolutely amazing. The cookies were light and flavorful, absolutely delicious. They make gift baskets too, so you can share the goodness. Highly recommended.“

“Afro-Tina came to my wedding on Saturday, October 8th. Their food is so delicious! The empanadas (including tres leches), jerk salmon, sazon chicken, and bbq cauliflower were excellent! Not only is their food flavorful, their staff is super friendly. I can’t thank Ohioma enough for his help. He made me feel at ease. If you choose to go with Afro-Tina, you will be in good hands. Hiring them was the best decision I made for my wedding.“

Atmosphere was very casual with people coming in and out, kids playing in front, and a lot of conversation between customers, management, and kitchen staff. Very neighborly place with friendly service and great food.“
