“really excellent food“

“We recently celebrated our son's first birthday, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service and delicious food provided by Giuliano’s Catering Company. From the moment we reached out to them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident, ensuring that our event would be nothing short of perfect. The menu they curated for us was outstanding. Every dish was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly tasty. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the variety and quality of the food. The grilled veggie platters were fresh and flavorful, the sandwiches were generously stuffed and impressively large, and the fruit platters were an absolute delight. Special mention to the Sloppy Joe’s Platter, which was a huge hit and had everyone coming back for seconds! Beyond the food, the team at Giuliano’s went above and beyond in their service. They were prompt, courteous, and truly attentive to our needs. Their staff handled set up seamlessly, allowing us to focus on the decorations and last minute details. They also took special care to accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, Giuliano’s Catering Company exceeded our expectations in every way. Their dedication to excellence and passion for what they do were evident throughout the entire process. They played a significant role in making our son's first birthday a truly unforgettable experience. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch catering for any occasion. Thank you to Bill & Michelle for making our celebration so special. We look forward to working with you again in the future!“

“Delicious, fresh, well constructed.“

“Good afternoon FBF. Well I got about 2 hours of sleep and I am back at it again! I actually saved the most important thing that set this party aside from others... The biggest shout out to THE HANOVER MANOR. I want to thank the following individuals who made EVERYTHING possible for our events (Even our church's 180th Anniversary) Kudos to Angelo, John Tsanakos & Steve, all the staff and the maître d's for both occasions, I cannot thank you enough for all the accommodations you made that made each event spectacular. So if anyone needs a place to have an event, whether its your parents or your anniversary, weddings, birthday parties, family reunions or hell even a divorce party, I recommend The Hanover Manor in East Hanover, NJ located at 16 Eagle Rock Avenue. They are very reasonable. I appreciate Angelo, John & Steve because they appreciated me - no matter what! That is how a true business is ran. So hats off the everyone at The Hanover Manor. You have my vote for a few more celebrations in the near future! 🥰❤☺😄“

“Andrew and his team recently catered our daughter’s baptism and it was incredible. To start, the menu selection is impressive for all tastes. The most difficult part of the experience was having to choose what to get off of such a creative menu because everything sounded delicious. When Andrew arrived, he and his team set up at our house quickly. The Tuscan Display was ready when guests walked in and they were completely in awe, as was I. The presentation was so beautiful and once we dug in, it was safe to say as good as it looked. The hors d’oeuvres were passed around and they were being devoured! At the end of the party, the team cleaned up (you wouldn’t even had known they were using the kitchen all day) and wrapped up and labeled all of the leftovers. When they left, I had family members arguing about who was taking which left overs home. It was THAT good! Not one thing we ate was mediocre; it was all out of this world. Wish I took pictures, but I was too busy stuffing my face!“

“Lisa in Catering is amazing! She truly makes sure all your needs are met and thinks of everything. We used them for my son’s birthday party and everyone raved about the taste, quality and presentation. Lisa is now helping me with my youngest son’s birthday! If you are looking for great food and customer service this is your place!“

“Crystal Plaza provided us with the absolute best wedding day team ever. Not only is the venue itself gorgeous and has plenty of rooms for everything you need plus a beautiful garden for outdoor pictures or events, but also the entire staff was also so helpful, understanding, accommodating, and reassuring when scheduling meetings and going over details for our wedding day. Their office is extremely organized and has already thought of every single detail or worry that could possibly cross your mind.

Our day-of Maitre D went above and beyond our expectations and handled every last detail for us behind the scenes. Throughout the night, he kept track of our wants and desires while also making sure everything ran smoothly. He memorized every detail we told the team during our meetings and ensured the day went perfectly. Our bridal and groom attendants were also amazing - they were extremely attentive, reassuring, and caring. Their friendly and responsible manner eased any nerves we had that day. Overall, their team absolutely surpassed our expectations, and we are so happy with how our day went! Crystal Plaza really knows what they're doing and we were so confident leaving the most important day of our lives in their hands.“

“I want to say thank you so much to The Grove for hosting a wonderful evening for my bride and her husband’s wedding this July. Was absolutely gracious to our coordinating director and all around pleasure to work with Big A (that’s what I’ll call her 😁). From morning to night, I watched her carry herself with grace like pressure was not a thing at all. Her experience in the field was definitely top notch and she stayed hands on throughout the day (and I mean THE WHOLE DAY!) She stayed attentive for anything or any person which I’m sure is a huge thing to juggle whether the wedding party is big or small. Her team made sure to take care of so much for the couples’ day and the aftermath of everything coming together made it a dream to see it all after the long day we had.

