“I have had the opportunity to work with Along Came Carol Catering and The Nook on more than one occasion, beginning with a beautifully curated 50th birthday dinner, and most recently through another meaningful celebration, my foundation's Warrior Mom Brunch.
You could walk right past Fairfield Avenue in Fairfield, Connecticut and completely miss this hidden gem and honestly, I love that about it. Carol may not appreciate me saying this, but there is something special about a place that feels exclusive, like you have to be in the know.
The moment you step inside The Nook, you feel transported. The space is thoughtfully curated, whimsical yet bold, vibrant yet intimate. It carries this old world speakeasy charm that somehow manages to feel classy, celebratory, artistic, and deeply personal all at once. It is the kind of place that can hold joy properly, victory dinners, milestone birthdays, praise dance moments, sisterhood gatherings, all of it fits naturally within the walls of this beautiful space.
And then there is Carol’s culinary brilliance. I have never seen a menu so extensive. Soups, pastas, chicken dishes, creative combinations you did not even know existed. The choices can honestly become overwhelming in the best possible way because just when you think you know what you want, Carol introduces something that completely changes your mind.
What truly sets this experience apart, however, is Carol herself. She is warm. engaging, personable and totalled invested in what she does. Her passion rubs off on everyone around her. She cares about your event as though it were her own because the success of your celebration reflects her level of professionalism, creativity, and excellence.
If you are looking for a small intimate venue that can beautifully hold all the joy life has to offer, this is the spot.“

“They made us feel special last night. And the food was excellent t - Best I’ve had outside of Mumbai!“
“We hired Fitzgerald's to do a funeral repast. We were very pleased and impressed with every aspect of their service. Several people texted us to tell us how much they enjoyed the food. Also, their team was exceptional. They met every request beautifully and were such a pleasure to work with. John is a really special guy. They were very helpful and flexible in planning the menu. The wonderful Fitzgerald's team made a very difficult day just that much easier.“

“sooo good, went back two days in a roll.
The potatoes were perfectly seasoned and tender, toast was buttery and soft, and the omelette as you can tell from the video was very packed with meat and pepper.
All for under $12 - will definitely be back again“
“Fortuna's catered my wedding at the Beardsley Zoo this past weekend - we had the edible garden table for cocktail hour, taco station and Greek station for dinner, and crême brulée for dessert. Kristin was an absolute pleasure to work with; her enthusiasm and creativity is unmatched and made the process so stress-free and fun! She loved all my wacky ideas and really ran with them to the fullest potential. Pricing is extremely reasonable, menu entirely customizable, and most importantly the food was incredible (it all got eaten!) Thank you so much Fortuna's!“

“How happy and at ease we are to know that you are officially our new food supplier. Your food and staff helped to make our 2025 Holiday Shopping Extravaganza perfect. Thank you so very much.“
“Highly recommend! Delicious food, my family would not stop raving about the short ribs, they melted in your mouth. Chicken and salmon were also good. The sides were equally delicious, mix of veggies, potatoes, and mac and cheese. Michelle, the special events manager, was super attentive and great at communication and planning via email. I love that this is a farm-to-table catering which supports local farms, and delivered the food hot for our event at our house.“

“Our company has been using Cafe 4 catering for years, each month for lunch. Everything we have ever ordered is always fresh & delicious. Our all time favorite is the Malin salad with grilled chicken. The balsamic vinaigrette is to die for. Also they have the best chicken salad wraps & turkey club wrap with chipotle mayo. All their sandwiches are great! Do yourself a favor & stop in for lunch, you will not be disappointed!“
