Giannos Catering & Special Events

We had Giannos cater pizza and appetizers for our wedding recently. Food was delicious and there was plenty leftover!

They catered our wedding and we had a great experience! Our guests raved about how good the chicken Marsala and mashed potatoes were. We also used their wood fired pizza trailer and gelato bar for our rehearsal dinner which was a huge hit. Chef Dave was awesome and provided excellent service. They also had friendly and helpful staff to help serve. Highly recommend!

My daughter used Gianno’s for her wedding. The food and service were top notch. The Chicken Marsala was tender and flavorful and the garlic mashed potatoes were a hit. Many guests commented on how they could eat their weight in them. Thank you for helping make her day so special.

We used Giannos for our wedding catering and the food was spectacular. We were a little nervous when we first booked them, as the original tasting was a bit too traditional Italian for our tastes, but they allowed us a second tasting with our preferences in mind, and the creativity and level of the food was exactly what we wanted. Chef Dave and his team have a fantastic sense for flavors and helped us create a menu we were thrilled with for our guests. They provided alternate meals for our guests with dietary restrictions with ease, and everything on the big day was exactly the way we envisioned it. The day-of staff were so friendly and helpful, too; they were the stars of the day and made sure everyone was fed and happy. We were satisfied with our experience with Giannos overall.

Excellent wedding dinner and appetizers! Everyone loved the food.

Gotten spaghetti there before and was great but today wasn’t good, too much spaghetti and little sauce also wasn’t hot plus was $2.00 higher than last time. Don’t think I’ll go back

I had the BEST experience with Dave and Gianno’s catering on our wedding day!!! Dave is so responsive and accommodating— and curated an incredible menu with options to fit any dietary requirements! We offered guests a variety of hors d'oeuvres ranging from vegetarian to seafood and our buffet had a variety of delicious proteins, carbs and sides to complete the meal! Dave and his staff were an absolute pleasure to work with and I highly recommend them.

We had an excellent experience having Giannos cater our wedding. Chef Dave was very willing to call us and talk through every detail leading up to our event. We have had multiple guests share with us that the food was absolutely delicious! We had the beef tips, risotto, and portobello mushrooms for our dinner in addition to the gelato bar and champagne cart - we are so appreciative of all of the hard work that the Giannos team put into making our event everything we wanted!

Dave and his crew are top notch!

Giannos catering was amazing for our wedding. We got so many compliments on the food. We did buffet style. The food was warm, delicious and wonderful presentation. Their on-site team and bartenders were absolute gems. They always had smiles on their faces. They were prompt on setup..and efficient. The planning process was seamless, very easily to work with and very responsive. Can't say enough good things about them.

We had Giannos as our caterer booked with an all inclusive wedding venue they service regularly. Dave was kind and easy to communicate with. We had samples of several dishes prior to choosing our menu. We chose a pasta bar for our cocktail hour. We selected salmon, parmesan risotto, and what was supposed to be pesto veggies for the entree and sides. We discussed our menu and had corrections made after there were mistakes. Once we had the correct menu, we signed off on it. Fast forward to day of, we had two sauce options we had chosen. One was supposed to be a pesto cream, but we were served regular cream/Alfredo sauce. It was still good, but not what we agreed on. As far as the entrees, we had agreed on pesto veggies, and we were served regular steamed veggies which ended up being pretty bland. That is why we wanted the pesto. Additionally, the risotto was extremely overcooked to the point where several of our guests commented on the texture and taste. The salmon was pretty good and the service seemed to be quick. But it was disappointing putting work into selecting a specific menu for our wedding and not getting what we asked for. Our guests were still able to enjoy the meal, I just think it could have been much better.

Would definitely not recommend their catering services. Kellen and Chef Dave made lots of promises and talked up their catering services for our wedding when we tasted with them. However, the day of the wedding they were over an hour late. Myself (the bride) and the wedding planner were calling Kellen and Dave minutes before walking down the aisle with no answer or response. The food truck finally showed over an hour late and then wanted to know where the table was for the appetizers, even though we had been assured several times that they were providing tables and table clothes for the food. Then, they ran out of forks and I had guests eating salads with their fingers. We signed a contract saying that the food would be served for 5 hours and they closed up the pizza truck after about 3. We were also promised during the tasting that there would be no line for the buffet because they like to get people through, however there was the longest line I’ve seen for food. Overall the experience was disappointing, stressful, and the caterers were unprepared. We talked to Chef Dave after the fact and there was no apology or reimbursement. Do not use their catering services, especially for your wedding.

Dined on a Saturday night at 5:30. The place was busy and there were people already waiting for a table. We called ahead for a reservation and were seated promptly. We were in town for a wedding in nearby Greensboro, and we had one night to dine out so we picked this recommended Italian spot. We are glad we drove the 20 minutes and got to experience this popular restaurant. We tried the crab cake appetizer that is served with very delicate onion rings – it was quite tasty. Salads were fairly large considering it was only the included salad. Their house salad dressing was amazing, but my husband thought the Caesar was just so-so. Husband tried prosciutto chicken served with spaghetti noodles in alfredo. The dish was very rich, and was good, but not as good as my dish. (also, the serving size is very large. When we asked our waitress about size of the entrees, she indicated that it might not be enough to be shared, but we didn’t find that the case at all. So I’m not sure if that was just her perspective or if she was trying to upsell the meal. When asking her about the wine options, I didn’t get the feeling she could confidently speak to them, but she was sure to recommend the most expensive bottle of Sauvignon Blanc. Sometimes the most expensive bottle is not necessarily the best.) I tried the classic lasagna. It was so good: many layers of noodles & cheese, and a good amount of red sauce for us (some might think it a little heavy.) I think there could have been a little more beef in it, but otherwise I can’t say I’d change a thing. Things that could be improved – timing between courses. We had the appetizer and then ordered our meal. Salads came out rather quickly, but then our main dishes followed within 5 minutes.

We had Gianno’s cater our wedding and rehearsal dinner. Dave is so kind, helpful, and easy to work with. He is very responsive and went out of his way to accommodate our needs and make sure we were happy with our selections. Our guests loved the food! Highly recommend!!!!

Dave and his staff catered our daughter's wedding. They created a traditional El Salvadoran dinner since the groom and many of the guests were from there. We were blown away with the service and we had so many guests tell us how delicious dinner was. Dave and his staff even took care to prepare a special plate for my daughter who has some severe food allergies. I highly recommend Giada's in Kernersville. Easy to work with, great service and delicious food.