The Grove has a beautiful accommodations of room size(s) and variety that I’m certain would provide any event that needs hosting space as well as catering and decor! Hope those who are looking to book a venue in the Northern New Jersey area stop in to see what The Grove has to offer.“

“First time using American BBQ and they were amazing! Everyone said how good the food was and the spread they provided was amazing. Brendan at our event couldn’t have been more professional and helpful! We can’t wait to use them again for another event. Thank you for making everything so easy from the first communication, to the last!“

“As a first time visitor I found it to be a relief to get a majority of my favorite cuisines in one place.

Service at this location was a kiosk ordering process, which honestly works given the sheer amount of options.

I was worried it would be questionable given that I had American, Asian, and Spanish food, but everything came out very hot and extremely delicious. Their food was more flavorful than some of the higher end restaurants I’ve frequented in the area, which says a lot.

As a bonus, I did NOT have any weird aftertaste or finger swelling (usually when restaurants use too much salt making their dishes).

If I had to do a game night or had people with different dietary wants/needs eating with me, this would be my first stop since everything is readily available.

What a Wonder this place is indeed.“

“The Great Wazu is the reason small businesses are the HEART of a community. I am a soon-to-be small business owner myself. I walked in this place tonight like I do every 1-2 weeks to get dinner. Sara behind the counter has gotten to know me and ALWAYS remembers my order. Tonight, she asked me what was new, and I told her I had been upset all day worrying about all the stuff I have on my plate right now getting my business ready to open. She was the sweetest. When I reached for my credit card, she told me my order was on her and gave me a hug and said, "You got this." It was one of the most human experiences I've ever had, and I just want everyone to know how special this place is. It's not just the sandwiches. It's the kindness.“

“Delicious food thank you for all the great meals 😋“

“UPDATE ! Patrick Lopez and the Wilshire are all in on dedication and professionalism to providing a couples wedding dreams come true. They not only rescued an art factory couple but literally 2 days before their events, thier caterer went mia too !

“We ordered the everyday Wednesday special on Friday. It was fantastic!! Thank you!!“

“This was my second corporate event with Michelle. Our attendees left speaking of how lovely everything was and continued to thank us the next day. I am so happy to have found Michelle's Catering last year. I couldn’t ask for a better partner for my VIP events. Michelle is intuitive, collaborative and creative. Chef is excellent. The food is wonderfully curated and executed. The servers, bartenders, and set up team is accommodating and gracious. I will continue to reach out to Michelle's Catering for future events.“

“Beautiful venue for an elegant wedding!!!“

“Simply Lisa's catered my daughter's birthday party. The food was amazing! Guests couldn't get enough of the eggplant rollatini! The service was impeccable. I highly recommend Lisa!“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“Great food! I love the weekly specials, you won't be disappointed“

“We had Chef T cater our son’s baptism. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and quantity of the food provided — and everyone was raving about it! There was not a single item that I wish I had not chosen, and there were so many more options that we are excited to try in the future. The ordering process was easy and Chef T is extremely friendly. Thank you for helping make our son’s special day even better!“

“Amazing amazing amazing the food was delicious the service was great and the Kremas reminded me of my family’s recipe! Definitely recommend them for the food is very traditional and you will love it!“

“My husband and I weren’t into the idea of wedding cake, so we went with wedding donuts! From start to finish, Lauren was incredible to work with. Not only are her donuts ridiculously delicious, she was super accommodating and always quick to respond when we had any questions or concerns. She even let us borrow a donut wall and stands for the big day! Whether you want to treat yourself or have something fun and unique for a special event, Lauren and her donuts will not disappoint😊“

“We ordered the general tso’s pizza yesterday for dinner and my family loved it. My son ate the last 2 slices for breakfast this morning. The guy who took my order over the phone was very patient and nice. I personally love their food as I’ve ordered many times from them when I was working in Wayne. We will definitely be ordering from now on because my family loved it. I can’t wait to try the Thai chili pizza with fried calamari. Great job Pizza One !!!!“

