Caterers near Plantsville

“Just attended a wedding at this venue. There were 3 weddings on the grounds. Driving in was a little confusing as the 1st weddings was doing photos in the driveway once you turn in. It was difficult to drive around them, and we didn't know there were 3 weddings, so it was confusing. Once figured out our wedding was in the back, we moved forward and only then saw valets directing traffic -which was later than was actually helpful.
Once we got onto the grounds, it's beautiful. And yes you do see other weddings, but you are not on top of each other and each wedding had separate space.

The venue is lovely -there's a windmill on a small lake, there's a massive fireplace. It's stunning.

Food was delicious -the appetizers were incredible. Service was fantastic -what a wonderful staff!

We had an amazing night and the venue is absolutely perfect.“

“had a 75th bday party on Sunday and had it catered. fabulous job! everyone raved how good it was, I loved the hot box and the fact that it kept everything nice and hot until ready to serve. Definitely will be using raggazinos again next time im hosting a gathering.“

“try the dixie dog, pulled pork, bbq, cheddar cheese and coleslaw, 9'' dog on a grinder roll, wooowww what a dog !!!! 2 thumbs up.....“

“My experience with Emily’s catering was wonderful from start to finish. The tasting was wonderful and they were very collaborative, they adjusted their typical summer menu to include short rib at our request. Additionally they were courteous to our large number of sober guests and served sparkling cider for the toast, they thoughtfully left us a bottle to take home with our cake! All of our wedding guests raved about the food after and were very impressed with the quality. At many weddings guests wait around hungry for dinner after cocktail hour but Emily’s Catering’s expert serving timing eliminated that issue. Overall the team was communicative, accommodating, and delivered an excellent product. I would 100% recommend them for any event!“

“So much to write for our catering company. I originally talked to our selected vendors from our wedding site. Bourassa was a NO BRAINER. Their menu was expansive, affordable, plainly written with no HIDDEN FEES! Every time I had called, someone answered within two rings. Every time I emailed, I had a response within an hour. I was stunned by their 5 star reviews across SIX DIFFERENT SITES and knew I wanted to know more. Everything was personalized. Every question was met with curiosity and compassion. They filled our stressful decision making days with laughter and light. They didn’t try to upsell me, pressure me, or change any of my choices. They helped with our centerpieces, staffing shortages, venue issues, communications with other vendors and the list goes on. Our tasting was romantic, personalized, and CALM. Nikki and John will always have a special place in our hearts from the gift they left us in our wedding suite. The dinner everyone is still raving about and we’re excited to frequent their restaurant in Wallingford ASAP to go back for more. We love you guys and knew it was right to trust you from the start!“

“Owning a business, I’ve looked into many meal kit companies for easier & quicker meals due to how busy I get. Box Bistro is by far the best I’ve had! All of the meals fill me up more and taste so much better than the other options out there. Not to mention they’re low calorie & high in protein. I just had the turkey BLT on homemade foccacia, and just raced here to write this review. This is one of the best sandwiches I’ve ever had. They have something special there and I’ll be a frequent consumer!“

“Delicious jerk chicken and brisket! The chicken in particular was cooked beautifully and had great heat and flavor. We got the combo platter at the Continuum event yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I didn't get a chance to come over myself to say hello since I was inside, but I'm glad my husband and I got to enjoy the BBQ for lunch. See you guys again!“

“We had our wedding catered for our 9/9/22 wedding and Joy and her crew were amazing!!!!!! The food was absolutely delicious and the execution of it all was gorgeous!!!! Joy goes above and beyond from start to finish and everything was flawless!!!! The whole staff were so attentive and kind!!! So professional as well as feeling like we are amongst friends, La Cucina is just incredible at what they do!!!! Ryan & Jeanine Massiello 🫶🏼“

“great food exellent service“

“Michael's Catering was who we used for our wedding on 9/30/23. It was absolutely delicious! There was plenty of food and so much left over! It was well worth the price especially for such delicious food. We chose the silver buffet menu. They were all so great and so prepared that when we had a huge hiccup in our wedding ceremony time, that they jumped to it and got hors' doeuvres out for the guests instead of making them wait. Highly recommend!!!“

“Had a wonderful corned beef dinner on St. Patrick's Day! With cabbage, potatoes, carrots, Irish soda bread and a cute green frosted cupcake for dessert. Can't beat it! Delish!“

“Checked out sambas food truck today at gastropark. Got the fish tacos and the fish and chips . FANTASTIC!!! So much flavor and so much food!!! The fish had such a terrific crunch and zest. Definitely looking forward to checking them out again.“