“Best Philly Cheese steaks around!! Blue Angels special👍👍“

“I had dinner here and it's the best ITALIAN FOOD I've had in a long time,SERVICE was great as well.“

“We just had a Summer Soirée which was catered by Ome caterers! The entire experience was wonderful! I can’t say enough about the sublime food, the professional staff (shoutout to Ali for all the help in planning and to Josh for his amazing managerial skills at the party)! The rest of the staff was equally professional and wonderful! Josh made sure to check in with me throughout the event and they were set up and ready to go on time! The food displays and fresh flowers elevated the atmosphere and was a perfect foil to my white party theme! The fresh raw bar, cheese display and the slider selections were phenomenal! The desserts were exceptional! They even provided a delicious gluten free dessert for those guests with gluten sensitivity. Everyone had a wonderful time! I would give them 10/10 for the entire catering experience! Josh made sure to leave some food for us as I never eat at my own event so we enjoyed the food the next day! We’ll definitely be using them again for future events! I look forward to trying all their menu options in the future!“

“Great food and great service. Going back next week!!!!“

“What did it take for our small wedding reception to be completely worry-free? Drew and The Fruited Plain Caterers! Having an outdoor wedding reception on October 19 on our back deck could have been "hit or miss" because of the uncertainty of the weather. But Drew connected us with the right rental company and the heated tent was AMAZING! With 25% of our guests being vegetarians we needed a caterer who could deliver deliciousness to all our guests. Drew totally hit it! We opted for a family style luncheon and got raving reviews on the quality of the food. From the first contact email 12 months ago, to the last dish put away on wedding day, we felt we were in great hands with a consummate professional. Drew was flexible enough to accommodate some of our special requests, and because we were dealing with the company owner, decision-making was straight forward. His servers were professional, efficient and friendly. My kitchen was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived! And if all that wasn't enough, honesty and integrity were also a key aspect of our working with Drew. He caught a staffing level mistake on our final invoice and personally delivered a refund check for the amount we had overpaid. Now THAT's someone I will be working with again, and recommending without hesitation to all my friends!“

“100% The food is so fresh. My family had Thanksgiving and Christmas catered. The taste of the food is so very Good. The meat was so tender it melts in your mouth.“

“Anthony and his staff were very easy to work with. He cooks with pride and it shows. The food is excellent, especially the pasta Bolognese and Graffiti salmon. The hors d'oeuvres were the highlight of the party, the mac & cheese crocks, the kobe beef sliders, coconut shrimp, just to name a few. The wait staff was very personable and pleasant. The buffet stations were set up beautifully. I highly recommend Creativa Catering and look forward to using them again.“

“We feel so lucky to have had Judy cater our wedding (Masker’s Barn, 90 guests). I had never had anything catered in my life and Judy was so patient addressing all of my questions. All the food looked and tasted delicious. Among the guests' favorite dishes: Mini potato pancakes, honey glazed salmon filets (my favorite), stuffed shells with marinara sauce, oven-roasted baby potatoes. Judy was also able to accommodate my last minute requests for gluten free servings. Her staff were efficient and proactive and the way they arranged my mom’s desserts made her so happy. We look forward to working with her again!“

“The best service and dishes in the area! Of all the towns nearby, I've had catering from a handful and Cheryl's team delivers above and beyond, better than anyone else. I can't wait to order again for our next event. Thank you for your amazing food and excellent service!“

“Such a fan and handsome owner.“

“The Best 🌟🌟🌟🌟 reminds me of my Nona and PopPop’s house every Sunday.“

“We came here to celebrate a family members birthday and I have no cooking skills at all, so I was surprised by how much fun I had taking this class! The food was amazing and chef D made it an amazing experience. Super excited to come back again and I learned a lot“

The peeps work so hard.
Thank you HCD for being the Summit of Sandwich Shops🤩‼️“

“Pleased and delighted with the job Pomp did for our Bar Mitzvah - Friday night dinner for 30 followed by a Shabbat Kiddush luncheon for 130, both with delicious food, tastefully served and arranged, and the kindest staff to prepare and serve. Highly recommend!“

“We had The Fruited Plane cater our wedding. Drew and his team were EXCELLENT!! The food was amazing - we received so many compliments about it! I had to hide the leftovers from my family because the food was so good that the leftovers kept disappearing the day after the wedding. Drew is honest, hard working and a great chef! Don’t wait - hire him NOW!“