“jerk chicken Rasta pasta is amazing“

“La Bella Vista is a spectacular venue we’ve had the good fortune of working at as full-time wedding photographers for several years now. More often than not we are there in the fall with the foliage surrounding us. La Bella Vista is a great location if you are looking for something intimate, elegant, yet comfortable and approachable. On site ceremonies are gorgeous outdoors, and moving to the reception space is wonderful because there is SO much space inside for the entrances and dance floor. One of the highlight’s of everyone’s evening is usually hors d'oeuvres and dessert with both offering countless fantastic options in a beautiful space. One of our favorite aspects of visiting is always the attentive staff and superb coordination. There is always someone looking out for the couple, checking on the progress of the setup, and keeping everything on time. They always look out for us as vendors as well, making sure we get our meals, ensuring we’re ready to go for the next event, and helping with all the little touches when it’s go time for photographing the couple, bridal parties, family and friends. We always recommend La Bella Vista when couples ask for feedback. While this is written from the perspective of a small business owner, this is an unbiased and unsponsored review, and we can’t wait to be back soon.

“The food was great BUT.... when the man arrived with the food it was expected that my party guests and I unload the truck AND set up the catering trays! When booking the event no one informed that I would to need to provide my own help to get the food set up - I hired a caterer so I didn’t have to do that. It was quite disappointing to realize a bunch of my guests were lugging heavy catering dishes from the truck and trying to find a tool to open and light the sternos! Had I know I would have hired someone to be there to do it instead of making my guests do it. Once the food was set up it was good. The veggie chili was delicious and everyone raved about the BBQ ribs and chicken. I would forego the green beans and lemonade/ice tea. Those things just weren’t worth it. Overall I would recommend them with a caveat that you must know that for the price you’re not guaranteed a full catering setup. Disappointed.“

“Highly recommend. They have a variety of great tasting items that you be able to find several items to enjoy. They really should open a full scale restaurant.“

“One of our first weddings was at the stunning Aria, and we’ve had the good fortune of working there as full-time wedding photographers over several years now. When you first walk in to the space you are taken aback by the size and scope of the elegant surroundings. We particularly love the staircases and how everything can be used for photography of the couple or as a group. It’s so important to be able to move around freely and get creative with angles for posed and documentary photography, and the space makes this possible. The exclusivity and scope of the venue helps a couple feel very special on their day with so many facets of the property to enjoy in and out. We have yet to photograph a wedding in the new chapel, and we are as excited as anyone to book our first ceremony there soon. Aria also allowed us to do a Christmas fashion photoshoot in their spectacular entrance area with all their beautiful decor, and winter is definitely an incredible season to have a wedding here. Suffice it to say their communication and efforts are superb. Aria has such a deep staff that is always assisting couples, guests, and us as vendors, and I am struggling to recall a time where there was any major issue during any of our weddings. We would recommend Aria to you and anyone for a wedding or any event! Scott Kruitbosch @scottkruitbosch Noella Barone @photosbynoella“

“Great food that never disappoints. everything is homemade to the best and the baked goods are always excellent. Wish I could go there more often. If you haven't you must🥰“

“Large order placed at 1:15 on Sunday afternoon,was told 35 minutes,ok. Got there at 2, order wasn't ready until 2:45. Warm food was done first,hot dogs cooked in the microwave, cold food done last. Also she took an order, while I was standing there whating for mine,and completed that order... wtf. On top of this cluster f_&k she had no clue how to use a cash register. It's probably been 20 years since I've been there, Bob was great, Holly awesome, Chris wonderful. However Chris, I'll never go back, sorry“

“Great place A gem in New Britain all must try. Love that garlic bread sticks“

“LBs sweet treats offers a variety of specialty cupcakes and I asked for egg free and she was able to oblige. the cupcakes were delicious and she made them just as her and I discussed. I would totally recommend her for cupcakes and probably cake and cookies and cake pops too!!! thanks so much Lauren“

“A friend recommended that I try the shrimp scampi and I'm glad I did. It was delicious ! The shrimp was large crispy and plentiful!! It may be my new favorite dish .“

“I love house of BBQ & Bacon anytime I have tried something new I have never been disappointed! Everything on their menu is flavorful and delicious! I find myself craving their food and having to stop in! Definitely a go to place to eat!“

“The store owner is great he is always kind and always smiling. When I have any questions it seems his staff is sufficient in knowing what the best options are. They sell cigarettes which is convenient and have a really good stock of high end beers and different wines. Lottery and some juices are located next to the register. I will keep coming back to this store and to his other store as well on Jerome Ave. Good prices at both.“
